As usual on this quarterly roundup, these top posts may not all have been FROM the previous quarter, just the most commonly read. I'll note the "evergreen" ones.
No. 10 is from the early salad days, indeed, 2007, "A birthday poem for 'Pharayngula' aka P.Z. Myers." That was of course before I realized he was a Gnu Atheist.
No. 9 is from 2023, and I think I know why "Fascism in the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod" is trending again. It's due to LCMS President Matthew Harrison's anointing of Charlie Kirk.
No. 8 is even older than No. 10, from 2006. My "More philosophical reflections from my national parks vacation" was a riff on "Dover Beach."
No. 7? My piece from 2023, "Standing Josiah and Deuteronomy on their heads" may be trending from some Reddit link. (I love how people claim it's too convoluted. In my opinion, they either don't want to read it through, just can't understand how the "Josiah" and "Deuteronomy" parts overlap, and/or don't get the research behind either half of it.)
No. 6, "Thoughts from Olympus," is from the same vacation as No. 8.
No. 5 is an oldie but a goodie. "More proof the Buddha was no Buddha" is from 2007.
No. 4, "A Lutheran college myth bites the dust," is about the truth of the song "Lean on Me" and is from 2020.
No. 3, "The great ahistoricity of Acts and radical thoughts on Paul's demise," from 2020, is trending because I posted it on r/AskHistorians at Reddit and then had the Nazi moderators pull it down. They later banned me, which I discussed at my main site.
No. 2 is "Genesis 6 Retold," which I shared in various spots recently. It's an extended haiku riff on the myth and legend behind the flood story.
No. 1, "Ezra, meet Snopes" is from way back in 2005, not too long after I started this site, and discusses some thoughts behind the idea of Ezra as editor of the Torah and its four main documentary strains.
