This coming Sunday is “Pulpit Freedom Sunday” where some Christians have decreed a day where they can speak their minds about various issues from the pulpit and thus from a position of authority. And indeed, I am glad that they have made it so easy to watch just how Christians don’t agree on much of … Continue reading Not Polite Dinner Conversation – Pulpit Freedom Sunday is back and I’m glad!

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Prayers have failed: Bachmann is out and our own local wannabee theocrat, plus the Pope
Seeing Michele Bachmann deliberately lying on TV makes me feel all warm and cozy inside. Few things should do more to show how religion doesn't make a person a decent, humane, human being, and it sure doesn’t keep them from breaking every rule in their very own religion. Like so many politicians who get caught … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Prayers have failed: Bachmann is out and our own local wannabee theocrat, plus the Pope
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – More intentional lies from TrueChristians who are also state legislators here in Pennsylvania, also known as “nothing is new”
Being the excellent examples of how religion makes no one a better person, we now have Pennsylvania legislators introducing yet another useless House Resolution full of intentional lies in their continued attempts to play pretend that their version of Christianity is the state religion of the United States. This resolution is HR 306 and unsurprisingly, … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – More intentional lies from TrueChristians who are also state legislators here in Pennsylvania, also known as “nothing is new”
What the Boss Likes – a small hiatus and some cool things
Since I'm wrapping up my last two days of work at my current position, I'll be taking a little longer to answer replies. I should be back to normal (or a reasonable facsimile) shortly. A couple cool things. John Paulk, the posterboy for the lies about "ex-gay" therapy, has admitted that he's lied about being "ex-gay" … Continue reading What the Boss Likes – a small hiatus and some cool things
What the Boss Likes – Dungeons and Dragons….and Pat Robertson making a fool of himself again
Good ol’ Pat is beating the drum about Dungeons and Dragons again and how this game has “literally destroyed people’s lives”. Ah, Pat, we can always count on you for a good lie for Jesus! I’m sure that Pat is feverishly pawing at his Chick tracts (absolutely ludicrous Christian tracts that tell a number of … Continue reading What the Boss Likes – Dungeons and Dragons….and Pat Robertson making a fool of himself again
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – It’s spring and the PA legislator lies are in bloom!
It’s that time of year again, when trees are blooming and legislators give a sop to their constituents, trying to make believe that their version of Christianity is the state religion of Pennsylvania and the US. Last year it was the nonsense about the “Year of the Bible”, which I posted about here, and here, … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – It’s spring and the PA legislator lies are in bloom!
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – a take on a couple of religious columns from the newspaper
Today we have two great columns from The God Squad (can you be a squad if you are only one guy?) and Billy Graham. The arguments are so poor in both that only together do they provide enough fodder for one post. Since I know I have quite a few Christians following my blog, I … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – a take on a couple of religious columns from the newspaper
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – We’re admittedly intolerant but please don’t call us bigots!
Recently, with the focus on gay marriage, we’ve heard a lot of theists claiming that they shouldn’t be considered bigots because they do not want to allow the same freedoms for everyone. One of these claims is in my local paper, an opinion piece by John Kass of the Chicago Tribune (the original at the … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – We’re admittedly intolerant but please don’t call us bigots!
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – that ol’ war on Easter
It's no surprise to anyone that there are a lot of Americans that are amazingly ignorant and very loud about it. Bill O'Reilly is one of the loudest. This time? Well, Bill has this to say "Easter is a good holiday, you don’t have to believe in Jesus…” Video here. This is a lovely sequel to … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – that ol’ war on Easter
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – How silly the Qu’ran is and a bonus photo of my cat
It seems like Mr. Rogers isn't coming back, though I do hope that isn't the case. This is unsuprising. The usual scenario is that the TrueChristiantm will convince himself that I didn't "really" want to discuss Christianity and he'll tell himself that I wasn't honest. That's a real two-fer in lying. First a cute … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – How silly the Qu’ran is and a bonus photo of my cat
