Welcome to the MacNN Forums.

rogermugs · Jul 25, 2008, 01:27 AM

so hey. first of all I need to say a big thanks to all ya'll who have helped me in many suggestions along the way (related to my own blog and forum etc... design and content and all).

in my anxiousness to always try new things/grow community...
I decided to make a place where people could blog together (a group blog) about theology, the bible, or anything related to the christian life.
I wont be joining in, I'm just facilitating setting it up, but i think there are a lot of folks out there who are interested in blogging, and either intimidated to set one of their own up, or dont have enough time to write daily. This is for you.
i've set it up, and I'm just wanting people to write...

if you're interested then the details are here:

many.theologer.com

or you can drop a line in this thread and let me know you're interested (and I can PM you the details)
cool?

if this isn't clear let me know.

i may even be interested in one or two agnostics who would be willing to write about their life as agnostics and how their belief set impacts their daily walk. hmm...

he's probably hosting a wrestling match right now, but I think there's a Christian blogger here somewhere.

Randman · Jul 25, 2008, 01:46 AM

why do you not use capitalizations? if you write like that post, i'd be surprised if people would jump at the chance to read your blog.

red rocket · Jul 25, 2008, 03:49 AM

First of all, this is spam.

Secondly, religious topics belong in the Political/War lounge.

Rumor · Jul 25, 2008, 03:51 AM

He has been getting assistance here since the inception of his site.

Secondly, this isn't really a religious topic. While the site he refers to is about theology, this thread isn't meant to incite combative discussion.

Lay off him a bit, he is just looking for help.

So I suppose it would be equally acceptable for other people to advertise their own cultist websites by starting ‘looking for fundamentalist islamist bloggers’, ‘looking for jewish bloggers’, ‘looking for scientologist bloggers’, ‘looking for satanist bloggers’ etc. threads in here, would it?

Rumor · Jul 25, 2008, 04:22 AM

Did you finish reading his post before you knee jerked?

first of all, its awesome that you didn't use any caps when you complained about me doing it... I do occasionally capitize things on my blog... but if you read this post you'll see that i'm not going to be writing for this blog, just looking for others who will... I just set it up, beyond that i'll have little to nothing to do with it.

also, i didn't use caps because this is a forum, and i'm informally asking for help with it... the post itself that has more details is prettier... and finally... who cares about stinking CAPS? THEY ANNOY EVERYONE WHEN YOU USE THEM IN EXCESS.

its true what rumor said, I've been in here a bunch asking for advice all along... this time its not even going to be my blog, but other peoples... you know, those who take up the idea... but whatev.
i'll go start a thread in the war lounge that outta make you happy...

Looking for Fundamentalist Islamist bloggers (ITS ALL FOR YOU!)
enjoy.

Apemanblues · Jul 25, 2008, 05:54 AM

Christian Bloggers? Never heard of him.

However, I am looking for Cthulhu bloggers if there are any out there. Or any of The Great Old Ones who lived ages before there were any men and who came to the young world out of the sky will do just fine

Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn and all that.

I was being sarcastic. Personally, I would not go to a site where lack of basics such as proper punctuation were not used, or at least aimed for.

Lazy writing habits usually means lazy writing.

When you type in all caps, it is annoying. But it's also annoying when none are used. There's nothing ever wrong with writing properly.

Anyways, if you are promoting a site, I'm not sure being lazy and then argumentative is the way to attract people. Good luck though.

it's also a good way to keep the pedants at bay.

Someone call my name? I was busy with the Spam King.

Oh, and remember folks:

Cthulhu saves!
In case he's hungry later.

Spam is good with pineapple.

@pplejaxkz · Jul 28, 2008, 01:50 AM

I'd post, but I don't have a religious bone in my body. It's all just magic to me.

rogermugs · Jul 29, 2008, 04:57 AM

always interesting...
i guess i want people at least a few religious bones... hmmm...

lexapro · Jul 29, 2008, 05:42 AM

you might be looking for christian bloggers, but i am not

Jawbone54 · Jul 29, 2008, 11:37 AM

I'm a student pastor "Christian blogger," but my blog covers, um....a lot.

I've got too much on my plate as it is, and I'm not entirely sure that I'm the kind of guy you're looking for, anyways.

I might be, but my comfort-machine is down for the count. As soon as I can procure a new Mac Pro, I might be up to the task. Can't do anything on my wife's powerbook. NOTHING! $$%# tiny keyboard, no tactile feedback, small screen, folders and files and pics littered about with no rhyme or reason...

Maflynn · Jul 29, 2008, 08:45 PM

I'm a frequent contributor over on Roger's forum and trying to get my blog more or less off the ground. I may jump in and write an article but for the most part I'm fairly busy myself.

rogermugs · Jul 31, 2008, 09:03 AM

yea... maflynn I gave you that award and I haven't seen you post anything about it... those kinds of things might help get you off the ground...

but for any of you who are interested... just follow the instructions... and submit your sample dealios... i'm still looking for folk... a few have agreed to write but haven't started yet...
