Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – “I’m shocked, shocked…..”

(addendum: unsurprisingly, we have some of those "shocked" people now insisting that Trump is perfectly fine now, including a number of pastors.  Thanks folks, nothing like showing the religious right is simply cowards and hypocrites) “I’m shocked, shocked that gambling is going on in here.” “Your winnings, sir.” Just finished watching CBS Sunday Morning, where … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – “I’m shocked, shocked…..” →

(10/20/2016 - I've had a lot of Christians follow recently and like this post, as well as other posts about how religion fails.  Not sure why this is, but I'm more than happy to see people approve and agree with my posts.)

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – and one more instance of Christians telling just a little lie, Franklin Graham

Franklin Graham,  the son of Billy Graham, famous American Christian evangelist, was in Harrisburg today.   It was part of his tour insisting that one needs to pray for America.  He didn't endorse a candidate, but it's not hard to know who he wants to win, mostly because he has said it himself despites the claims … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – and one more instance of Christians telling just a little lie, Franklin Graham →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – AU blog post “Texas Theocrat Says Voting For Trump Is OK Because God Has ‘A Different Standard’”

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – American “values” and Trump’s usual idiocy

"We should only admit in this country those who share our values and respect our people.  Trump added, "The time is overdue to develop a new screening test." (all quotes from this site).

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – so now we have an ark that can’t float, for how many millions of dollars?

Most folks have seen the news stories about the exemplary idiot Ken Ham and his boat shaped building that he has built to supposedly show how true Christianity is. We also have one more large, useless, and somewhat pretty building built to support flagging faith.

"The religious right movement has struggled for decades to play a leading role in choosing the Republican Party’s presidential nominee, but this year, social conservatives declared early on, would finally be their year. And yet, after doing everything right and carefully following their specific strategy, the GOP ended up going with a thrice-married adulterous casino … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – the legion of doom, Trump has Michele Bachman as part of his spiritual team →
