Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – just how screwed up the xmas story is

The fellow over at Hillfaith, has this "Beginning at 11:00 am at the Faith & Liberty Ministry Center located on the Senate side at 109 2nd Street NE, right behind the Supreme Court Building, the Nativity Scene where Jesus was born two millennia ago will be recreated. The baby Jesus, Mary and Joseph will be … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – just how screwed up the xmas story is →

Not So Polite Conversation – one more christian insisting that everyone must agree with his nonsense

I’ve always found it most curious on how desperate Christians are to claim that, no matter what non-christians say or know, their imaginary friend simply must influence us.   No evidence for this, just the need of Christians to pretend everyone really does agree with them. A Catholic, Bishop Robert Barron, wrote an opinion piece for the … Continue reading Not So Polite Conversation – one more christian insisting that everyone must agree with his nonsense →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – christmas in a nutshell

I found this nonsense on youtube, from a group called "abolitionists rising" a typical wannabee theocrat group of cultists who are against abortion. "The Son of God Entered the Womb to Redeem the World! Jesus Christ did not enter our world through a birth canal. He did not begin his earthly existence in a manger … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – christmas in a nutshell →

What the Boss Likes – an utterly bizarre Xmas ornament

I've been going through some items my aunties have given me, old craft supplies, a LOT of beads, and Christmas ornaments. Most of what I got was circa early 70s.Now I just have to wonder what some poor Chinese man or woman had to be thinking when asked to make the manger scene. Look below. … Continue reading What the Boss Likes – an utterly bizarre Xmas ornament →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – “A Case for Christmas” critique part 4

Part Four – The Prophetic Fingerprint Well, happily this is the last of the “Case for Christmas” videos. Here’s email’s spin: “Some people believe the Old Testament doesn’t apply to those of us who follow Jesus. They think the ancient history, poetry, and prophecies are irrelevant to today’s modern culture. Yet, the Old Testament is … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – “A Case for Christmas” critique part 4 →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – “A Case for Christmas” critique Part 3

Part Three – “A Mind-Boggling Proposition”  yeah, it’s really called that. So, in addition to the latest bit of nonsense from Lee Strobel about Christmas, I also got an email from another shilling preacher from biblegateway.com about the Jews.   Now, I find Jewish belief just as ridiculous as Christian or any other belief but the … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – “A Case for Christmas” critique Part 3 →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – “A Case for Christmas” critique part 2

Part Two – Beneath the Fake News So, here we have week two of the “case for Christmas” and unsurprisingly, we have a conservative Christian using Bumbling Idiot Donnie’s favorite lie. Per Lee, Christmas has been “victimized” by fake news.  Amazing how a supposedly omnipotent character just can’t do a thing about us puny humans, … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – “A Case for Christmas” critique part 2 →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – “A Case for Christmas” critique Part 1

Part One – Setting the Record Straight Well, Lee has quite a challenge here since the story of the birth of Jesus Christ, and therefore Christmas, is certainly quite a mess.  We have two gospels that just ignore it, two that have the details everyone knows but are contradictory and Paul who has seems to … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – “A Case for Christmas” critique Part 1 →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – “A Case for Christmas” – preview of a critique

Being completely bored, I signed up for Bible Gateway’s shilling of Lee Strobel’s new book “The Case for Christmas”.  I figured this will at least give me something to do and give me a few posts for this blog.  The videos are free, but they really, really want you to buy the books. Unsurprisingly, this … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – “A Case for Christmas” – preview of a critique →
