Religulous

I had to do it. I wanted to avoid it. But, after a few weeks, I realized I couldn’t. I mean there’s four of them in a town of 800 for Pete’s sake.

I had to cover the churches this past week. I wrote three stories for this week’s paper that were centered around religion. It took every bit of me not to scream when listening to what some of the people had to say, but I guess that’s good practice. I need to be an unbiased reporter even if I am covering people who I believe are brainwashed. One woman actually talked about wishing she could go to the Wailing Wall and convert all the Jews. I’m half and half, which really means I’m nothing. One religion is as crazy as the next in my eyes. But a quote’s a quote and the more devout someone is the better that quote just may be.

The whole process represents another piece of this whole journey. It is venturing into something that I do not know. If I can cover a rodeo, I can cover the religious. Although, I think I would have an easier time staying on a bull.

Anyway, here’s to new experiences and an open mind.

Comments welcome,
