What’s up with “A Reason for God”?

 

I made a post called “The Reason for God“, reviewing a book written by Timothy Keller. I didn’t think much of the post, and I don’t think there was anything all too brilliant about it. Granted, there were a few comments, but nothing major. For some reason though, this post has gotten a helluva lot of traffic:

In the months we’ve been blogging, this has been the most famous post of all time, not including the home page. It’s had 181 views (our home page has had 676), and even weirder, most of those views are recent. Compare it to the second most famous post of all time, “Why I am not a Christian.” This was a long post, pretty in depth, and had lots of comments. But it only received traffic for a small window of time – especially when Arkenaten reblogged it and I posted on Hakeem Muhammad. Check out it’s traffic, and compare:

 

What’s up with this? It doesn’t make any sense. Not that we’re complaining, but it’s weird. The amount of traffic it gets, going from 26 views in July to 63 views in October (and we’re only half done with this month) is a strange progression. Arkenaten, cducey, White Pearl, do you guys have any thoughts? I’ve looked through my search references and such, and I can’t find any clues to why this is going on. Perhaps it’s just that good of a post after all. Cheers.

I Won an Award!

A week ago I got an award from this awesome blogger called White Pearl. I recommend you check her blog out, it’s pretty cool.

To be honest, I have no idea why I got this award. I certainly don’t deserve it, and I met White Pearl and her blogging pals just a few days earlier. I even double checked the definition of “versatile” to make sure it meant something positive. Turns out, the word is neutral 😛

To accept the award, I have to answer some rather personal questions. I’d much rather write about government conspiracies, but I would like to show off what I received. These were the questions:

“

The most Embarrassing moment of your life :

The person you Love the most :

What quality makes you unique from the others :

The moment that proves you are naughty:

What is your favorite food :

                                                “

The most Embarrassing moment of your life: Well, for starters, I have no idea why Embarrassing is capitalized! That would be pretty Embarrassing if I did that 😛 To be honest, I have no idea. I once took our trashcan and carried it into the house instead of taking it to the sidewalk. I was pretty tired that day.

The person you Love the most : This depends on what you’re looking for. The smart ass answer? God. The sentimental answer? My family. The intellectual answer? Hamza Yusuf Hanson. The suck up answer? White Pearl. The sarcastic answer? Arkenaten. He makes me think, thank God!

What quality makes you unique from the others : Hmm. I once took a personality test called “Meyers-Briggs”. You can find it online everywhere. Of the 16 types, I got the rarest one. One percent of the population. INFJ. I can read people’s minds. Whatever that means.

The moment that proves you are naughty: I made someone cry while they were speaking on a public stage once. I won’t elaborate, but those were the days!

What is your favorite food : I am not particular. I can remember my grandmother’s chicken biryani (a South Asian rice dish) to be quite memorable. White Pearl can relate to this, I’ll bet. What I liked about it was that it wasn’t overloaded with spices and didn’t have an excess of flavors. Plain and simple, just like me I suppose.

Well, enough with the sentiment. Tomorrow I’ll rage on the media. That is easier to do. I’d like to thank White Pearl again for her completely unnecessary award.

Here’s to blogging!
