I’ve occasionally used the posts of a Christian minister to riff off of when it comes to showing how strange Christian arguments about their god and their religion. It’s a way to have an actual Christian’s quotes to review and to point out how their claims don’t always work out quite like they intend.

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – addressing “An Open Letter to An Atheist”
This post is an answer to a post I found while rummaging through WordPress's accumulator for posts on "atheism". It made some of the classic bad classic false claims that many Christians make so I thought it would be a good example on how to respond to such things.

Expectedly, given the result, some TrueChristians are insisting that it is only “Ham’s type of Christian” that has lost so badly. They are smug in their superiority that *their* magic decoder ring is the only right way to interpret the bible. … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – my thoughts on the recent debate between Bill Nye and Ken Ham
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – The seasonal blooming of creationism, it’s school time!
The school year is about to start in Pennsylvania and of course the creationists are in bloom. How appropriate that our current wannabee theocrat is named Rep. Stephen Bloom, a state representative who wants his religion’s creation story taught as science (here’s his website, and it has an auto play ad on it thanks to … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – The seasonal blooming of creationism, it’s school time!
