Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – a return from the past, and more TrueChristian nonsense about women, slavery, and predestination plus an announcement

I'm back from vacation. And what do I find?  A great comment to do a blog post on. One of the TrueChristians from the past has decided to return to the blog.  Ostensibly to see if I was behaving myself.  You know, us women can’t be trusted.  🙂   Of course Woody was around in February … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – a return from the past, and more TrueChristian nonsense about women, slavery, and predestination plus an announcement

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – When it’s right to stand up, even if no one stood up before

There is much ado in the media and the interwebs lately about saying “This goes no further.”  where one challenges the status quo and demands a change and where one gets resistance by those who say “there’s no real problem”. I’m involved, tangentially or directly, in several aspects of this declaration that essentially says “no … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – When it’s right to stand up, even if no one stood up before

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – a lovely detailed review of “Christian Nation” claims

Two common subjects on this blog are false statements made by theists, particularly many Christians, and the claims that the United States of American is a "Christian" nation.  This July, a TrueChristian business, Hobby Lobby, took it upon themselves to again run a large ad in major newspapers on July 4th claiming that the US … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – a lovely detailed review of “Christian Nation” claims

What the Boss Likes – More hate mail readings, this time hate mail to the Military Religious Freedom Foundation

This is absolutely hilarious, perhaps even funnier and more VILE and TrueChristian than the hate mail readings for the FFRF:  http://www.militaryreligiousfreedom.org/2013/07/mrff-hate-mail-readings-chapter-1-of-more-to-come/ It is very much NOT SAFE FOR WORK or anyone who doesn't have cast iron ears.  Parents, you are warned! Always good to have TrueChristians wishing "extremely painful rectal cancer" on others.   🙂  Gee, … Continue reading What the Boss Likes – More hate mail readings, this time hate mail to the Military Religious Freedom Foundation

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – The seasonal blooming of creationism, it’s school time!

The school year is about to start in Pennsylvania and of course the creationists are in bloom.  How appropriate that our current wannabee theocrat is named Rep. Stephen Bloom, a state representative who wants his religion’s creation story taught as science (here’s his website, and it has an auto play ad on it thanks to … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – The seasonal blooming of creationism, it’s school time!

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Part 2, The lie of “think of the children” Pennsylvania style

Part 1 here.   A rather pathetic example of one of those Christians who want to pretend their personal beliefs should be made law is a recent op-ed “Defend marriage, for the kids' sake” (yep, he went there) It was written by Brian McGinley of the Pennsylvania Family Institute, another one of those organizations that … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Part 2, The lie of “think of the children” Pennsylvania style

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – the Kalam Cosmological Argument, part 2

As I mentioned on the first part of this post, the one thing that the KCA *must* have is an unquestionable beginning to the universe. At the moment, we don’t know if that is the case or not.  We have new hypotheses, cyclic universes, brane theory, etc. These may be accurate, partially accurate or really … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – the Kalam Cosmological Argument, part 2

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Free speech here in PA restricted because God will be offended. Yep, Metcalfe is at it again.

Well, there are more amazing attempt to make Pennsylvania a theocracy.  Thanks to a friend of mine bringing this to my attention, we now can report on Christians wanting to block free speech because their god will feel bad.   Not much of a god if us puny humans can bother a supposedly omniscient, omnipotent and … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Free speech here in PA restricted because God will be offended. Yep, Metcalfe is at it again.

Not Polite Dinner Conversation – On the front of forcing personal religion onto others, we have a couple of stories in the news

A political figure has cracked down on alcohol consumption and the media. A political figure has decided that he and he alone will determine if a woman can have an abortion paid for by Medicaid, a man who has no medical education at all and who will be deciding based on his personal opinion. More … Continue reading Not Polite Dinner Conversation – On the front of forcing personal religion onto others, we have a couple of stories in the news
