Definitely something for church members to be aware. But overall, regardless of what human institution or group of people one examines, one will find this sort of natural human tendency to stick with what is familiar, which thereby creates "cliques" or groups of like-minded individuals. This concept shouldn't necessarily be carried over into the virtual world by way of "next blog" buttons, but no doubt this concept increases user traffic.<br /><br />PMAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4068123822395678541.post-38595878442870998162010-08-11T21:02:34.841-06:002010-08-11T21:02:34.841-06:00Hi,

My next blogs have been quite random (the one previous to yours was discussing back pain and a wary trip to the chiropractor) so I'm not sure what they're keying on with me. Good for you for not wanting to be in an echo chamber. How would we learn anything if we all think the same way.Ginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10648421612457536626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4068123822395678541.post-27258234705061520662010-08-10T22:11:08.991-06:002010-08-10T22:11:08.991-06:00I am one of those who happened to come across your...I am one of those who happened to come across your blog via "Next Blog" to see who else is out there. I am also one of those who refuses to conform to the majority so sorry Anonymous, I will never conform to think the same as others. However, isn't this also the whole point of being a believer in Christ so that we are to conform to His likeness? Which also means...yes...we will eventually all start to think alike. Would this not also be heaven? Or maybe not...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11246046390982595453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4068123822395678541.post-74509760209420095202010-08-10T08:49:44.855-06:002010-08-10T08:49:44.855-06:00You guys are both wrong.

Who wants to be one more self-congratulatory drop in the echo chamber? the thought is depressing. a contrived conflict would be no better, mind you.<br /><br />I have to admit sometimes I'll want to take issue with one sentence out of 20 you've written but don't because I'm not the blog police and also because the other 19 are fantastic.
