Everybody does it about this time of year, don\u2019t they? Look back through the year and take stock; look forward to the new year and anticipate, I mean.<\/p>\n

I thought I\u2019d look back over the year of blogging and note my most commented posts. It might be instructive concerning the things that interest me which also interest a generally fundamentalist oriented reading audience. It might also serve for us to consider the issues facing us in the coming year.<\/p>\n

The numbers of comments following these posts may be somewhat surprising. Some may think my numbers are kind of low. This is a function of several factors.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. My readership isn\u2019t huge, although it has picked up considerably at the end of the year (largely due to SI linking on some controversial posts). <\/li>\n
  2. Most blog chatter is generated by the most passionate few, there are many more readers than commenters. <\/li>\n
  3. Blog commentary does have a way of wearing itself out after the arguments have been beaten to death ad infinitum, ad nauseum<\/em>. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    With all those caveats in place, I\u2019ll start with the list of most commented posts (in reverse order of posting):<\/p>\n
