This weekend I was at an holiday craft show with my art. Despite rather awful weather, standing in a puddle the first day and being wind-whipped the second, I did fairly well. It’s always a nice thing when people actually buy something you’ve made or even just compliment it. I hate to admit I do … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – talking to Christians, Christians talking to non-Christians etc

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – not so “clever” as a theist might think
A rather silly Christian had the below on their blog. This is a Christian who is also sure that essential oils do magic and that zyto scanning machines work. They work as well as the e-meter that Scientologists use to look at your alien ghosts that are attached to you aka not at all. The … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – not so “clever” as a theist might think
What the Boss Likes – a secular tour of Ken Ham’s Ark nonsense
This young gal does a fantastic job of ridiculing the lies that Ken Ham and creationists tell at the Ark "museum".
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Now Oranges are evidence of the conservative Christian god
Yep, thanks to Ray Comfort, oranges are evidence of his version of the Christian god: Of course no Christian can do miracles like Jesus Christ, Son of God. But heck, we should believe oranges are evidence of this god, just like bananas. Screw the amputees, screw the cancer patients, oranges are evidence of God. … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Now Oranges are evidence of the conservative Christian god
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – oh the arguments over imaginary friends
This blog is quite bemusing. Abrahamists are after each other on whose version of their god is right: https://bloggingtheology.com/2019/09/02/islam-jack-chick-and-the-battle-for-souls-your-best-life It does come down to "My imaginary god is the right one. No, mine is! Your holy book is contradictory. No, yours is." The blog is a great example of how theists use the same arguments … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – oh the arguments over imaginary friends
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation: Ray Comfort thinks he’s being clever again “Is God a Cruel Tyrant?”
Ray Comfort thinks he’s being clever again. He has an attempt to claim his god isn’t a “cruel tyrant”. My father used to hit me. He would daily leave my mother to raise us kids, and I once saw him kill a helpless animal with his bare hands. With that information you could understandably come … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation: Ray Comfort thinks he’s being clever again “Is God a Cruel Tyrant?”
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – when Christians lie about mental illness
Often a theist, usually a Christian, will claim that since they do no harm, why do I attack their claims. Well, this is why, when a Christian lies about mental health and mental illness. When their claims will harm someone. Ray Comfort and his cult now try to make claims about depression, something that many … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – when Christians lie about mental illness
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – where I show just how nerdy I am when it comes to magic and religion
And now for something completely different. I tinker at writing sword and sorcery fiction. The milieu allows for some interesting thoughts about how gods and magic and mortals interact. This is a snippet about how gods, religion and magic work out. The setting is a pair of classic D&D type characters (mage and thief) in … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – where I show just how nerdy I am when it comes to magic and religion
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – reducing a conservative Christian to incoherence
I think I may have broken our favorite unfunny Christian comedian, John Branyan: "I would consider the stopping of the earth's rotation as evidence you have a husband." Now, since no one ever claimed my spouse could stop the earth from rotating like the bible claims this god can stop the "sun" aka stop the … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – reducing a conservative Christian to incoherence
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Addressing Christian spam nonsense.
I felt like a long post today, sitting here in the air conditioning. If you've been reading my posts, you'll have seen most if not all of this before. Move on and watch part of one of my favorite cartoon movies Rock and Rule: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aR-Z92eXVoo Occasionally, my spam filter catches some lazy Christian spam. The … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Addressing Christian spam nonsense.
