Here’s a post about random things. Opinions about food, religion, politics etc are freely mixed. I’ve a new follower “God’s Geological and Math Signs”. Oh my, this person’s website is utterly hilarious. For a religion that is supposedly followed by faith and no evidence needed (as told to me repeatedly by various Christians), this individual … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation– a festive blend of opinions on food, politics, religion….

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – happy ridiculous holiday weekend!
I've done quite a few posts on just how silly Passover and Easter are. My exodus series can be begun here. Here is a main post on easter. I'm sure you can find more just by searching over here in the upper right hand corner search box. Conservative Christian antics about easter is here in … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – happy ridiculous holiday weekend!
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Moving the goalposts, prayer as a weapon, ignoring questions and the usual theist nonsense
Well, I finally have some time to write a blog post. Between work, and painting, and simply being disgusted with the world, I put this off. I did do a couple of craft shows with my alcohol ink paintings and I sold one thing on Etsy. Made back my entrance fee and then some, so … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Moving the goalposts, prayer as a weapon, ignoring questions and the usual theist nonsense
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation: An article “Complex societies gave birth to big gods, not the other way around: study”
from an article on phys.org (one of my favorite science article compiling sites) "An international research team, including a member of the Complexity Science Hub Vienna, investigated the role of "big gods" in the rise of complex large-scale societies. Big gods are defined as moralizing deities who punish ethical transgressions. Contrary to prevailing theories, the … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation: An article “Complex societies gave birth to big gods, not the other way around: study”
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Anti-Israel isn’t anti-Semitic
While I’m still dealing with influenza (I always forget just how horrible it makes you feel (and to see why you do feel horrible see here)) , I thought I’d do a post about the current religious nonsense here in the US. We have conservative Christians having a tizzy that a US representative criticizes the … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Anti-Israel isn’t anti-Semitic
What the Boss Likes – welcome a most unusual looking follower of this website
Let us all welcome "The Majesty's Men", a Christian website that seems be, well, interesting. This is from their gravatar page. Their website hasn't been verified by ICANN yet. They do have quite a nice logo, if rather a bit over the top, something like I'd expect in a Dan Brown novel or perhaps on … Continue reading What the Boss Likes – welcome a most unusual looking follower of this website
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – a handful of quick dismantlements of common theist claims
This was bouncing around in my head while I couldn’t sleep last night. The claim that atheists *must* be nihilists or aren’t being atheists “correctly” – this fails since “dude”, and WLC (William Lane Craig, a very inept conservative Christian apologist and philosopher), have yet to show that subjective morality or meaning in life is … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – a handful of quick dismantlements of common theist claims
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – And we still haven’t heard a “clear logical defense of Christianity”
(as always, if you follow me for food, wine and art posts, you may want to skip this post. Any “not polite dinner conversation” posts are about politics and religion) I haven’t poked fun at Christian attacking their fellows as being wrong in a while. It’s such a good way to know that Christianity is … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – And we still haven’t heard a “clear logical defense of Christianity”
What the boss likes: and then that bit from Disney’s Hunchback of Notre Dame. No, it isn’t flattering to Christians at all
not at all. and this isn't strange at all to anyone who has had to deal with a conservative Christian.
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation: More TrueChristians™ acting like idiots, and a painting
This has been a week for me running into all sorts of TrueChristians™. They certainly do run the gamut of being just thoroughly unpleasant people. I frequently kibbitz on the Washington Post facebook page (and at the WaPo site itself). I also comment on ThinkProgress’s facebook page. I’m Jane R@venswood there, an old email address … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation: More TrueChristians™ acting like idiots, and a painting
