Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – when you just can’t good help these days

A rather extraordinarily deceitful anti-atheist organization, the rather derivatively named Freedom from Atheism Foundation, has been my current antagonist today. I got my holiday present as a lovely example of how incompetent and deceitful some theist can choose to be.  As often occurs, the topics are familiar.  If you are usually here to look at … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – when you just can’t good help these days →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – some agnostics and their curious arguments

As I've indicated on other posts, I occasionally search on the terms "atheist" and "atheism" on Wordpress's blogs.   Here I find a lot of posts by atheists, and also a lot by theists and agnostics too.

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – the usual idiocy in the US thanks to conservative Christians

Here in the US, we certainly do have a pile of idiots who voted for a moron and now we all get to suffer for it. This week, during the remembrance services for the first president Bush, we got to see just how ridiculous it is for Christians to follow a man who has no … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – the usual idiocy in the US thanks to conservative Christians →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation: why do they choose to make false claims? – next up, DP Monahan

Well, for a blog called “truth and tolerance”, DP doesn’t demonstrate either. I’ve seen this particular Christian around on other blogs.  He tries to be friendly to the atheists he contests with, but when you get him on his own blog, he has no problem in making a lot of false claims about others. It’s … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation: why do they choose to make false claims? – next up, DP Monahan →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – questions posed to an atheist

As I am wont to do, I was roaming about wordpress looking for silly claims about atheists by theists.  While chatting with his son about another blog post, I found this list of questions by a pastor that has his church not too far from where I grew up.    So I thought I'd give … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – questions posed to an atheist →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – various thoughts about religion and a God Squad bit of nonsense

For those who follow my blog for food, wine, etc.  these posts titled "not so polite dinner conversation" ain't that.  It's all about politics and religion.

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Happy Fourth of July! Hobby Lobby is at it again with their 2018 ad

Unsurprisingly, we have a hobby lobby july 2018 ad (happily saved for posterity here), the folks that want to force their religion on their employees (and you) and who have no problem in depending on people working on the “Sabbath” whilst ever-so piously closing their stores on the same day. The people living under authoritarian governments … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Happy Fourth of July! Hobby Lobby is at it again with their 2018 ad →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Yep, some Christians really are this desperate

As if you didn't think some American conservative Christians weren't crazy enough, we have this: "The question either infuriates or intrigues tens of millions of Americans: Did God play a role in the victory of Donald Trump? The debate will soon be presented in movie theaters across the country, as evangelical megaschool Liberty University is … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Yep, some Christians really are this desperate →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – two questions answered

In my last post, I wrote about abortion rights. I haven’t heard anything from any abortion opponents yet to answer my questions. However, I did note that the pastor I addressed has two questions for health choice advocates to answer on his blog. Unsuprisingly, Pastor Dave does not allow comments on his website. You can … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – two questions answered →
