Are you familiar with the “Reddit” website? I wasn’t until this morning. Reddit is a social news website where users post links pages from the web and then discuss them, voting the posted links up or down. The more “up” votes, the more prominently the posted site is displayed on the Reddit homepage. Users can discuss the posted links and vote for or against other people’s comments. I guess it’s the web version of “Survivor” where you are always voting someone off.
The reason that I bring it up is that a blog I wrote two years ago is now #17 on Reddit! Someone evidently posted one of my entries, and its getting quite a lot of discussion. Well, the blog (“Parties for Prostitutes”) was mine but the content was a story from the introduction of Tony Compolo’s book The Kingdom of God is a Party. The book is from 1992, and I wrote the blog almost two years ago, but for some reason it is getting discussion now. Maybe people on the internet are finally running out of things to discuss?
Well, I’d better enjoy my web fame while I have it… I slipped to #18 while I was writing this. Ah, uneasy is the head that wears the crown.

Good blogging...
Prepare to be ridiculed...
Reddit is about as anti-christian as they come. Digg too.
I fear that people may be getting the wrong idea. Jesus told the prostitute to "go and sin no more." To follow Jesus you can be a prostitute, tax collector, or thief, but in following you must give those things up. There has to be repentance after the compassion.
Sorry to rain on the reddit parade.
Wow, you made the front page of Digg! As h-dog said, Digg tends to be against organized religion (my general thoughts too) and I read it daily. But I'm AMAZED at the positive reaction over there. Truly a first for Digg, LOL! So no, there is no rain on your parade over at Digg - enjoy the sunshine!
Now I'm off to check out the rest of your site...
It's ok. Let's people discuss about your blog, especially the people at Digg or Reddit. Spread the message that there is something different about religion. And the differents are in people who exercise his religion.
Keep spread the WORD, mate.
Greeting from Singapore.
Great to see you on Reddit and Digg Tuck!!
p.s. If you make Drudge, you better tell Ken to beef up your web server...
Sounds like good old frier Tuck is man of the hour. Go Tuck!
