If it hasn’t started already, we can expect much wailing and gnashing of teeth. Predictions of “Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together, mass hysteria”. All because the prayers of so many TrueChristians have not been heeded by a imaginary deity and they did not get their way. In case you haven’t heard, the Supreme … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Cue wailing, gnashing of teeth

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Atheists are citizens too, thanks to FFRF help
The Freedom From Religion Foundation (of which I am proudly a member) has helped a woman in her efforts to become an American citizen. Margaret Doughty was pursuing citizenship through naturalization. She hit a roadblock when the US immigration service tried to claim that she needed to join a church, no other religion was mentioned and she … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Atheists are citizens too, thanks to FFRF help
Not Polite Dinner Conversation – On the front of forcing personal religion onto others, we have a couple of stories in the news
A political figure has cracked down on alcohol consumption and the media. A political figure has decided that he and he alone will determine if a woman can have an abortion paid for by Medicaid, a man who has no medical education at all and who will be deciding based on his personal opinion. More … Continue reading Not Polite Dinner Conversation – On the front of forcing personal religion onto others, we have a couple of stories in the news
What the Boss Likes – putting it in perspective
A rather complex series of images that show just how silly religion is courtesy of various folks' tumblr accounts: http://applepiesfromscratch.tumblr.com/post/49363632963/fight-the-power-happy-national-masturbation Yep, out of a whole universe we get a deity that is terribly concerned with masturbation and appearing on toast....
Not Polite Dinner Conversation – Pulpit Freedom Sunday is back and I’m glad!
This coming Sunday is “Pulpit Freedom Sunday” where some Christians have decreed a day where they can speak their minds about various issues from the pulpit and thus from a position of authority. And indeed, I am glad that they have made it so easy to watch just how Christians don’t agree on much of … Continue reading Not Polite Dinner Conversation – Pulpit Freedom Sunday is back and I’m glad!
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Prayers have failed: Bachmann is out and our own local wannabee theocrat, plus the Pope
Seeing Michele Bachmann deliberately lying on TV makes me feel all warm and cozy inside. Few things should do more to show how religion doesn't make a person a decent, humane, human being, and it sure doesn’t keep them from breaking every rule in their very own religion. Like so many politicians who get caught … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Prayers have failed: Bachmann is out and our own local wannabee theocrat, plus the Pope
Not So Pleasant Dinner Conversation – Juries, etc (Postzilla) part 2
Rather than having one mega post, here is part 2 of the post about juries, etc. Part one is here. I have said that there are only stories that Paul existed as claimed. That includes his supposed conversion. I can also say that there are only stories that Simon Magus flew around since that also … Continue reading Not So Pleasant Dinner Conversation – Juries, etc (Postzilla) part 2
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Juries, sources and what the gospels has to say about 500 witnsses among other things (aka Postzilla part 1)
this post has been split into two parts. part 2 can be found here.) Sorry for the hiatus on the blog, everyone. I thought I might address one of the comments on one of the other blog entries since there are some interesting claims by a Christian apologist and a blog entry is more … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Juries, sources and what the gospels has to say about 500 witnsses among other things (aka Postzilla part 1)
Not Polite Dinner Conversation – That “evidence” including the best one “sincere believers”
The next post by Silverswiper (SS) on Ben’s blog are even worse claims of “evidence” than the first two. All of these seem to come from an inability to think like someone who isn’t a Christian. SS also goes right to WLC’s claims despite claiming he is not using them. The first two claims of evidence … Continue reading Not Polite Dinner Conversation – That “evidence” including the best one “sincere believers”
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – More intentional lies from TrueChristians who are also state legislators here in Pennsylvania, also known as “nothing is new”
Being the excellent examples of how religion makes no one a better person, we now have Pennsylvania legislators introducing yet another useless House Resolution full of intentional lies in their continued attempts to play pretend that their version of Christianity is the state religion of the United States. This resolution is HR 306 and unsurprisingly, … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – More intentional lies from TrueChristians who are also state legislators here in Pennsylvania, also known as “nothing is new”
