On this page, I catalog interactions I have with people who are not my readers – at least not yet. I’m reaching out to them by commenting on the websites of others – that is, elsewhere than my website. (I don’t always remember, or have the time, to log such interactions, but here are at least a sampling of them.)

June 2025

Thursday, June 12, 2025 – I commented on a Wintery Knight blog post titled “What Is the Earliest Statement of the Authoritative Books of the Bible?”
Wednesday, June 4, 2025 – I wrote an original post on reddit’s r/Christianity thread titled “Jesus Is the Head of Humanity.” The body of the post went on to say, “Jesus Christ and the Bible are not just for Christians – they’re for everyone!” I cannot provide a link because, after engagement with maybe 12 respondents, totaling 80 interactions between us, a reddit moderator removed my post for “Low Effort.” I asked for an explanation, but have not received one so far. Meanwhile, since reddit gave the option, I made the same post on reddit’s r/TrueChristian thread.
Monday, June 2, 2025 – I wrote an original post on reddit’s r/Christianity thread titled “Theological Liberals Have All the Courage of the Religious Elites Who Challenged Jesus.”

May 2025

Wednesday, May 28, 2025 – I wrote an original post on reddit’s r/Christianity thread titled “Methodological naturalism is circular reasoning; no true agnostic should be willing to use it.” One of the more productive sub-threads concluded with this.
Monday, May 26, 2025 – I wrote an original post on reddit’s r/Christianity thread titled “Historical criticism is inherently incapable of establishing New Testament authorship with certainty.”
Saturday, May 24, 2025 – I wrote an original post on reddit’s r/Christianity thread titled “No one should be surprised that quests for the historical Jesus were preceded by the adoption of historical criticism.“
Wednesday, May 21, 2025 – I wrote an original post on reddit’s r/Christianity thread titled “Modern Critical Scholars Have Seated Themselves in the Chairs of the Apostles.”
Wednesday, May 21, 2025 – I commented on a Wintery Knight blog post titled “Colorado parents can’t raise their kids according to their own values.”
Tuesday, May 20, 2025 – I wrote an original post on reddit’s r/Christianity thread titled “Two Riddles of New Testament Authorship.”
Thursday, May 15, 2025 – I wrote an original post on reddit’s r/Christianity thread titled “Can anyone on reddit tell me how and why ancient churches got New Testament authorship wrong?” The most productive comment thread of all the exchanges ended with this. Another productive thread concluded with this.
Tuesday, May 13, 2025 – I wrote an original post on reddit’s r/TrueChristian thread titled “Why don’t modern people accept the testimony of ancient people about authorship of the New Testament?“
Friday, May 9, 2025 – I wrote an original post on reddit’s r/Christianity thread titled “The New Testament Is What It Appears to Be.” I’ve already begun responding to comments.
Tuesday, May 6, 2025 – I wrote an original post on reddit’s r/Christianity thread titled “Ehrman Errs.” It prompted at least a dozen responses in short order. Last time I checked there had been 55 comments, but probably half of those were my responses to the comments of others.
Monday, May 5, 2025 – I wrote an original post on reddit’s r/Christianity thread titled “Christ-ianity or Christian-ity?” and received some comments. I responded to some of them.
Thursday, May 1, 2025 – This is one of three comments I made on a Gavin Ortlund video about universalism. (He may have deleted one or more of those comments; it’s hard to check given the way the comment streams on YouTube work.)

April 2025

Sunday, April 27, 2025 – This is taken from an exchange I’m having with someone on YouTube about circular reasoning with respect to Jesus being Lord and the Bible being the word of God. It’s an important point to understand.

March 2025

Sunday, March 30, 2025 – I wrote an original post on reddit’s r/Christianity thread titled “Whatever became of Jesus Christ?”
Friday, March 28, 2025 – I wrote an original post on reddit’s r/Christianity thread titled “Why does ‘What would Jesus do?’ (WWJD) so often fail as a strategy for living?” Some of the responses have been interesting and even helpful to a degree, but I haven’t yet read one I would label a definitive answer or even an extremely enlightening one. I wasn’t trying to stump anyone.
Wednesday, March 26, 2025 – I wrote an original post on reddit’s r/Christianity thread titled “In America, Catholics get away with portraying themselves as ‘the oldest fraternity on campus’ because there are so few Orthodox.” It has received several replies, and I have replied when and as appropriate.
Sunday, March 23, 2025 – I wrote an original post on reddit’s r/TrueChristian thread titled “Whatever Became of the Protestant Reformation?” It has received several replies, and I have replied when and as appropriate.
Monday, March 17, 2025 – I wrote an original post on reddit’s r/TrueChristian thread titled “True Christianity Is Christ-ianity, Not Christian-ity” It has received several replies, and I have replied when appropriate to do so.
Thursday, March 13, 2025 – I wrote an original post on reddit’s r/TrueChristian thread titled “America Needs a Come-to-Jesus Moment. Literally!” It has received a number of replies, and I have responded to them when appropriate to do so.

February 2025

Wednesday, February 26, 2025 – I wrote an original post on reddit’s r/TrueChristian thread titled “True Christianity is True to the Apostles’ Teaching.” The link probably won’t work for you because I received this message from the moderators of this thread: “Sorry, this post has been removed by the moderators of r/TrueChristian.” I appealed to the moderators and, after a number of interactions with them, they denied my appeal because I didn’t conform to the Nicene Creed and Trinitarianism. I told them they should change the name of the thread to r/TrueTrinitarianism. If I have to choose between the apostles and bishops, I think Jesus wants me to choose the apostles.
Monday, February 24, 2025 – I wrote an original post on reddit’s r/Christianity thread titled “Modern Christianity Needs an Overhaul.” It has received numerous responses.
Wednesday, February 12, 2025 – I commented on a Wintery Knight blog post titled “Wikipedia co-founder, who holds PhD in philosophy, returns to Christianity.”
Sunday, February 9, 2025 – I commented on a Wintery Knight blog post titled “Is Darwinian evolution compatible with Christian theism?”
Thursday, February 6, 2025 – I responded to a new post on reddit’s r/TrueChristian forum titled “YOU ARE NOT FORSAKEN.” – 1.
Wednesday, February 5, 2025 – I responded to a new post on reddit’s r/Christianity forum titled “Please help me… and pray for me.” – 1.
Tuesday, February 4, 2025 – I responded to a new post on reddit’s r/Christianity forum titled “Just want to share this” (Is 1:18) – 1.
Monday, February 3, 2025 – I responded to a new post on reddit’s r/Christianity forum titled “Dear Christian fam, I apologize for being angry with a bunch of you, and insulting you for decades.” – 1.
Sunday, February 2, 2025 – I responded to a new post on reddit’s r/Christianity forum titled “I became a Christian a few days ago…” – 1

Wednesday, January 22, 2025 – I had multiple interactions with various folks on two separate threads respectively titled “Religion is a human creation not an objective truth” and “What we call ‘Hell’ cannot exist” – both posted on reddit’s r/debateReligion forum: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31.
Tuesday, January 21, 2025 – I began commenting on reddit for the first time a week or so ago. Already one of my contributions has displeased the moderators.
