Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – “Why can’t animals talk?”

Rabbi Gellman, who used to be part of the God Squad with a catholic priest, still has a syndicated column. I occasionally address them there. This time it’s a column that in my paper is titled “why don’t animals talk”. Now many cultures have myths on why this is. They are just-so stories like Kipling … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – “Why can’t animals talk?” →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – oh the arguments over imaginary friends

This blog is quite bemusing.   Abrahamists are after each other on whose version of their god is right: https://bloggingtheology.com/2019/09/02/islam-jack-chick-and-the-battle-for-souls-your-best-life It does come down to "My imaginary god is the right one. No, mine is! Your holy book is contradictory. No, yours is." The blog is a great example of how theists use the same arguments … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – oh the arguments over imaginary friends →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Addressing Christian spam nonsense.

I felt like a long post today, sitting here in the air conditioning.  If you've been reading my posts, you'll have seen most if not all of this before.  Move on and watch part of one of my favorite cartoon movies Rock and Rule: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aR-Z92eXVoo Occasionally, my spam filter catches some lazy Christian spam.  The … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Addressing Christian spam nonsense. →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Exodus redux

Lest anyone think that I have only issues with Christianity, here is the link to the first part of my Exodus series.  I look at the strange story of the exodus in the bible. Passover is based on the idea of putting blood on doorways to avoid being killed by the angel of a supposedly … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Exodus redux →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – a gathering of thoughts about various recent events.

Vermin-in-Chief Ray Comfort, the fellow who tried to get atheists to take his book by giving out food gift certificates and was shamed in to giving said certificates to people who need food (still $7,000 unaccounted for), wants to tell his followers to tell the Jewish people that they are so very “angry” about the … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – a gathering of thoughts about various recent events. →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – wannabee theocrats marching in DC today

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 – 960,000 tons of what?

I’ve been crossing swords with a particularly tenacious Christian, “scientific christian” (you already know where things are going with that screen name) and the discussion has gone far and wide, though mostly staying around the idea of having evidence supports one’s claims. My apologies for anyone who commented in that thread and has thus been … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – 960,000 tons of what? →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – “churches deserve protection from those who would harm worshippers.”

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 →
