OUCH. That's fucked up. How can any true morality come from the desert dogma religions of the psychopath, "god of abe", as is Christianity, etc ?

Religion idol worship to save you, will never be the answer to our problems  .... The message of being good, needs no author to worship. The words of thousands of wise ones is always better ..... My atheist jesus is no fucking xain .... and no idol .... as we are one, and the same simple message.

Creating idols , creates protesters and rebellion. The message that you are god , is the best one I can spread, drunk or sober, and the message is always the same.

"To know the good is to do good" ..... etc.  The author is not the least bit important. You are what is important .....

 

 

I notice that most of their contestants already sound conflicted. The stress of a reality show will make them crack, and that breakdown will be used to dramatically vindicate the show's premise. As you know, tears and hugging indicate a drastic and permanent change in story arc.

Hmm. Channel 4 made one of my all-time favorite programs, "The Secret Life of Machines."

My predictions on who will "convert":
 

• a biker who's a tattooist and a militant atheist - no
  
  
• a young man who was brought up Christian until he was 12, and now has a girlfriend who is 10 weeks' pregnant - could go either way; I'll say yes, since he's atheist out of apathy
   
• a lap-dancing manager who can't live without continually acquiring expensive designer shoes - he'll either be like "fuck this" or else drink the kool-aid and realize that material possessions are nothing without god!! probably the latter, since it wouldn't be much of a show if people didn't convert.
   
• middle-class parents who are so professionally busy that they have hardly any time to spend with their children - yes, if only because church/bible time can be family time.
   
• a man in his 20s who, unbeknown to his girlfriend, goes out every week drinking and womanising - YES. He'll realize "the error of his ways," and repent, and want to live happily ever after, free from his former "sinful lifestyle."
   
• a man who found Christianity unfulfilling and has converted to Islam - no. He'll probably be buddhist within a year.
   
• a lesbian who sometimes sleeps with men. - no. especially not if the reverend is anti-homosexual. 

But of all the people to convert, I'm guessing the only ones who will stay that way for any extended period of time after the show will be the guy with the pregnant gf, and Mr. Womanizer.

This should be interesting...

 

 

 

*that* is a show I would watch on pay-per-view

   Great  answer  goddess.  Have you ever heard of a reality show called the "Baby borrowers"?  4 or 5 young couples were given babys to care for, later toddlers, pre-teens and teens...etc to see how they would cope with a real family.  I caught the last half of the last show (too meny reruns elsewhere) what I found interesting was after the filming all the young couples had parted ways.   Proof that reality TV can't realy change anyones reality, raising children can.

To effectively pull this off...they should deny the winner oxygen to his brain.

Well Channel 4  a while back also did 'make me a muslim'  (or similar title).

What was really amazing a very openly  gay man DID convert  (didnt stop being gay and was told he would burn in hell but he still converted).

He hadnt really resolved a lot of issues with his dead father and was comforted by the Iman at his fathers grave.

Everyone had to live as a Muslim for a week one guy managed 3 hours before going down the pub.

Religion picks on the vulnerable and its quite possible some of the people taking part on Sunday make have some skeletons in their closets which may come out and be used.

The programme was actually very interesting and I suspect this one will be too. I will certainly be watching it
