Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – another challenger who is sure that the bible flood happened, Diana Lesperance

(this was more enjoyable to write than reviewing bad television(which is damning with faint praise), but we’ll get to that next post.  And yes, it's long.  Such a great surprise 🙂 ). Diana’s claims about science are always curious, but nothing new in the realm of young earth creationist claims. I reviewed her claims about … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – another challenger who is sure that the bible flood happened, Diana Lesperance →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation: Where the “History” channel has a docudrama of the Book of Revelation

Just stumbled upon this "Revelation: End of Days"  a docudrama format of the nonsense from Revelation from the "History Channel" which deserves the title as much as the Syfy Channel does.  It does seem to at least have better production quality than the Left Behind nonsense, but it doesn't have the excellent porn star names … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation: Where the “History” channel has a docudrama of the Book of Revelation →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – the kvetching continues, and “you want these in the courthouse?” part 4

Now, we’re to Chapter 19 and three months since the big splitting the sea scene.   Moses, plus hundreds of thousands, if not millions, are camped at the base of Mount Sinai. Moses goes up to Y (assumed on the mountain) and Y says that he carried all of the people on eagles’ wings here (as … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – the kvetching continues, and “you want these in the courthouse?” part 4 →

15 Questions for Theists

A great list of questions for theists from hessianwithteeth's blog. I have a few to add myself: 16)When do you think the essential events of your religion happened e.g. flood, battles, etc? 17)If your answer about good and bad, or good and evil, is that we somehow need one to know the other, how does … Continue reading 15 Questions for Theists →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – “Abracapocus!” plus lots of collateral damage – the peculiar story of the “exodus”, part 2

After re-reading the story in exodus, I think I would be overjoyed to find out that there is no evidence for this nonsense if I were a believer. The characters are not the sharpest knives in the block. A quick overview of what has gone before.   We have a reluctant leader and a god that … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – “Abracapocus!” plus lots of collateral damage – the peculiar story of the “exodus”, part 2 →

Not So Polite Dinner conversation – you’d think it was a scarecrow convention, with all of the straw men

The title's a bit of a hyperbole but I just couldn't resist using it.  It’s been an interesting, if typical, week discussing gods with believers. I have been told that I would get Real Soon Now™ the “right” answer to Romans 9; that claiming that I believed something I do not is just incorrect not … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner conversation – you’d think it was a scarecrow convention, with all of the straw men →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – science proves Chrisitanity is true? Oh do tell.

I’ve recently run into a Christian named Diana Lesperance. She is the classic evangelical Christian, creationist, and sure that her version of Christian is the only “right” one. She’s written a book “The Narrow Way: biblical and historical proof that God is Great” as a response to Chris Hitchens's book. That book must be quite … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – science proves Chrisitanity is true? Oh do tell. →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – I get more fan mail or “someone sent me a million dollar bill”

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Did you miss the social anarchy? Cal Thomas and the usual deceit by Christian conservatives

Seems like we have a wealth of less than true comments here in the news from conservative Christians. Here in the US, the Supreme Court has essentially abdicated its responsibility and has left a series of lower court decisions to stand when it comes to the legality of same sex marriage. They have let the … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Did you miss the social anarchy? Cal Thomas and the usual deceit by Christian conservatives →
