Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – No, Basile, Star Trek doesn’t support your cult

Some Catholics are touting how a recent Star Trek episode has that Captain Pike is a Catholic.  The character mentions he was an “altar boy” and has him starting the lord’s prayer in a scene.Now, anyone who has actually paid attention to Star Trek, knows that it has no problem with Christianity.   We have the … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – No, Basile, Star Trek doesn’t support your cult

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – oooh, the “blight of atheism”

Ran across a blog by a catholic priest, Father Joe Jenkins.  He claims atheism is a blight and a sin. Nothing new. Just figured I'd put this up since I took the time to respond on his blog and I am comfortably sure that it won't see the light of day. (memes at the bottom … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – oooh, the “blight of atheism”

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – haven’t had a real Christian fail for a while

Billy Beniah Bussey made some claims on his blog. I engaged with them and as usual, the claims failed. In the past, I've put up some Christian claims to address them here when they are just ridiculous. This is just another one, nothing much new. "You do a lot of typing my friend. I won’t … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – haven’t had a real Christian fail for a while

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – how *does* atheism affect me

A fellow named Carl has subscribed to my blog.  He is a Christian, and has a blog called “Considering the Bible”.   I asked him why he followed my blog, and this was his response (BTW, memes at the bottom):“I noticed you are an athiest and I want to understand not only why someone would choose … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – how *does* atheism affect me

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – John White’s further fails.

It's always fun when a christian can't even make a sensible title for his blog post. No mentions of atheists in foxholes in this one, just a christian making the same baseless claims. (memes at the bottom)How nice of John White to write more nonsense for me to expose as the failure of a Christian.Unsurprisingly, … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – John White’s further fails.

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – a typical Christian parent

A christian, themamapologist, wants parents to defend their faith to their children. However, she doesn't want them to be taught their faith if it doesn't reflect well on the religion. I called her on her hypocrisy. "No, we aren’t all hypocrites. That is a common Christian claim in order to try to excuse your behavior … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – a typical Christian parent

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – FFRF’s update on various stories which involve “God’s Promises”

I'm a proud member of the Freedom From Religion Foundation, and they put out a weekly wrap up and daily emails. Here's a link to this week's wrap up. In it, it mentions this "Texas resolution has misplaced faith in God’s promises - At the state level, we’re strongly opposing a Texas House resolution that would designate … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – FFRF’s update on various stories which involve “God’s Promises”

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – the usual whitewashing and lies about Christianity

Jonathan Waits, a pastor, makes a lot of false claims. He's been here before: this, and this. Here's my response to them. Nothing much new. Memes at the bottom. "The church has a bit of a bad rap." wow, it's great fun to see christians try to minimize the harm that they've done in the … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – the usual whitewashing and lies about Christianity

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – not so “bold” after all

It's entertaining when would-be christian apologist names his blog something that he fails at. This is the case at "bold apologia" when an apologist won't let comments show. Adam, the fellow there, is quite sure he can argue that his god isn't a monster. He unsurprisngly fails. My response that I'm quite sure will never … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – not so “bold” after all

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – that fish miracle

Caroline is a great example of how christains dont' think their arguments through. Here's my response to her claims about miracles, including that fish story:It’s great when a Christian shows just how ridiculous her nonsense is.  Here, Caroline has discussed the loaves and fishes miracle, one of the many that can’t be shown to have … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – that fish miracle
