On Comment Moderation

Welcome! Thank you for visiting Theology & Snack. The purpose of this blog is to discuss theology, food, and other fun topics. Most posts are "theological snacks," fun, bite-sized hors d'oeurves to get you thinking; they're certainly not full meals nor meant to give anyone indigestion.

Please feel free to comment on any post that interests you. I have comment moderation enabled for several reasons. First are the usual problems with the internet. Thankfully, I've not had much yet. Spam does get tossed, however, even if it is "Jesus" spam.

Second are my security and privacy concerns. Please don't post my real name and exact location if you know it.

Additionally, I seek to avoid acrimonious debate. Feel free to speak your mind, but please realize that with a blog post one can't always take the time necessary to tweak every word so precisely that no offense is caused when none is intended. I do truly try to live my life by the two great commandments Jesus gave us. At the same time, as a theologian part of my job is to criticize doctrine. I love everyone, even Calvinists and Catholics, even if I disagree with your theology. ;) Please keep that in mind. Heated comments that seriously distort what I have actually said, e.g.:

Me: The sky is blue.
Anonymous Commenter: Why are you so hateful?!

are likely to get tossed or at most posted then ignored. There are many places on the internet where one can go for heated debate where every single word typed is parsed for sinister hidden meanings. This is not one of them.

After all, theology should be fun!

P.S. If need be, I can be mailed at the username "theologyandsnack" on Google's email service.
