Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – the legion of doom, Trump has Michele Bachman as part of his spiritual team

"The religious right movement has struggled for decades to play a leading role in choosing the Republican Party’s presidential nominee, but this year, social conservatives declared early on, would finally be their year. And yet, after doing everything right and carefully following their specific strategy, the GOP ended up going with a thrice-married adulterous casino … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – the legion of doom, Trump has Michele Bachman as part of his spiritual team →

What the Boss Likes – Reason Rally 2016

We are back from the Reason Rally 2016 which was June 4th.    The weather wasn't looking to promising as we drove down from Harrisburg, low clouds and drizzle, and I was dreading another repeat of 2012.  But once we got there the sky lifted with high clouds, and later in the day, the sun peaked out. … Continue reading What the Boss Likes – Reason Rally 2016 →

Not Polite Dinner Conversation – Reason Rally, and thanks, Ray, for showing that your god doesn’t exist

(welcome folks who have followed the link from John Branyan's post.  May I direct you to his comment about his audience?) We're going to the Reason Rally in DC this year.   I'm hoping for much nicer weather than last time, where it was quite wet.   No ark needed though.  It looks to be a good … Continue reading Not Polite Dinner Conversation – Reason Rally, and thanks, Ray, for showing that your god doesn’t exist →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – “churches deserve protection from those who would harm worshippers.”

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – modern medicine would have helped – religious parents who harm and kill their kids (alas, again)

"Mariah Walton’s voice is quiet – her lungs have been wrecked by her illness, and her respirator doesn’t help. But her tone is resolute. “Yes, I would like to see my parents prosecuted.” Why? “They deserve it.” She pauses. “And it might stop others.” Mariah is 20 but she’s frail and permanently disabled. She has … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – modern medicine would have helped – religious parents who harm and kill their kids (alas, again) →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Here we go again in PA, TrueChristians hiding behind nationalism

In their ritual of showing off how virtuous they are, some PA representatives are trying to again force their version of their religion on others in HB 1640, aka "National Motto Display Act".  The sponsoring representative is Chris Dush (such a name, miserable to grow up with and certainly appropriate now).   The rest of the … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Here we go again in PA, TrueChristians hiding behind nationalism →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – yep, one more abuse scandal – here in PA

Unsurprisingly, we have yet ONE MORE investigation that shows that the Roman Catholic Church has aided and abetted the rape and abuse of children. This is now in the diocese about an hour’s drive from the state capitol Harrisburg. There are many excuses given for the church, that it isn’t at fault. The church has … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – yep, one more abuse scandal – here in PA →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – breaking an oath

It seems that the Republicans in the Senate only want to pay attention to the US Constitution when convenient for them.  To refuse to accept a nominee from the US President just because they don't like it is very unconstitutional.  They are refusing do to the job they swore to do.  It's pretty damn amusing when they do … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – breaking an oath →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation: an excellent essay on why a new atheist has come to the correct conclusion, written by a TrueChristian

A Christian that I have had a chance to cross swords with, Lyle Duell, has written one of the best essays on why a new atheist has made the right decision.  This is, of course, rather inadvertently on his part, or at least I suspect so.  Once upon a time, one could comment on Mr. … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation: an excellent essay on why a new atheist has come to the correct conclusion, written by a TrueChristian →
