On Hillfaith, a rather unpleasant and pernicious attempt to get conservative christianity wormed into US gov't, the author Mark Tapscott had a post lauding one of the worse apologetics I've seen in a while. It cites a Charles Leslie, who is claimed as a "historian" and is no more than a pastor from the late 17th … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – the pathetic apologetics of Charles Leslie

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – that ol’ “sophisticated theology” again
Haven’t seen one of these for a while. This is a classic “sophisticated theology” nattering by Rev. Garrick Sinclair Beckett. Here’s my response. Nothing much new. Memes at the bottom. "The atheistic characterization of Christians’ belief in God as faith in “an invisible sky daddy”—or “invisible sky wizard with magical powers” as I recently heard it—is … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – that ol’ “sophisticated theology” again
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – the confusion about David
As my readers know, the bible is chock full of contradictions. The entire field of apologetics has been invented to deal with a set of books that were never meant to be together. What is amusing is that this has been a problem with all of the bible, NT and OT. After going off on … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – the confusion about David
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – putting jesus on trial
Found this on a rather silly christian blog. It's all of the common christian baseless arguments in one place. a few memes at the end.And here's how that all fails:I’ve put this jesus on trial and unsurprisingly, imaginary beings fail that.Jesus’s teachings are all over the map. One can see how different authors made up … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – putting jesus on trial
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – the typical christian confusion about the worth of a human life
On Hillfaith, there are the typical conservative christians who try to lie about how much their god cares about human beings. In this post, it's about making a choice, saving a pet or a person."Your decision becomes ever more complicated when you realize you only have one life preserver on hand and you aren’t a … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – the typical christian confusion about the worth of a human life
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – christian excuses about prayer
John Clayton, a christian who tries to claim that science agrees with his religion and that prayers work, has failed a couple of times recently. In one post we have this:"It is interesting that the more vocal atheists of our day spend a lot of time talking about prayer. Many of them became atheists because when … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – christian excuses about prayer
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – a classic example of how Christians make their god in their image
Mark Taylor, a pastor at a congregational church has written a piece that is classic for showing how christians make their god in their image. Not wanting to accept that his bible is full of a vicious and ignorant god, Mark must claim tht this god is "really" Jesus, whom he conveniently forgets is also … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – a classic example of how Christians make their god in their image
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – an update on the cathedral to celebrate overthrow of Roe v. Wade, not to help children or women
Back in June of 2022, I posted about this effort to build yet another useless church. Unsurprisingly, it's taken them two years to do anything at all. Curious how those prayers just don't do anything at all.This is a part of their plea for more prayers, in case their god hasn't heard what they are … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – an update on the cathedral to celebrate overthrow of Roe v. Wade, not to help children or women
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Poor SOM, failing yet again
one more for good measure....If you are a new reader to this blog, you may not be familiar with a fellow named "Silence of Mind", a TrueChristian(tm). He's been around a while and as always he fails miserably with his screeds about atheists. He's on about how bad atheists are and trying to very hard … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Poor SOM, failing yet again
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – for your delectation, a discussion with a typical Christian
Pastor Jonathan Waits has challenged me to put up his replies to my comments on his blog. So, with his permission, I have. You can see them on his blog too, and I'm sure there will be more. The following is *very* long, tedious and has very little new in it, including no evidence for … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – for your delectation, a discussion with a typical Christian
