Religion

Yesterday morning I was watching a news clip online of Juanita Bynum. She was holding a press conference and speaking for the first time of an incident in which her husband brutally attacked her. As I was watching this conference though, I found that I wasn't really moved by anything that she was saying. Like I was trying really, really hard to hear a semblance of realness from the words that were coming out of her mouth...but I didn't hear any. I can quite possibly be a tad jaded, because I do work in the industry, and I have somewhat of an understanding of how the PR game works...but I just imagine that if I were to go through something like that, and had a couple of days to compose myself, then I presented myself in front of the media --- some part of my speech or story would reek with emotion, and I didn't see it at all. By all means I am not judging this woman, and I was mortified like others when I heard what happened. I just wonder if this incident will be her mission for the purpose of furthering God's will...or hers?

Lately I've been tripping about religion and religious folks, and yeah it could be the fact that I haven't been to church in weeks. But I just feel like irresponsible religion causes people to hide a part of who they truly are, and I don't think they benefit or others around them truly benefit.

Who knows, maybe I am the one whose confused.
