God blogs

By this title I mean blogs about god - not the musings of the omnipotent (though that would probably attract quite a large audience).

Have any of my readers ever used the 'next blog' button at the top of the blogger screen? It can be an interesting distraction to click it a few times to see what other people do with their blogs. There's a lot of crap out there, but I have found the occasional gem.

Recently whenever I have tried this trick this has led me to a sequence of god blogs (almost universally American) - written by people who evaluate their whole lives through the actions of a potentially mythical omnipotent being. I don't want to make any comment on the content of these blogs - but am curious as to whether there is an algebraic formula by which blogspot thinks I might be interested in how Patch the dog's recovery was somehow faciliated by the force of a prayer to a higher power - or whether christians have organised a subtle coup de web which puts their blogs on the high ranking listings. Click that button now and pray it ain't so.
