Game show in Turkey seeks to convert atheists

[Safe-Keeper]

Anyway, I have bookmarked the thread and will watch and give a short review if I can.

I'm thinking that they will pick "atheists" who are "on the fence." The type of person who thinks "something is out there, but I don't know what." They will stack the deck.

This program was supposed to air in autumn and its now winter. I’ve had a bit of a search for "Tovbekarlar Yarisiyor" and it doesn’t appear to have ever run. Looks like satellite broadcaster Kanal T is doing well enough with its current line-up which includes a “hot” health lifestyle program hosted by a woman dressed like a porno fantasy nurse.

I'd love to throw a monkey wrench into this. I wouldn't have to fake athiesm, but after all their conversion attempts, I'd attest that I'd found in their blathering some truth in the norse gods, or the dreamtime, or the great spirit, or something else completely outside the judeochriststain/asian dichotomy they've set up, and tell them they had to send me to Sweden or set up a pilgrimage to Uluru, or some such.

The mere thought of convincingly converting to Jediism ...

Send me to a galaxy far far away...

Of course, I hear England is now the center of the jedi religion

I predict the most boring show ever.
An all expense paid vacation to Mecca. Woohoo. Gonna be lining up for that.

They'd like you to think there are huge differences between the religions, but they are really not all that different.

To most of these people, someone who used to believe in God but now does not, is not an atheist but an apostate. That excludes almost everyone except some electricty-less farmers living in an isolated mountain village somewhere. Or maybe Australians.

If all the contestants could be women that would be more interesting.

Of course, these "atheist" contestants could be about as "real" as... well... everything else we've seen on reality TV so far.

I don't think this show qualifies as reality TV at all. Unreality TV perhaps? Myth TV? Wishful Thinking TV? Not reality.
