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

What the Boss Likes – More hate mail readings, this time hate mail to the Military Religious Freedom Foundation
This is absolutely hilarious, perhaps even funnier and more VILE and TrueChristian than the hate mail readings for the FFRF: http://www.militaryreligiousfreedom.org/2013/07/mrff-hate-mail-readings-chapter-1-of-more-to-come/ It is very much NOT SAFE FOR WORK or anyone who doesn't have cast iron ears. Parents, you are warned! Always good to have TrueChristians wishing "extremely painful rectal cancer" on others. 🙂 Gee, … Continue reading What the Boss Likes – More hate mail readings, this time hate mail to the Military Religious Freedom Foundation
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – The seasonal blooming of creationism, it’s school time!
The school year is about to start in Pennsylvania and of course the creationists are in bloom. How appropriate that our current wannabee theocrat is named Rep. Stephen Bloom, a state representative who wants his religion’s creation story taught as science (here’s his website, and it has an auto play ad on it thanks to … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – The seasonal blooming of creationism, it’s school time!
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – So, if I agree to a possible historical Jesus, then what?
In the interminable comments on some of my blog posts, we have been hashing out the idea of a historical Jesus. I prefer the mythicist approach (basically 'religious telephone' as per the cartoon, but with various guys) but Christians are trying every so hard to get me to agree that Jesus was historical. Why, I have no idea … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – So, if I agree to a possible historical Jesus, then what?
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – troopies, welcome Derek, a seminarian who is braving the leopard’s den
Back near Easter, I had a youngish Christian wanting to try out apologetics on me. He's back and I'm very pleased that he did return. It's not a easy thing to debate religion with an atheist, and one as aggressive as I am. You can see his post attempting to refute my post about easter … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – troopies, welcome Derek, a seminarian who is braving the leopard’s den
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Part 2, The lie of “think of the children” Pennsylvania style
Part 1 here. A rather pathetic example of one of those Christians who want to pretend their personal beliefs should be made law is a recent op-ed “Defend marriage, for the kids' sake” (yep, he went there) It was written by Brian McGinley of the Pennsylvania Family Institute, another one of those organizations that … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Part 2, The lie of “think of the children” Pennsylvania style
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Bravo for Pennsylvania AG Kane, Part 1
“We are surprised that the attorney general, contrary to her constitutional duty under the Commonwealth Attorneys Act, has decided not to defend a Pennsylvania statute lawfully enacted by the General Assembly, merely because of her personal beliefs.” – James Schultz, Pennsylvania general counsel It’s so cute when the irony escapes people like Mr. Schultz, Gov. … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Bravo for Pennsylvania AG Kane, Part 1
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – the Kalam Cosmological Argument, part 2
As I mentioned on the first part of this post, the one thing that the KCA *must* have is an unquestionable beginning to the universe. At the moment, we don’t know if that is the case or not. We have new hypotheses, cyclic universes, brane theory, etc. These may be accurate, partially accurate or really … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – the Kalam Cosmological Argument, part 2
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – the Kalam Cosmological Argument, part 1
For the last few weeks I have been debating with a Christian about the kalam cosmological argument (KCA). This is the philosophical argument that says: Everything that has a beginning of its existence has a cause of its existence; The universe has a beginning of its existence; Therefore: The universe has a cause of its … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – the Kalam Cosmological Argument, part 1
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Free speech here in PA restricted because God will be offended. Yep, Metcalfe is at it again.
Well, there are more amazing attempt to make Pennsylvania a theocracy. Thanks to a friend of mine bringing this to my attention, we now can report on Christians wanting to block free speech because their god will feel bad. Not much of a god if us puny humans can bother a supposedly omniscient, omnipotent and … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Free speech here in PA restricted because God will be offended. Yep, Metcalfe is at it again.
