It’s that time of year again, when trees are blooming and legislators give a sop to their constituents, trying to make believe that their version of Christianity is the state religion of Pennsylvania and the US. Last year it was the nonsense about the “Year of the Bible”, which I posted about here, and here, … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – It’s spring and the PA legislator lies are in bloom!

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – a take on a couple of religious columns from the newspaper
Today we have two great columns from The God Squad (can you be a squad if you are only one guy?) and Billy Graham. The arguments are so poor in both that only together do they provide enough fodder for one post. Since I know I have quite a few Christians following my blog, I … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – a take on a couple of religious columns from the newspaper
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – My body is mine: I support Amina
I’m a little late on the International Day to Defend Amina (not safe for work because of revealed breasts), but I’ll take my stab at women, men and religion in support of this woman who told a ignorant patriarachal religion and culture, “My body belongs to me.” and now is being abused by that religion/culture. … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – My body is mine: I support Amina
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Mr. Roberts, what do *you* think the SCOTUS is for?
Why does it seem that Chief Justice Roberts has no idea how US government works? It seems a sudden fit of ignorance brought on by fear. During the Supreme Court hearings recently about gay marriage, we get this choice quote from Chief Justice Roberts: “If he has made a determination that executing the law (DOMA) … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Mr. Roberts, what do *you* think the SCOTUS is for?
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – that ol’ war on Easter
It's no surprise to anyone that there are a lot of Americans that are amazingly ignorant and very loud about it. Bill O'Reilly is one of the loudest. This time? Well, Bill has this to say "Easter is a good holiday, you don’t have to believe in Jesus…” Video here. This is a lovely sequel to … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – that ol’ war on Easter
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Agenda 21 and the Americans who think the UN is coming to take their women…or something…
(while we’re waiting for Mr. Rogers to show how wrong I am, I thought I'd return to a more political bent) In my line of work, I’ve come upon the “UN is evil, with black helicopters” crowd. People in central PA (and all over the US), are *sure* that the UN is going to take … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Agenda 21 and the Americans who think the UN is coming to take their women…or something…
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Part 9, the second half of #19, limestone, coelacanths and circular reasoning
Part 2 of the entry for #19 We're at the penultimate post for addressing all of this nonsense! Next are mentions of limestones, living fossils and polystrate fossils. Oh and a quote from Dawkins, whom creationists are sure that all atheists worship. The quote is “"Creationists are fond of saying that there are very few fossils in … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Part 9, the second half of #19, limestone, coelacanths and circular reasoning
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – The illegible post, part 1
So here we are with the first installment of the review of a Christian’s blog post. The numbers in his post seem to be meaningless since I have used no such numbering in mine. It is anyone’s guess what he might be referring to when, for instance, he claims we agree on something. I believe … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – The illegible post, part 1
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Another TrueChristian(tm) steps up, Part 3
(Woody is at it again. Rather than have this as another comment, here is my response to Woody's latest series of baseless claims in an easier to read format. I go into evolutionary theory a bit more in this post. You can read his whole post at the link above but the choicer bits are … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Another TrueChristian(tm) steps up, Part 3
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Another TrueChristian(tm) steps up, part 2
(Since I had it done, here it is. Part 1 is here.) Part 2 I had not heard about the “dane’s kings list going back to Noah”. I wonder do you know of the list of Japanese emperors that goes back to the goddess Amaterasu and further back to Izanagi and Inzanami? I didn’t think … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Another TrueChristian(tm) steps up, part 2
