Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – A potpourri of recently noted reasons on why religion is silly

There’s been a handful of things that have caught my eye that demonstrate why religion is silly.  And lest, anyone be confused, religion is defined for *this* post as the beliefs, actions and practices that are based in belief in the supernatural.  So, if you think that there is a soul, that there is a … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – A potpourri of recently noted reasons on why religion is silly →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – I get a real “fan” letter, paper, envelope, everything!

In our last installment of “Not So Polite Dinner Conversation”, I had a post about the usual theocratic antics by Rep. Saccone and various Pennsylvania legislators.  I converted my post into a letter to the editor (vastly cut for length) and it was published in the local paper.  I’ve been pretty lucky in having letters … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – I get a real “fan” letter, paper, envelope, everything! →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Pennsylvania politicians desperate to force Christianity on everyone now hiding behind claims of “history”

Unsurprisingly, we have more theocratic hijinks from some of our Pennsylvania legislators.  Interested only in forcing one religion on everyone in the state, these wannabe theocrats are claiming that it’s just “history” that they want to educate people on.   We did have one Democrat go with the theocrats and one Republican that did not when … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Pennsylvania politicians desperate to force Christianity on everyone now hiding behind claims of “history” →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – again, why speak out?

First, I’d like to welcome my new blog followers. We have some new Christians of some type or other (some quite sure that they are the only TrueChristians), so I invite you to ask questions of me, a real live atheist.  🙂   I’ve addressed a lot of common theist claims on this forum so you … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – again, why speak out? →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Giving credit where credit is due?

Allow me to indulge in a bit of dead-horse beating… The most recent nonsense from the Billy Graham Evangelistic Ministries is about how God simply must be given the credit when anything succeeds.  Now, it’s not said quite so broad as that, being presented as how anyone getting better after a successful surgery better thank … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Giving credit where credit is due? →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Various thoughts on politics and the current stupidity in the US

While I’m not watching the Daily Show and Jon Stewart’s unfathomable fascination with Bill O’Reilly.  I thought I’d do some opinining about politics. First with Bill O’Reilly. The man is willfully ignorant  and is proud of it or he’s just a liar and is playing his ignorant audience (hmmm, he has claimed, about himself “This … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Various thoughts on politics and the current stupidity in the US →

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 →
