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
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Congratulations, Ireland
I generally don’t blog about abortion rights. I find abortion to be a stupid thing to be used for birth control, but sometimes it’s the only option and it’s everyone’s right to control their own body and choose the healthcare that they want. Of course, some people don’t think that’s so. They think it is … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Congratulations, Ireland
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – a bit of nostalgia and still no effects from prayers by professionals
Way back in September 2014, I offered a challenge to a professional Christian and self-proclaimed prophet, Bill Keller. This was about the challenge he offered to a Muslim leader regarding that old testament contest in 1 Kings 18. Now during that interaction, I was promised that I would be prayed for. He of course ran away … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – a bit of nostalgia and still no effects from prayers by professionals
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – We ate that apple or did we?
Recently, I found a post on another blog about what Christians could learn from atheists. This was on a blog for self-described millennial Christians. It was an article written by John Garay, who has his own blog. It was an interesting post, with some honest compliments but most the usual claims of how “rebellious” atheists … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – We ate that apple or did we?
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Exodus redux
Lest anyone think that I have only issues with Christianity, here is the link to the first part of my Exodus series. I look at the strange story of the exodus in the bible. Passover is based on the idea of putting blood on doorways to avoid being killed by the angel of a supposedly … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Exodus redux
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – FFRF’s Blog “Easter fools, April Fools and Jesus’ pundits”
FFRF has done a good blog on the nonsense of Easter. I'm looking forward to the live broadcast of Jesus Christ Superstar on NBC tomorrow night. I love the music and it is a good story. It also is a great demonstration that the easter stories in the bible contradict each other quite a bit. … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – FFRF’s Blog “Easter fools, April Fools and Jesus’ pundits”
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – a lovely quote about followers of gods
"Of course, if one had played more RPGs, one would have realized that shacking up with people whose goal is "fulfill the ancient prophecies so that my dead god might rule once more over the earth, and cull those not among our cult" is rarely a good idea." - from some well spoken person on … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – a lovely quote about followers of gods
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – this year Easter is on April Fool’s Day
Hello, I've changed my wordpress theme for my blog since it was getting a little hard to read, even for me, with the grey on black. If it's a little too big for you, you can change your zoom on your web browser. I've done various posts about Easter over the years I've been blogging. … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – this year Easter is on April Fool’s Day
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – probability, evolution and theists
In a prior post, I went over how many Christians attack evolutionary theory without either knowing what it actually is, or willfully ignoring what it actually is. I pointed out that many Christians, including the pastor who wrote these things, try to make false claims about its supposed randomness, which he, and they, think is … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – probability, evolution and theists
