Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – keeping the door open

It’s a shame what a lot of Americans are advocating now, that we ignore the desperate and do exactly what the Muslim fundamentalists want us to do, be fearful, selfish twits. It is no surprise that it is the Republicans and Tea Party (haven’t heard that term in a while, eh?) who are cowards and … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – keeping the door open

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – pure hypocrisy

It's no surprise at all that the woman who is doing her best to force her religion on others in Kentucky is a complete hypocrite.  Married many times, having children out of wedlock, and surprise, not considering anyone else as sinful when giving out marriage licenses to other divorcees, and evidently a couple, one of … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – pure hypocrisy

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – a selection of thoughts from the recent news

Just some various thoughts about religion, politics, etc. None were showing promise as a blog post on their own, but I found them interesting enough to gather together. ........... No idea what is going on with the Republican party or its candidates. Trump seems to be doing his best to get attention but to have … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – a selection of thoughts from the recent news

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – now just where does it say “you shalt not do your job” in the bible

So... we have an entire bunch of clerks in Tennessee that have resigned their jobs rather than even have a chance of granting a marriage license to someone they don't like, that being folks who want to marry whom they want, and not whom the clerks want them to marry. It's great that other people … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – now just where does it say “you shalt not do your job” in the bible

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – marriage and a lovely example of TrueChristian hysteria

Whoo-hoo, marriage for all!   I hope that everyone who chooses to get married is as happy as my husband and I. Rather than reviewing the SCOTUS decisions since others have done a better job than me, I found a typical opinion piece by one of the horrified TrueChristians, or as he puts it “orthodox Christians” … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – marriage and a lovely example of TrueChristian hysteria

A Gay Dad Sounds Off on the Terror Threatening to Be Unleashed on California Families

A Gay Dad Sounds Off on the Terror Threatening to Be Unleashed on California Families.   Unsurprisingly, there are still more attempts to legitimize the actions of conservative theists.   The Westboro Baptists aren't the only ones that bear watching and confronting by pointing out their actions and showing them for what they are.

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – a review of “One Nation, Under Gods”

Recently, I had a short blog post about a new book I’ve read, One Nation, Under Gods.   I love the book, and thought I might write a longer post about it now. And I need to since I’m going to be lending it to my parents to read tomorrow. One Nation, Under God is a … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – a review of “One Nation, Under Gods”

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Surprise! No, not really. Theists lie to Supreme Court.

Hello folks, sorry I’ve been quiet for a while. But it’s for the best reasons: I have a new job! In 8 days I shall be back in my alter ego as administrative assistant for a non-profit.   My sojourn in retail has been interesting and occasionally fun, but I am so happy to be out … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Surprise! No, not really. Theists lie to Supreme Court.

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Yet more evidence that it’s not about concern but control, and some ruminations on prayer

Here in PA, we have yet more evidence that those who claim to be “pro-life” are concerned with nothing more than control of anyone who disagrees with them. There was a bill that would require that employers offer their pregnant employees a seat or allowing them to have a beverage at their work station. We … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Yet more evidence that it’s not about concern but control, and some ruminations on prayer

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Another wannabee theocrat here in PA – government is great if it teaches my religion

Recently, there was a letter to the editor in the local paper on why we should allow creationism to be taught in schools. It was from a pastor, Glen Bayly, of the Mifflinburg Alliance Church, a bit north of me in central Pennsylvania. You can find a bit about Mr. Bayly on the ‘net, he’s … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Another wannabee theocrat here in PA – government is great if it teaches my religion
