This was a cool panel because it had San Antonio’s own Real Live Preacher. The discussion was focused on unique issues encountered when blogging about religion online - both pro and con.

One big pro was that being online provides an outlet for those who can’t find a religious community that accepts them in their local area. A relative negative was the angry, ugly comments that some people receive. Another mixed fact is that members of your real-life community may have issues with what you write.

The panel caught a little flack from some of the audience for not including the atheistic community, but it was an interesting discussion.
