Ben, the current Christian to visit these pages with his claims, has declared that he has evidence that Jesus Christ, the son of his god and the supposed savior of humankind existed. He has directed me to a series of guest posts on his blog that supposedly contain this evidence (this post will deal with … Continue reading Not Polite Dinner Conversation – Yep, just as I thought, nothing new as “evidence”

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Basic beliefs, Christians and atheists arguments aren’t that different
Here is the second part of the second part. This part is more about what “basic beliefs” are and how one argues against them. Ben doesn’t think Paul was forced to be a Christian and does acknowledge that other Christians will disagree. And again, we have Christians who can’t agree, can’t show that they are … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Basic beliefs, Christians and atheists arguments aren’t that different
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – “expectations” of evidence or how presupposition can really screw you up
The following is my response to Ben’s comment on the Part 2 part of my interactions with him. This was the one about the evidence that Christians apologists think they have for their god. We got a bit off topic in the comments but it’s worth a post on its own. My response has gotten … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – “expectations” of evidence or how presupposition can really screw you up
Not Polite Dinner Conversation – I’m free! and more on definitions of “god”
Since I’ve been out of the loop for a few days, I thought I’d do a whole post on the comments that have been offered in defense of theism, religion and Christianity that I haven’t addressed yet. Right now, I’m no longer among the ranks of the working for a while (had an interview for … Continue reading Not Polite Dinner Conversation – I’m free! and more on definitions of “god”
What the Boss Likes – a small hiatus and some cool things
Since I'm wrapping up my last two days of work at my current position, I'll be taking a little longer to answer replies. I should be back to normal (or a reasonable facsimile) shortly. A couple cool things. John Paulk, the posterboy for the lies about "ex-gay" therapy, has admitted that he's lied about being "ex-gay" … Continue reading What the Boss Likes – a small hiatus and some cool things
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – A bit about the term “respect”
One thing I see a lot of is that a lot of theists demand respect for their religion. What I think is happening is that a lot of theists think that respect means the same as politeness, consideration and tolerance. It doesn’t, at least not all of the time, or we wouldn’t need those other … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – A bit about the term “respect”
What the Boss Likes – Dungeons and Dragons….and Pat Robertson making a fool of himself again
Good ol’ Pat is beating the drum about Dungeons and Dragons again and how this game has “literally destroyed people’s lives”. Ah, Pat, we can always count on you for a good lie for Jesus! I’m sure that Pat is feverishly pawing at his Chick tracts (absolutely ludicrous Christian tracts that tell a number of … Continue reading What the Boss Likes – Dungeons and Dragons….and Pat Robertson making a fool of himself again
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – A new Christian apologist – Part 1 trying to show that the “supernatural” exists
The author of the blog I’ve been commenting on, Ben, has chosen not to post my last response. I offered to post it on my blog if he wished to respond to it and now it’s here! Ben has said that “I'm trying to set a tone[at his blog] that will be comfortable for family and … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – A new Christian apologist – Part 1 trying to show that the “supernatural” exists
What the Boss Likes – Darn, I’m late for Ask An Atheist day!
Apparently yesterday (April 18th) was Ask an Atheist Day. And apparently no one told a lot of atheists. 🙂 We are indeed a hard group to coordinate. So, in honor of completely missing this, if you'd like to ask *this* atheist any questions about atheism and, well, just about anything else, please do. If you … Continue reading What the Boss Likes – Darn, I’m late for Ask An Atheist day!
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – It’s spring and the PA legislator lies are in bloom!
It’s that time of year again, when trees are blooming and legislators give a sop to their constituents, trying to make believe that their version of Christianity is the state religion of Pennsylvania and the US. Last year it was the nonsense about the “Year of the Bible”, which I posted about here, and here, … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – It’s spring and the PA legislator lies are in bloom!
