I've been chatting with a pastor here. It's about free will and this is a good succinct discussion showing how free will fails pretty quickly for Christians. I'm expecting this all to vanish on his blog. Here's how things have been going (the pastor's quotes are in italics): "exactly how is it just to kill … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – free will not working out well

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – churches got covid bailout money showing that they are no more than frauds
Unsurprisingly, Christians lined up to get covid money for their churches. The Friendly Atheist has a good article on it here. Now, it'll be interesting to see if one sect will whine about the others that they hate getting money. I'm guessing other religions also got the same money, so it'll also be interesting if … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – churches got covid bailout money showing that they are no more than frauds
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – I think this bizarre Christian claim deserves a post of its own
My adversary on Kaleidoscope has come out with this curious thing as an answer to my comment "It is, of course, no surprise at all that our author here won’t answer these questions either: “For some reason this god wanted to keep humans ignorant of what good and evil are. Why? Your god wanted Hitler … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – I think this bizarre Christian claim deserves a post of its own
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – the continued failure of apologetics
I follow this particular Christian's blog, The Kaleidoscope of Culture, which is a rather curious mix of apologetics and other things. The author does occasionally write a reply to my comments but he consistently never actually replies to me in the comments, only putting his response in a separate comment. Thus, his replies go unanswered … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – the continued failure of apologetics
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – some research that I didn’t want to go to waste re: Christianity and Nazism
since this research took a little time, no reason to waste it since the Christian I was replying to has prevented comments that show him wrong from showing on his blog. As usual, this Christian, Michael, ignores what he doesn’t want to admit to, and resorts to false claims to defend his need to invent … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – some research that I didn’t want to go to waste re: Christianity and Nazism
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Christian prayers don’t work again, news at at 11

Large majorities of Americans who pray daily (86%) and of U.S. Christians (73%) have taken to prayer during the outbreak – but … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Christian prayers don’t work again, news at at 11
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – My chat with Ray Comfort transcripted
After some personal uncomfortableness on my part, listening to my own voice, I have transcripted my chat with Ray Comfort that was recorded by Ray and a copy given to me for my use. Here is the transcript, since I personally really hate to listen to talking heads. I read much faster than that, … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – My chat with Ray Comfort transcripted
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – when a Christians doesn’t think things through….again
"I’ve noticed that Atheists like to play the “prove it” game. They use this game to shift the burden of spiritual responsibility to God off of themselves, trying to replace it with a burden of proof for the Christian. " This bit of nonsense came from this blog. Christians often don't think their arguments … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – when a Christians doesn’t think things through….again
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – A Pew Research Study “Half of Americans say Bible should influence U.S. laws, including 28% who favor it over the will of the people”
The Pew Research Center has a new study out about religion: "Half of Americans say Bible should influence U.S. laws, including 28% who favor it over the will of the people" "The U.S. Constitution does not mention the Bible, God, Jesus or Christianity, and the First Amendment clarifies that “Congress shall make no law respecting … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – A Pew Research Study “Half of Americans say Bible should influence U.S. laws, including 28% who favor it over the will of the people”
