Many are writing about the debate between Bill Nye and the TrueChristian Ken Ham. Expectedly, given the result, some TrueChristians are insisting that it is only “Ham’s type of Christian” that has lost so badly. They are smug in their superiority that *their* magic decoder ring is the only right way to interpret the bible. … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – my thoughts on the recent debate between Bill Nye and Ken Ham

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – prayers and theist claims, or “again, why believe such claims?”
In a delightful coincidence (no gods needed), w have another Billy Graham bit of nonsense about prayer, prayers for water in the American west, our current TrueChristian, KD, claims about how his prayer was answered, and his claims on how dare anyone bring that up, complete with indignant words on why it’s the atheist’s fault … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – prayers and theist claims, or “again, why believe such claims?”
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Republicans fall flat on face again, assure women that they only want up in vagina, not to give them fair insurance
Wow, Mike Huckabee is a twit, not that you didn’t know this already. One more Republican who has said that somehow Democrats think women are weak and have uncontrollable libidos and *that’s* why Democrats think they have to provide women birth control coverage in health insurance. Huck has said that Democrats supposedly say “they [women] … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Republicans fall flat on face again, assure women that they only want up in vagina, not to give them fair insurance
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – professional and amateur theists and their straw men redux
This week’s Sunday paper had a most entertaining column from Billy Graham Evangelical Ministries. The title my local paper gave it? “Atheists live by faith of God’s nonexistence”. Yes, that old saw again. (link to the sad little thing here). Mrs. J.Q., the questioner, tells BG that her cousin has read some books by atheists … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – professional and amateur theists and their straw men redux
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – a Christian commenter comes slinking back, and a question: why believe one and not the others?
(Januaryy 22 - an addendum. We have one Christian who answered the question at the end of this post. You may find what he said here. He believes in other gods in addition to his god. There are arguments for and, of course, against this in the bible.) Happy New Year! Welcome new "followers". I … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – a Christian commenter comes slinking back, and a question: why believe one and not the others?
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – those who doubt gods should seek answers… whoa, only the ones Billy approves of!
I was going to do a blog post about the myth of the “war on Christmas” that is so popular this time of year. However, it’s just low hanging fruit, since one can see that there is anything but a dearth of Christmas celebration and awareness in December. On my way home to visit my … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – those who doubt gods should seek answers… whoa, only the ones Billy approves of!
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – A potpourri of recently noted reasons on why religion is silly
There’s been a handful of things that have caught my eye that demonstrate why religion is silly. And lest, anyone be confused, religion is defined for *this* post as the beliefs, actions and practices that are based in belief in the supernatural. So, if you think that there is a soul, that there is a … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – A potpourri of recently noted reasons on why religion is silly
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – I get a real “fan” letter, paper, envelope, everything!
In our last installment of “Not So Polite Dinner Conversation”, I had a post about the usual theocratic antics by Rep. Saccone and various Pennsylvania legislators. I converted my post into a letter to the editor (vastly cut for length) and it was published in the local paper. I’ve been pretty lucky in having letters … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – I get a real “fan” letter, paper, envelope, everything!
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Pennsylvania politicians desperate to force Christianity on everyone now hiding behind claims of “history”
Unsurprisingly, we have more theocratic hijinks from some of our Pennsylvania legislators. Interested only in forcing one religion on everyone in the state, these wannabe theocrats are claiming that it’s just “history” that they want to educate people on. We did have one Democrat go with the theocrats and one Republican that did not when … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Pennsylvania politicians desperate to force Christianity on everyone now hiding behind claims of “history”
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – again, why speak out?
First, I’d like to welcome my new blog followers. We have some new Christians of some type or other (some quite sure that they are the only TrueChristians), so I invite you to ask questions of me, a real live atheist. 🙂 I’ve addressed a lot of common theist claims on this forum so you … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – again, why speak out?
