Turkish television station Kanal T hopes the answer is a ratings success as it prepares to launch a gameshow where spiritual guides from the four faiths will seek to convert a group of non-believers. The prize for converts will be a pilgrimage to a holy site of their chosen religion -- Mecca for Muslims, the Vatican for Christians, Jerusalem for Jews and Tibet for Buddhists. A team of theologians will ensure that the atheists are truly non-believers and are not just seeking fame or a free holiday. This seems....odd. -- Posted by xsnortingxashesx at 7:52 am on July 4, 2009 This seems intriguing. -- Posted by Jasonzlpa at 7:53 am on July 4, 2009 WTF.....  lol.... -- Posted by StraitjacketJunky at 7:53 am on July 4, 2009 That sounds like so much fun for some reason. I doubt those guys are very strong or stubborn atheists, though. -- Posted by Moridin at 7:53 am on July 4, 2009 Maybe I should apply? -- Posted by Heatherrox at 7:54 am on July 4, 2009 you cant convert an atheist ....unless you have a god who is willing to appear for them -- Posted by Shibs at 7:54 am on July 4, 2009 Seems sort of cool. -- Posted by nefari0us at 7:59 am on July 4, 2009 I would watch this! -- Posted by girl22 at 8:13 am on July 4, 2009 Quote: from nefari0us at 10:59 am on July 4, 2009 I would watch this! me too and I find the prize for the Christian one kinda dumb not all Christians are crazy about the Vatican thats mostly the catholics i would had made the prize a trip to Israel and a chance to get baptized in the same river Jesus was baptized in edit they need a protestant preacher on the show -- Posted by osmoticdespair at 9:09 am on July 4, 2009 Sounds like a terrible terrible show. However it would probably be fun to be a contestant. -- Posted by Moridin at 9:15 am on July 4, 2009 Quote: from osmoticdespair at 7:09 pm on July 4, 2009 Sounds like a terrible terrible show.

You think you could fool the theologians that they use to screen the contestants? :p -- Posted by osmoticdespair at 9:18 am on July 4, 2009 Quote: from Moridin at 5:15 pm on July 4, 2009 Quote: from osmoticdespair at 7:09 pm on July 4, 2009 Sounds like a terrible terrible show.    However it would probably be fun to be a contestant. You think you could fool the theologians that they use to screen the contestants? :p Really the only way I can imagine it would not be possible to fool them is if one was unwilling to lie and or do basic research. I mean, what exactly can a theologian ask someone to find out they are faking atheism? Or are they going to get the people to swear on a holy relic or something? -- Posted by Moridin at 9:22 am on July 4, 2009 If they where to ask you to swear on the bible that you where not a Christian, do you think you could be able to do it? -- Posted by osmoticdespair at 9:25 am on July 4, 2009 Quote: from Moridin at 5:22 pm on July 4, 2009 If they where to ask you to swear on the bible that you where not a Christian, do you think you could be able to do it? I'm trying not to lie, swearing or not so I am afraid I'd probably not manage it. ...plus I giggle a lot when I lie (I also giggle when telling the truth but frightened someone will think I am lying though...) -- Posted by Raza say at 10:54 am on July 4, 2009 Quote: from Moridin at 7:53 am on July 4, 2009 Maybe I should apply? You should.
