If you’ve frequented various blogs, especially and ironically the freethought blogs it seems, you will have seen an ad that claims that there are 6 reasons to believe in God at a website called everystudent.com.

Not so polite dinner conversation – When all you have are lies
If you tell a lie and tell it intentionally and repeatedly, what does that say about you?

We have “The Boy Who Cried Wolf” as being one of … Continue reading Not so polite dinner conversation – When all you have are lies
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Destroying what you don’t like
Unsuprisingly, Pat Robertson has advocated for the destruction of religious images that are not his own. In a recent bit on his television show, he advises a "good Christian" to destroy the statue of Buddah that her friend has. Now, where have we seen such destruction advocated before?

The Reason Rally is tomorrow. Yep, the weather may well suck, but it doesn’t matter (and heck the farmers need the rain. Since I need them who am I to bitch?). I’m relatively close by, and people need to see that atheists, agnostics, free thinkers, etc, are willing to stand up to be counted.

Not so polite dinner conversation – Saccone is at it again
As one can see from my post below, I have little patience for Pennsylvanialegislators wasting time lying about how “Christian” the US is. Representative Saccone saw fit to be “shocked, shocked” that anyone took issue with his bill, and made even more poor arguments. You can see his further claims that were published here and … Continue reading Not so polite dinner conversation – Saccone is at it again
