God! Politics! Christians! Money!

OK, here's the deal. The longest thread on my blog runs to a total of nine comments, and I think two of them were mine. That's just unacceptable. However, I've noticed that when Greg Kendall-Ball and Mike Cope post anything about God and politics or about Christians and wealth, the resulting threads run to 100+ comments. Although reading those long threads wears me out--and honestly if the original thoughts contained therein were converted to hair, you couldn't make a wig for a grape--the point here is about amassing sheer numbers of comments to my blog. So, please reread the headline of this post, and let's get ready to rumble!

A slightly more serious afterthought: could it be that these topics generate so much heated discussion because they are sore points about which we feel threatened by the radical claims of the gospel? Just asking.
