It attracted my attention, just because I can write loads in response to it. If I were religious, I would want to put my view forward, and as I'm not, I could explain my reasons - or perhaps just put a short comment there. Either way, it is a compelling subject.

This should apply to blog comments as well. Some people like to write a blog response to Penelope's blog which can be long winded & often times it looks even worse because it is 15 sentences but only one paragraph. In reponse to Brandon's crackback (note I started a new paragraph John) I agree that some of your posts digress into too many diffent directions & lose focus but some of these digressions open up whole new interesting topics. Sometimes I could do without certain details (shaving in the nether regions, frequency of oral, etc.) but other times it is interesting so I can't really ask you to reign it in too much.

I'm notorious for writing essays as emails and then wondering why nobody ever writes back. Or when they do, it's like "Ok." or "Will call later...". I'll just stop being so long-winded now. lol.
