@Cornhusker54321 Unless you work to understand how the faith is actually lived and practiced, and what members actually believe, you will end up writing something that doesn't ring true. Like I said, it's hard work! I've probably fallen short in this respect when writing about other religions. — PolitiTweet.org

@Cornhusker54321 I don't know what you mean by "fair game," but the goal of journalism is to reflect reality as it is. You're not trying to beat your subject or build a case against them.
