Youth Radio Vermont has put out a series of religiously themed pieces created during a religion unit at Winooski High School in Vermont. Of all the faith-based pieces this one was my favorite.

Religion will always be one of those taboo subjects in our world. This piece, and all the Youth Radio Vermont pieces for that matter, should be acknowledged for taking on such a delicate matter.

Producer Jake Viens has put together a very provocative piece here that features a well-crafted dialogue of hypotheticals that confronts religious tyranny.

The dialogue is pure witty satire and very heady. It's cleverly suggested that each religious sect anty-up a quarter of their followers in order to win the pool of non-believers in order to win cavalry for their own religious army.

The narrator speaks quickly making a bit hard to comprehend, but then again I think that plays into what this piece is trying to accompish, not to mention it requires a 2nd listen. During that 2nd listen it becomes more enjoyable and rings more true. The narration also offers some enhancing special effects, a sort of reverberating voice of god (or is it a voice of reason?).

The piece finishes strongly with an acute anecdote, "now that's some reality tv worth watching."
