Dr. Darren Slade over at the Global Center for Religious Research has written an excellent essay about the excuses that theists, especially conservative Christians, give when it comes to mass shootings. In case you might not know, "miso" means "hate" and yes, one can do that even for imaginary characters. "God and Mass Shootings: A … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – an excellent essay about morality, gods and mass shootings

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – now the QOP finds another group they’ve ignored to use as an excuse
Currently here in the US, we have the usual conservative Christians trying to force their lies on everyone again, this time trying to stop legal abortion. We also have them being ever so concerned about children in the US being "starved" by immigrant families being given infant formula, which is in short supply here in … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – now the QOP finds another group they’ve ignored to use as an excuse
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – it’s time to stand up, liberal Christians
Unsurprisingly, conservative Christians are doing all they can to turn the US into a theocracy. They want to control everyone, not just women, not just LGBT… folks, not just people of different religions, etc. Everyone. All based on their belief that some god wants this. They of course can’t show this god even exists or … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – it’s time to stand up, liberal Christians
Not So Polite Conversation – my discussion with Alexander part 2
Unsurprisingly, the comments got a little hairy looking on the prior post. Alex seems to have determined he doesn't want to debate things anymore. This often happens when the theist finds they have nothing when it comes to supporting their claims. In this case, Alex was unable to give examples of his accusations against various … Continue reading Not So Polite Conversation – my discussion with Alexander part 2
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – the conservative christians want a theocracy where no one has privacy
I'm guessing most of my readers have seen that a draft opinion from the Supreme Court of the United States, was revealed to the public. This opinion is to end the legality of abortion in the US at the federal level, and that original case was built on the fact that no government has any … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – the conservative christians want a theocracy where no one has privacy
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – a great paper on how cults rationalize their nonsense
Just a link to a very good paper on how cults, aka religions, can invent nonsense and end up believing it to be true. Thanks to John Loftus over at Debunking Christianity for giving the link. “The Rationalization Hypothesis: Is a Vision of Jesus Necessary for the Rise of the Resurrection Belief?” — by Kris KomarnitskyThe … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – a great paper on how cults rationalize their nonsense
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Christians are atheists too
I, and many other atheists, have pointed out to theists that they are atheists too. They simply don’t believe in other gods, often for reasons just like I do: there is no evidence. They often get upset by this revelation, since it neuters their common attacks on atheists e.g. atheists are those scary communists, etc.Nothing … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Christians are atheists too
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – lying is no problem for a conservative Christian who want to claim persecution
This is about a case going to the Supreme Court of the United States. https://freethoughtnow.org/misinformation-and-religious-privilege-at-the-supreme-court/"The case, Kennedy v. Bremerton School District, involves a Washington public high school football coach, Joe Kennedy, who wants to be able to pray publicly with students. Kennedy had a long history of leading his players in prayer, in the locker room … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – lying is no problem for a conservative Christian who want to claim persecution
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – and yet again a Christian fails in their claims of what makes someone leave their religion
A fellow in my home state, Mark Farnham, from a relatively close by bible college, has decided to make a list of why people have left his religion. And of course it’s the same baseless claims, and ignorance. He has this nonsense on a rather vehement evangelical conservative Christian website called “Sharper Iron”, and claims … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – and yet again a Christian fails in their claims of what makes someone leave their religion
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – prophecy nonsense
The Associated Press has an article about the magical nonsense invoked by Christians, specifically the Pope. Way back when, there was the Fatima nonsense, where people saw Mary floating around and giving prophecies. Now, again, its being claimed to be "fulfilled" which is always rather silly since it apparently has already been claimed to have … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – prophecy nonsense
