So this is a question that has come up more than once, usually when the political extremes are accusing me of not fitting into their mold. No, I don’t, sorry. As far as I’ve always been concerned, ‘conservative’ and ‘liberal’ are political stances, they have nothing at all to do with the bizarre ideologies that infest the far left and the far right. Being conservative has nothing inherently to do with being religious and vice versa. There are a lot of very liberal Christians out there, just like there are a lot of very conservative atheists like me.
So let’s look at it. Continue reading Am I a Conservative Anymore?
It’s really sad how many examples of this I can come up with, but Rationality Rules does it again. The video is linked below, it’s long, so you can watch it or not at your leisure, but it’s just one more place where you get a leftist who points at the Christian, accuses them of being wrong and then goes on to do the exact same thing on their own side.
So, another theist showed up on the channel and offered to debate, except over the course of a couple of responses, I backed him into a corner and, at least at the moment, it appears that he’s fled.
My mother died last night.

I’ve been on a long-term search for any Christian or other religious apologist worth a damn and so far, my search has come up empty. Occasionally, I’ll see some atheist YouTuber say “I really like this apologist”, but when I look at them, they’re every bit as bad as the rest.
I came across this video in my feed today and, once again, the fact that the far left and the far right are doing the exact same thing rears its ugly head. How these two groups can be so blinded by their own ideology as not to see it, I have no idea! 
Caught a clip over on Atheist Experience and figured I’d comment on it. I have no problem with the way that they handled it, but it was obvious from the beginning that it was a lost case and they still wasted 25 minutes talking to this idiot. This is exactly why the religious are so bone-headed.
So last night, we rushed our youngest daughter to the emergency room. Don’t worry, she’s fine. It was a gigantic exercise in futility anyhow and we wound up walking out because they were completely incompetent. That’s not the story though, because while we were there, I got to see two things going on.
