- Go to This blog belongs at number one!
FineYoungSinger - you are being too kind
Again, I feel compelled to say that when I make statements such as "this blog should be number one", I am doing it tongue in cheek. As for challenging people to examine what they believe, we can only hope that things we put to print in a forum such as this plants some seeds of food for thought. That is probably the full extent of influence our blogs have over others.

"Number One?"
You betcha, this one belongs there. Even over mine---mine is just creative regurgitation of what most Christians should already know. I'm merely representing.
You, however, are challenging---challenging believers to consider how their actions, even the small one, oppose what they claim to believe; challenging believers to not just take what they believe at face-value, but to dive in and really examine what they believe, why they believe it.

Bhaskar.ing - that's very kind of you to say but I hope you know that I
make proclamations of this blog deserving to be number one in a tongue in cheek manner.

"Does this blog belong at number one in the religion and spirituality category?" Yes, Sir, it certainly does. I have seen your's at # 1 for most of the period since I came here in July 2007.

This blog should be number 2 here - kooka_lives - that's the spirit
I've found that a good collection of enemies and friends propels a blog upwards and keeps it there for some time. The enemies do all of the blog promotional work, the friends maintain it afterwards and make it palatable when counterbalanced against some of the drivel we endure from our enemies.

This blog should be number 2 here
Way back when I was the number one in this category and I was there for long periods of time. And that is where I belong. I'll get there again I'm sure. After all it looks like I may have made a new enemy tonight, and somehow it seems the more enemies you have here, the better you Blogs do.
I've never fully understood that. I guess it all has to do with controversy. If you can get a good, heated exchange going in your comments section, people will keep coming back to see where it all ends up going.
When I get back to number one, I hope to see you right there in the number 2 spot, where you belong.

sannhet - it's not really a goal, it's more a case of when my blog drifts
upwards for whatever reason, I like to mention it tongue in cheek to garner a few clicks.
I know, I know, I'm shameless . . . I admit it freely.
