My Thoughts On the Poll About My Book After One Day
I'm going to stop it. I've learned what I wanted to learn. Here are the results after a bit more than a day:
What intrigues me is the number of people who have not heard of it. Their name is Legion to use a Biblical term. But now they do.
I know readers might be a bit tired of this kind of promotion, but since my publisher isn't doing it who else will? After a bit more than a day I learned that 10% of the people who visit DC (and who also vote) have not heard of it. That's why I continually promote it. I promote it for these stated reasons alone. I am not in this for the money, although donations are appreciated since I must have it to live the meager lifestyle I do. I'm in it to change the religious landscape one person at a time.
I hope you understand and are thankful I didn't leave the poll up for weeks. ;-)
Carry on.
A Poll About My Book WIBA:Most people who visit DC do not vote on polls and since I have some Christians who fear my book and influence they'll lie for Jesus by voting that "it contains nothing new." Maybe it doesn't, but this poll isn't scientific so we cannot know what people really think.
It looks interesting and on my wish list 19 (24%)
I'm currently reading it 14 (17%)
I've read it but it contains nothing new 5 (6%)
I've read it and recommend it to others 6 (7%)
I've read it and highly recommend it to others 17 (21%)
I didn't know of it until now 8 (10%)

I hope there aren't Christians who feel they must "lie" for Jesus because you are so charming and your book is so powerful. No offense, I like you and hope you have financial success in all you do. However I'm not quite sure your book (Although well written etc.) is going to thwart God's plans. So attn: all Christians, lying is a sin, so if we are gonna lie save them for the IRS.
Peace be with you, feeno
Why on earth would they be scared?
Hey, if Jesus Christ is building the church, then as He says, even the gates of Hell can't prevail....
On the other hand, if the Christian faith is a fairy tale, then who would want to base their whole life on myth, anyway?? As the apostle Paul states, we would be pretty foolish..
To be honest, I feel like I must have studied every skeptical argument there is.
Respectfully, can't think there would be something "new under the sun," out there. :)
i have been loving every bit of your book and plan on submitting a glowing review to "Philosophy Now"...I don't expect it to be accepted, but i one day hope to get published and I feel that writing about something that I am passionate about that is relatively current will be a great place to start. Thank you for the time you took to speak to others who were let down by the holes in the christian faith.
Thanks so much Wanderer! It makes me glad to know that what I write is making a difference.
