Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – a selection of thoughts from the recent news

Just some various thoughts about religion, politics, etc. None were showing promise as a blog post on their own, but I found them interesting enough to gather together. ........... No idea what is going on with the Republican party or its candidates. Trump seems to be doing his best to get attention but to have … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – a selection of thoughts from the recent news →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation: lies told about Planned Parenthood, so does religion make you more moral?

The attacks on Planned Parenthood were started with a lie, continued with lies when the Christian organization, Center for Medical Progress (known to have lied before), intentionally tried to edit the videos to present people untruthfully, and have continued with the lies told by politicians who are too lazy or too biased to care about the truth. … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation: lies told about Planned Parenthood, so does religion make you more moral? →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – where we find more lies told by TrueChristians, in order to defame people….. Pity that the bible insists that lying is a sin

Not surprisingly, TrueChristians(tm)  are trying to destroy Planned Parenthood, an organization that helps many more women than any set of prayers. They need to lie to do so.  Not surprising at all.  And what god hates liars?  Oh yes, the Christian one.... To find the facts, and not Christian lies, you can go here:  http://www.factcheck.org/2015/07/unspinning-the-planned-parenthood-video/ … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – where we find more lies told by TrueChristians, in order to defame people…..

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – marriage and a lovely example of TrueChristian hysteria

Whoo-hoo, marriage for all!   I hope that everyone who chooses to get married is as happy as my husband and I. Rather than reviewing the SCOTUS decisions since others have done a better job than me, I found a typical opinion piece by one of the horrified TrueChristians, or as he puts it “orthodox Christians” … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – marriage and a lovely example of TrueChristian hysteria →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – my thoughts on “A History Of God”

Over on Hessian With Teeth’s blog, the authors have watched a documentary and asked for comments about it. The doc is “A History of God” based on the book by Karen Armstrong of the same name. Armstrong is a theist who wants to have her god but who doesn’t want the baggage it comes with. … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – my thoughts on “A History Of God” →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Schadenfreude, tasty, tasty schadenfreude

Considering the name I’ve taken for this blog, it’s no surprise that I enjoy watching people suffer by their reaping the results of their willfully ignorant choices and claims. I like to watch people who insist that they are so pious that no one can question their actions fail in their claims of divine perfection … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Schadenfreude, tasty, tasty schadenfreude →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – review of “Faith vs. Fact”; no pussyfooting allowed

I just finished Jerry Coyne’s new book “Faith vs. Fact”.   It was a great deal of fun to read, even though I know, and have used, most of the arguments in it. Dr. Coyne does an excellent job of stating a premise, carefully defining terms, and then proceeding to support it with evidence, likely a … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – review of “Faith vs. Fact”; no pussyfooting allowed →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – geology, poster style

I decided to do a riff on a webposter I saw on Mike's website here.   This is an amazing example of layers and cross-bedding, where the direction of the propelling force (in this case both wind and water) changed repeatedly over time, a lot longer than 40 days and 40 nights.  This webpage is a very … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – geology, poster style →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – follow those laws….or not

This week, there were a couple of fascinating columns from the usual theistic suspects, Rabbi Gellman and Billy Graham. Billy has a column on the “ten” commandments.   The querent asks why we should follow them now. Billy asks in return “which of them would you do away with if you could?” as a challenge, because … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – follow those laws….or not →
