Considering the name I’ve taken for this blog, it’s no surprise that I enjoy watching people suffer by their reaping the results of their willfully ignorant choices and claims. I like to watch people who insist that they are so pious that no one can question their actions fail in their claims of divine perfection … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Schadenfreude, tasty, tasty schadenfreude

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – review of “Faith vs. Fact”; no pussyfooting allowed
I just finished Jerry Coyne’s new book “Faith vs. Fact”. It was a great deal of fun to read, even though I know, and have used, most of the arguments in it. Dr. Coyne does an excellent job of stating a premise, carefully defining terms, and then proceeding to support it with evidence, likely a … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – review of “Faith vs. Fact”; no pussyfooting allowed
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – external validation
I’ve had two recent demonstrations of the need for external validation by theists. One on Mike’s website, where a woman, Emily Rose Lewis in comments, insisted that only she was right with her fantasies about her god. When her claims were demonstrated to be false, and she was asked for evidence, the threats fell fast and heavy. … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – external validation
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 – follow those laws….or not
This week, there were a couple of fascinating columns from the usual theistic suspects, Rabbi Gellman and Billy Graham. Billy has a column on the “ten” commandments. The querent asks why we should follow them now. Billy asks in return “which of them would you do away with if you could?” as a challenge, because … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – follow those laws….or not
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – addressing “An Open Letter to An Atheist”
This post is an answer to a post I found while rummaging through WordPress's accumulator for posts on "atheism". It made some of the classic bad classic false claims that many Christians make so I thought it would be a good example on how to respond to such things. Again, plenty of these point have … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – addressing “An Open Letter to An Atheist”
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – a small interlude
Hello my subscribers. I received a very long comment on someone else's blog and wanted to take the time, and space, to respond to a Christian who is sure I am wrong and that they are the OneTrueChristian. So, this is a rehash of much of the same. This is just to give our OneTrueChristian … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – a small interlude
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – “What does God need with a starship?”
It’s been awhile since I blogged about the claims of Rabbi Gellman of the one person God Squad. But today we have a curious column from him in my local paper. The title comes from Star Trek: The Final Frontier, where Captain James T. Kirk encounters a god, something that happens with some regularity to … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – “What does God need with a starship?”
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Roe v. Wade
This day is an anniversary of the date that women won the ability to control their own bodies here in the US when it comes to childbirth and abortion. This was the famous Roe vs. Wade decision. Pleasantly enough, I have just read that the GOP majority in the US House of Representatives have failed … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Roe v. Wade
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – religious tv – yes, you knew it was going to be awful
Here’s a pair of reviews of the tv shows I’ve mentioned in earlier blog posts. The “History” channel has a “docudrama” called Revelation: End of Days. I briefly mentioned it here. Oh my, the nonsense. I fast forwarded through most of this unadulterated piece of shakey cam crap. Here’s a bit of a stream of … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – religious tv – yes, you knew it was going to be awful
