200+ questionnaires completed

I am grateful to God, and those that have completed and returned my problem of evil questionnaires. As of today I have 205 completed questionnaires in my possession. I have therefore reached my goal of 200+ completed questionnaires in my possession and this number is acceptable to my advisor. I will continue to process the results of my questionnaire data. My theoretic research and the results of the data should allow me to provide an original analysis and theology in regard to the problem of evil. I emailed my advisor early this morning and not only was he pleased with the amount of completed questionnaires I have in my possession, but also was intrigued with my ideas for originality which shall come from concepts in the theoretical work and analyzing the data.

Please note, 200+ questionnaires is an acceptable number, but if I have sent you a questionnaire, please complete it, as I only have 75 of the 205 questionnaires processed in the data file and therefore I have time to accept more surveys. The greater number of surveys I have completed, the better it shall appear to the examiners.

Here are some of my recent edited comments in italics from other blogs. I reason that if I am going to do the work on others blogs, I should make use of some of it on my own blogs.

Please scan the blog articles for context, and these bloggers appreciate respectful comments, as do I.

From Tom’s blog, he writes about Christian music.

Several years ago, I realized that I would have a problem being intellectually consistent if I avoided secular music, and yet still viewed secular films and read secular books. I reason that Christians should be open-minded concerning art and material that is secular.

Tom had previously written about animal rights.

Hmm, a good point. I wonder if some of these hardcore environmentalists think that human beings are often interfering with evolution negatively? But, very likely the dominant species will dominate. Since as Christians we reason that God created persons with compassion, it allows us to not just dominate by nature but also care for animals.

Rick writes on a recent scammer email I received which I placed in the comments of my latest article on satire and theology.

I wonder if these scams are usually connected to foreign organized crime, or rather small time operators.

From David’s blog, he comments on some work of C.S. Lewis in regard to the thought process of an evil man.

Having read and reviewed Lewis concerning the problem of evil for my MPhil, I am not a huge fan of his theology, but he does make some good points at times. A very evil man may understand his evil less and less, but it is possible that he realizes that he is becoming more evil and is not too concerned about it. An evil man may think he is right at times, or may think he is wrong at times and not care.
