Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – a bit of nostalgia and still no effects from prayers by professionals

Way back in September 2014, I offered a challenge to a professional Christian and self-proclaimed prophet, Bill Keller.  This was about the challenge he offered to a Muslim leader regarding that old testament contest in 1 Kings 18. Now during that interaction, I was promised that I would be prayed for.  He of course ran away … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – a bit of nostalgia and still no effects from prayers by professionals

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – We ate that apple or did we?

Recently, I found a post on another blog about what Christians could learn from atheists.   This was on a blog for self-described millennial Christians.   It was an article written by John Garay, who has his own blog. It was an interesting post, with some honest compliments but most the usual claims of how “rebellious” atheists … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – We ate that apple or did we?

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – reblogging a Christian bit of nonsense: The meaning of meaninglessness

This post came to my attention when Pastor Mike liked this post of mine.  It doesn't make a whole lot of sense that a Christian would like it, but I often encounter Christians who seem a little confused in what they profess to believe and what they actually believe. Nothing like watching a TrueChristian(tm) do his … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – reblogging a Christian bit of nonsense: The meaning of meaninglessness

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Exodus redux

Lest anyone think that I have only issues with Christianity, here is the link to the first part of my Exodus series.  I look at the strange story of the exodus in the bible. Passover is based on the idea of putting blood on doorways to avoid being killed by the angel of a supposedly … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Exodus redux

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – FFRF’s Blog “Easter fools, April Fools and Jesus’ pundits”

FFRF has done a good blog on the nonsense of Easter.  I'm looking forward to the live broadcast of Jesus Christ Superstar on NBC tomorrow night.  I love the music and it is a good story.  It also is a great demonstration that the easter stories in the bible contradict each other quite a bit.  … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – FFRF’s Blog “Easter fools, April Fools and Jesus’ pundits”

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – what makes Christianity Christianity?

On my last blog post, we briefly discussed what are major and minor differences between the sects of Christianity. You see, often when I point out that Christians don’t agree on what their religion means, or what their god want as a reason to not believe any of their versions, some Christians tell me that … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – what makes Christianity Christianity?

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – and back around again to creationism and which version of Christianity is the “right” one

A friendly warning to those who followed my blog for food and drink posts. The below is my unvarnished opinions about religion.  You may wish to leave now. Well, we have yet more creationist nonsense from Pastor Dave, who has spent a few days discussing how one should properly do baptism and communion; the two things that are … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – and back around again to creationism and which version of Christianity is the “right” one

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – claims, evidence and research when debating a literalist Christian

Here on WordPress, you can search for blog posts on a certain subject by using keywords. As a blogger, you can set keywords yourself (you can see them at the bottom of this post) and I also think that the system also finds them to be able to bring back search results. I have a … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – claims, evidence and research when debating a literalist Christian

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – a peculiar Pollyanna

I’ve occasionally used the posts of a Christian minister to riff off of when it comes to showing how strange Christian arguments about their god and their religion.  It’s a way to have an actual Christian’s quotes to review and to point out how their claims don’t always work out quite like they intend.  For … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – a peculiar Pollyanna

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – a couple of videos you should watch, the first is NSFW

These videos show just how ridiculous the evangelical Christian position is on birth control and also how ridiculous the evangelical Christian attitude is toward the controversy over kneeling during the US national anthem and how many false claims have been made about that by them. An excellent spoof of a Viagra ad, pointing out the … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – a couple of videos you should watch, the first is NSFW
