Today there is a “march for life” in Washington, DC. There are a lot of women there, who insist that they are feminists. There may be some men who also would claim this, since being a feminist isn’t limited by sex. They all declare that they are “for life”, aka against abortion and birth control. … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – wannabee theocrats marching in DC today

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – another in a long line of typical exchanges between a Christian and me
I've had a TrueChristian(tm) on this website, Jedi of Christ, who has made promises of evidence and then ended up doing nothing more than making threats using bible verses. He has ended with a post that is typical of a TrueChristian and I thought this would be another good example of how to address the … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – another in a long line of typical exchanges between a Christian and me
What the Boss Likes – I stand with Ahmed too
Unsurprisingly, we have idiots in the US, who were so afraid of a clock, they arrested a young man, Ahmed Mohamed. This was in Texas, surprise! President Obama has invited this young inventor to the White House, which of course will get the usual suspects sure that the US president is a "really" a Muslim. … Continue reading What the Boss Likes – I stand with Ahmed too
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – my thoughts on “A History Of God”
Over on Hessian With Teeth’s blog, the authors have watched a documentary and asked for comments about it. The doc is “A History of God” based on the book by Karen Armstrong of the same name.

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.

Here are the last bits of the exchange that Mr. Keller and I have has. (part 1 and part 2 are here) Unsurprisingly, Mr. Keller has still refused to participate in the challenge *he* proposed, the altar contest in 1 Kings 18, where the prophet Elijah competed against the priests of another faith, and had his god … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Part 3 of the Bill Keller saga, brave brave Sir Bill
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – the altar challenge, will Bill Keller take the challenge he offered to a Muslim?
Ah, back into writing about religion. It’s about time, isn’t it? And can *you* guess what the answer to the question in the title is? Of course you can! Recently, I noted a post on Ed Brayton’s Dispatches From The Culture Wars, about Bill Keller and his silly challenge to the leader of ISIL, the … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – the altar challenge, will Bill Keller take the challenge he offered to a Muslim?
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – surprise, the world is going to end….again
Since we have the usual claims of “the end times are a-comin’” thanks to the current uptick in world violence, I thought I’d devote a blog entry to the wonderful world of eschatology or as we know it here in the US, TrueChristians and their violent fantasies. To start out, we have a recent Billy … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – surprise, the world is going to end….again
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – A review of the Noah movie trailer. Oh my, the silliness and this is only a few minutes of an hours long movie.
Haven’t seen the movie yet probably won’t, because I have no desire to add to the box office hits for this stinker. But I thought I’d take a look at the trailer and the movie website. I do enjoy showing how ridiculous the flood myth is, and have done so multiple times on this blog. … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – A review of the Noah movie trailer.
