Blog 38: Holy Bologna

My title as you can guess was Holy Bologna and as a side not I had to sing the Oscar Meyer Bologna jingle to be able to spell it.  Some other titles I am currently thinking to change it to are, “Thou shall steal, Thou shall kill, Thou shall commit adultery” [Religion10:13].  Or another one would be “Holy” Shit.  The general topic of my paper is the generalized perception of religion and how it is all wrong according to recent studies.  I’m not really sure which to pick; to me all seem appropriate and get the same point across.  Although the Holy Bologna is good in my opinion it some people didn’t get it and gave me a bad grade while others loved it saying it was unique and creative so I guess it depends if you get it or not.  For my intro I had some difficulty selecting an opening line, I was debating between “Though shall not sin; oh wait…”, “Jesus Christ, fuck the deadly sins.”, and “Ever see someone holding the bible to their chest and watching as it stabs them in the back?  America has.”  I think the best combination is the Thou shall title with the Jesus Christ opener.  However, I feel like the Jesus Christ comment could be rather offensive which could turn people off from reading my paper which is not something I want to do.  So I am not entirely sure what I want to do with it at the moment, hopefully it comes to me soon.

  1. You have a sticky situation since you are dealing with religion. I think the Holy Bologna title is creative but I am not sure what intro you should use. The Jesus Christ does sound a bit offensive but it also gets your point across. I guess your decision will be based on the voice you want to have during your paper. Good luck on deciding!
