Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – who’s in first?

Alas, no, not "Who's on first?" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sYOUFGfK4bU I've been crossing swords with a typical christian who tries desperately to claim there are no contradictions in their bible. There are, of course many, and they are qutie concentrated in the cruxifiction/resurrection nonsenes in each gospel. This would indicate, to me, that this is where this story … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – who’s in first?

What the Boss Likes – welcome to Easter, syncretic religion at its best
