Keep up the good work.

I enjoy every article. Sometimes I need to read them three times to 'get it'. I'm not as invested in your faith as you are. It takes courage to do what you do, writing about things that are are threatening and so difficult to understand.

Journalism, and especially the deep dive jounalism you do is hard to do and hard to find.

I believe that there are 4 types of journalism.

True

False

Opinion

Bullshit

True is true. False is not true. Opinion is a mix of the two, but influenced by our ignorance, indifference, and prejudices.

But Bullshit prevails today. Bullshit: I know it's False, you know it's False, but we'll both treat it as True, simply because it''s too difficult to challenge since the the truth is so hard to get at.

Thanks for fighting the war against bullshit.
