Looking at some Christian blogs


The Boar's Head Tavern. This blog/forum was a casual habit for most of its visitors, usually at the end of hitting every channel on the internet remote. Then they went and changed their look, so now the site crashes in I.E., and the text - dark grey on darker grey - is a bit annoying, which means traffic has fallen off a cliff. It's owner's favorite contributor, Pirate, is now writing at ReformedCatholicism.com (exposing why the iMonk liked him so much to begin with), a blog where they tell you to read Schaff's History of the Church if you want to understand the Faith.

Pyromaniacs. This blog has fallen on hard times as well. It got a bit devastated by the crash of dispensationalism occasioned by the blog owner's boss appearing at a well-attended conference, scratching his wrists and talking about Jewish "DNA."

Triablogue. This blog lost its readership about two years ago when it posted no less than 6 posts in succession each of 60 or more pages in length. One of the posts was 93 pages long. What has to be going on in a person's mind to spend the effort to write a blog post that is 93 pages long? It guarantees it will be read by exactly zero people for one thing, and on that blog it gets lost in the archives after about three hours. Well, all in a day's work.

ReformedCatholicism.com. This blog is evidence that people like to read blogs that have people who make you feel more intelligent. Like, "What are these numbskulls up to lately?"

Alpha and Omega Ministries. James White's blog. Currently Doug Wilson is making James White look like, well...James White. As Wilson deftly takes on atheists the world over (Harris, Dawkins, Hitchins) White can only stand to the side and wonder what it would be like to be able to make a Wodehouse reference in an opening remark. I mean, even just a Wodehouse reference. Or to have some understanding of human nature; some understanding of the world and himself. Rather than being stuck at the level of a giggling, apple-polishing, self-focused highschool debate club champion of all time.

Whilin' Away the Hours. Yes, heresy will always get you attention. But it's like porn, your audience will demand more and more corruption and decadence until...you have nothing left to offer, and you get boring.

Plain Path Puritan. Just read the Bible complete, pilgrims. That's what makes real Christians. Christians who are able to be on-the-mark with the faith. And read the pure and whole Traditional Text Word of God (in English, AV1611), not the devil and man-corrupted modern versions based on the devil's and the Vatican's corrupt manuscripts. The reformers knew of those manuscripts, pilgrims. They weren't called Westcott and Hort or Critical Text back then, they were simply known as Roman Catholic corruptions of God's Word.

Don't knock DNA arguments. One good argument against Mormonism is that American Indians are genetically closer related to Asians rather than Jews, proving Joseph Smith was a false prophet.
Not that I found Johnny Mac's presentation particularly convincing.

One thing about Jews and DNA is the problem of, for instance, the mass conversion of Khazars. Anyway, race and 'jews' is problematic in about 6 times 6 different ways. And dispensationalism of course is nonsense.
