For those of who you have long sense despaired of finding polite and civil discourse, despite disagreement, look no further than the comment section of my recent post, “God Is Dead, Science Has Killed Him.”

Our reader “J”, who authors the beautiful blog Jamie Kiley, has engaged me in an incredibly intelligent discussion regarding the use of certain Scripture passages to make the point that the Bible was/is scientifically accurate before its time.

Needless to say, keeping up with Jamie has eaten up the time I would usually spend writing blog posts. For that reason I am pleased to announce that September 24th is now National Civil Discussion Appreciation Day!

Here’s what NCDAD (National Civil Discussion Appreciation Day) involves:

1) I don’t write new blog posts. I just write civil dicussion posts for the comment section.

2) You don’t get to read new blog posts. You just get to read civil discussions in the comment section. AND, if you haven’t already, you get to read The Rebelution’s commenting guidelines which have been adopted by blogs across the blogosphere.

3) ALSO, you all get to vote for the Civil Discussion Ruler Of The World. Anyone is eligible. Include at least one reason for your vote. The comment section of this post is reserved as a ballot box.

UPDATE: It isn’t that I don’t want Jamie to win. But our voter turnout percentage is somewhere around 2%. For your own sakes, be responsible citizens and vote for dictator (I mean ruler).
