Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – modern medicine would have helped – religious parents who harm and kill their kids (alas, again)

"Mariah Walton’s voice is quiet – her lungs have been wrecked by her illness, and her respirator doesn’t help. But her tone is resolute. “Yes, I would like to see my parents prosecuted.” Why? “They deserve it.” She pauses. “And it might stop others.” Mariah is 20 but she’s frail and permanently disabled. She has … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – modern medicine would have helped – religious parents who harm and kill their kids (alas, again)

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Here we go again in PA, TrueChristians hiding behind nationalism

In their ritual of showing off how virtuous they are, some PA representatives are trying to again force their version of their religion on others in HB 1640, aka "National Motto Display Act".  The sponsoring representative is Chris Dush (such a name, miserable to grow up with and certainly appropriate now).   The rest of the … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Here we go again in PA, TrueChristians hiding behind nationalism

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – yep, one more abuse scandal – here in PA

Unsurprisingly, we have yet ONE MORE investigation that shows that the Roman Catholic Church has aided and abetted the rape and abuse of children. This is now in the diocese about an hour’s drive from the state capitol Harrisburg. There are many excuses given for the church, that it isn’t at fault. The church has … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – yep, one more abuse scandal – here in PA

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation: an excellent essay on why a new atheist has come to the correct conclusion, written by a TrueChristian

A Christian that I have had a chance to cross swords with, Lyle Duell, has written one of the best essays on why a new atheist has made the right decision.  This is, of course, rather inadvertently on his part, or at least I suspect so.  Once upon a time, one could comment on Mr. … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation: an excellent essay on why a new atheist has come to the correct conclusion, written by a TrueChristian

Not So Polite Conversation – when deities have a hard time of it

The Christian god has had a rough couple of weeks in here in the US. Its hand picked candidates who were told that they would win the presidency have dropped out, leaving more handpicked ones behind. Santorum, Huckabee, Fiorina, etc were such fantastic examples of lying Christians, I’m sorry to see them leave. And, then, … Continue reading Not So Polite Conversation – when deities have a hard time of it

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – ’tis the season

The “war on Christmas” has arisen once again. One would think that the TrueChristians™ here in the States would just stop, because every year, there is nothing accomplished but making themselves look like complete idiots. Schadenfreude is always great when someone causes their own problems. Take the Starbucks nonsense for instance… Happily many Christians have … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – ’tis the season

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation: hmmm, who is lying here?

well, now we have the TrueChristian(tm) Kim Davis and the TrueChristian(tm) Pope Francis and their stories don't quite match. Now, who is to be believed? Update:  How interesting, the pope met with a gay couple before he met Davis. Hmmm. and more curious, some possible machinations and conspiracies with an arch bishop in the crosshairs.

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

What the Boss Likes – I stand with Ahmed too

Unsurprisingly, we have idiots in the US, who were so afraid of a clock, they arrested a young man, Ahmed Mohamed.  This was in Texas, surprise! President Obama has invited this young inventor to the White House, which of course will get the usual suspects sure that the US president is a "really" a Muslim. … Continue reading What the Boss Likes – I stand with Ahmed too

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – pure hypocrisy

It's no surprise at all that the woman who is doing her best to force her religion on others in Kentucky is a complete hypocrite.  Married many times, having children out of wedlock, and surprise, not considering anyone else as sinful when giving out marriage licenses to other divorcees, and evidently a couple, one of … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – pure hypocrisy
