monologue avoidance desires (MAD)

This is a friendly reminder that the reason there hasn’t been posts up here for the last few days is partly because I haven’t had anything slide across my brain, but also because nobody else has submitted anything. So, in the interests of seeing out my MAD plans: I offer the following suggestions for posts:

  1. Idealistic dreams. There’s a whole category for “Crazy Idealism” and it would be sad to see only my meagre post on advocacy as the best effort at the idealistic world. Have a go - there’s nothing quite as fun as having people shoot down your idealism. (Kidding!!!)
  2. Why I… whatever. Why I’m a Calvinist. Why I hate Calvinists. Why I wish I was an atheist. All of these make good titles for posts. And there’s a category for these too
  3. Book Reviews. There’ll pretty soon be a review of McLaren’s “Everything Must Change” (I’ve just got to read it first), but you can get in first and tell everyone about the last book you read.
  4. Whatever else you feel like. I just like having this site being about more than whatever’s on Geoff’s mind at the time.

If any of the above inspire you to contribute to Amateur Theology, just send your post in an email to submissions@amateurtheology.org . I pseudo-promise to have something up tomorrow of greater value. Until then - happy submitting.

    k hmmm interesting

    I have an idea brewing that is more of a psychology/lifestyle thing… but it could be interesting to see how it stacks up in a theological context

    might have to wait till after my exam tho

    oh and I think I should probably write something akin to “why I am a socialist”… but I’m going to have to decide I really am one before I can do that… again requires research… and i probably should do it after i do my exam and hand in the two overdue essays unko… haha
