Happy Sunday
It went from rain to sun as I drove home from Vancouver this afternoon.
I have semi-satirically and hopefully entertainingly noted in my comments of recent posts on this blog and Satire And Theology my thoughts that Stat Counter and Site Meter are not keeping accurate blog statistics lately. The recorded pageviews were at times 15-20% of Blogger's recorded views.
Usually 33-40% of the Blogger total is more typical.
I would view certain persons, that are frequent visitors on my blogs via Revolver, that provides the visual globe and notifies who is presently on the blog (s) and Stat Counter and Site Meter missed a visitor three times. And this was just three times I noticed.
When someone commented the other day on the Satire blog, Stat Counter completely missed the pageview which has been occurring frequently recently, although Site Meter recorded it. Histats seems to record some of the pageviews the other two programs miss, perhaps from handheld devices. I assume this in regard to handheld devices as I know when I view my blogs with my cellphone many times the view does not get recorded by Stat Counter or Site Meter, although Revolver catches it.
My laptop views are virtually always recorded.
Histats also recorded several more visits to both of my sites main URL addresses than Stat Counter and Site Meter recorded, and more visits than I made by far. So this is suspicious.
I have reasoned out that as with every year the pageviews numbers decrease overall in the Summer and it could be as more of us are outside there are less pageviews from desktops and laptops and the pageviews that do occur are more likely from handheld devices which my two main programs are missing.
Seems to me Revolver should be in the business that Stat Counter and Site Meter are...
There is also the possibility that I am just receiving less views and if that is the case I realize although I appreciate the support that life goes on even without certain support.
It is excellent having readers and a 'fan club' but if people move on I still plan, God willing, to work at this ministry and gain experience.
I wish everyone well.
Problem is, I just checked my Blogger pageview statistics and it shows a good day both blogs, especially considering a weekend. Satire And Theology via Stat Counter is only recording 16% of the Blogger numbers for today, although Stat Counter is on PDT and Blogger GMT, and 13% of the pageviews on this blog.
I should note, Blogger only provides the statistics with no ISP addresses or locations. Therefore I can compare and reason Blogger is more accurate with the stats but does not provide the entire picture.
As of a philosopher it is a time to just admit, I do not completely understand what is going on.
As a theologian: God is sovereign.
You see philosophy and theology are practical...
Is The World Becoming More Evil?
Another survey comparison from my theses.
From: 2003 The Problem of Evil: Anglican and Baptist Perspectives: MPhil thesis, Bangor University
Statement thirty-one:
Statement thirty-one stated: The world is becoming increasingly evil. Here 34% of Anglicans agreed, while 26% were not certain, and 40% disagreed. With the Baptists, 58% agreed, 12% were not certain, and 30% disagreed. I tentatively disagree with this statement. I do believe that our present western culture does appear to be on a moral slide downwards. However, I do not think this means that society is necessarily more evil than culture one hundred years ago, but rather people today are allowed to be more open with their evil because society has greater tolerance for immorality and diversity of opinions. This does not mean, however, that people in past generations were not just as evil in thought and deed.

Question 46: The world is becoming more evil
With these questions the scale changed, and is now ranging from 1 to 5, 1 being ‘little’ and 5 being ‘much’. One hundred and eleven respondents (52.1%) chose ‘4 to 5’ meaning a majority favour the proposition.. Sixty persons (28.2%) chose ‘1 to 2’ and 42 (19.7%) chose ‘3’.
