Week 10 Posting

Shaping my mini-ethnography is still in the air as of now, I have a GENERAL idea of how to present all my findings but is far from concrete.  I know that I want to inform the readers that I am not a raging atheist who just has simply denounced God to his entirety, but has once been a Christian believer and is somewhat active in the subculture.  I will start off with some of my fondest childhood memories about spending the weekends with my g parents and always attending Church on Sundays.  How I participated in the church frequently until about the age of 14, and then to explain how I had questions that no one in the church could answer.  After trying to make a emotional connection with the reader I will try to make a smooth transition to some of the background information that I have obtained on the Christian religion and how it came to be the money making power house it is today.  Of course I will set my biased opinions aside the best that I can.  I think that I will be able to reach out to more people without the sarcastic tone throughout the paper.  Though this has become increasingly harder as I have researced the topic and found of its origins and things that have come along with it.  The use of my interviews and observation notes should be able to help me balance myself, to a more well rounded ethnography.
