God Bloggers
Guess it was an event ready to happen, like politics and news.

It seems in its infancy but even with all the religious groups hammering their
concepts on the internet, it seems likely God blogging will take off in
appeal just as political blogging did.
But how will it appear to the curious that don't focus, looking at the whole
scene, rather than for reinforcement of their beliefs?

Is it really anything more then an extension of the alleged "Internet Community"? First there were chatrooms of people with like minded activities and then web sites and now it moved on to bloggers. I suspect that blogs will move in the realm of sports, recreation, etc soon enough. And, frankly, most will boring as heck.

Looking at my sig, you can tell that I use the Xanga blogs. I see a lot of blogs there aimed at promoting God and Christianity... like GB said it's a part of the whole concept of the Internet. Now that blogs have become The Next Big Thing, people are going to start using their blogs like that. It shouldn't really be a surprise.

I took the 3rd option.

A troll is a troll. Religious or otherwise.

Now, if you are talking about someone who is willing to be actively engaged in debate, that is a different story.

But if you are referring to (and I think you are) someone who drops in and plants a paste job and leaves, I would agree with you fully.
They, IMO, are no better or worse than any other troll.

You're right, Stoner ! It becomes more and more difficult to find a godless thread in the whole 'blogosphere' for a 'do not care about god' like me.
