What the Boss Likes: claims, reasons and evidence

When I discuss religion here, it is usually about claims that theists make based on their respective religions. In most cases, those claims and religions get their details from what are deemed “holy books”.   These can be anything from how the universe came to be, to how one should eat, or how one should treat … Continue reading What the Boss Likes: claims, reasons and evidence

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Well, we got the truth on what some Chrisitans really want -A theocracy and a war.

This morning I read The Friendly Atheist’s (aka Hemat Mehta) post on Patheos: “WA Lawmaker Attends Fundraiser for Liberty, a Proposed 51st State for Christians”   Of course these idiots think that they can just take other people’s land, up in the northwest US and that the US Constitution will allow this.   That won’t happen. Now, … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Well, we got the truth on what some Chrisitans really want -A theocracy and a war.

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – happy ridiculous holiday weekend!

I've done quite a few posts on just how silly Passover and Easter are. My exodus series can be begun here. Here is a main post on easter.  I'm sure you can find more just by searching over here in the upper right hand corner search box. Conservative Christian antics about easter is here in … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – happy ridiculous holiday weekend!

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Moving the goalposts, prayer as a weapon, ignoring questions and the usual theist nonsense

Well, I finally have some time to write a blog post. Between work, and painting, and simply being disgusted with the world, I put this off. I did do a couple of craft shows with my alcohol ink paintings and I sold one thing on Etsy. Made back my entrance fee and then some, so … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Moving the goalposts, prayer as a weapon, ignoring questions and the usual theist nonsense

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Anti-Israel isn’t anti-Semitic

While I’m still dealing with influenza (I always forget just how horrible it makes you feel (and to see why you do feel horrible see here)) , I thought I’d do a post about the current religious nonsense here in the US. We have conservative Christians having a tizzy that a US representative criticizes the … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Anti-Israel isn’t anti-Semitic

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – And we still haven’t heard a “clear logical defense of Christianity”

(as always, if you follow me for food, wine and art posts, you may want to skip this post.  Any “not polite dinner conversation” posts are about politics and religion) I haven’t poked fun at Christian attacking their fellows as being wrong in a while.   It’s such a good way to know that Christianity is … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – And we still haven’t heard a “clear logical defense of Christianity”

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – us atheists haven’t heard a “clear logical defense of Christianity”??

As my title says us atheists haven't heard a "clear logical defense of Christianity".  At least that's what good ol' Ray Comfort says.  He wants Christians, and atheists, to come to his failing Ark and listen to what he claims to be this unicorn, since, no, there isn't any such thing as a "clear logical … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – us atheists haven’t heard a “clear logical defense of Christianity”??

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation: More TrueChristians™ acting like idiots, and a painting

This has been a week for me running into all sorts of TrueChristians™.   They certainly do run the gamut of being just thoroughly unpleasant people. I frequently kibbitz on the Washington Post facebook page (and at the WaPo site itself).   I also comment on ThinkProgress’s facebook page. I’m Jane R@venswood there, an old email address … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation: More TrueChristians™ acting like idiots, and a painting

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – when you just can’t good help these days

A rather extraordinarily deceitful anti-atheist organization, the rather derivatively named Freedom from Atheism Foundation, has been my current antagonist today. I got my holiday present as a lovely example of how incompetent and deceitful some theist can choose to be.  As often occurs, the topics are familiar.  If you are usually here to look at … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – when you just can’t good help these days
