More outrage?
The inverse of this would cause a holy war, the blood of the rational washing down the gutters, slain by the frothing faithful wielding burning copies of "evil book" Harry Potter.

Pfff. This world is going bonkers.

Whoever said we were advanced and better than our primitive forms.

Sigh. :roll:

Sometimes I wish people were more into themselves, more selfish. So they could forget about 'correcting' others.

Why the hell are some people so hell-bent on turning atheists?

I expect it's just a daft bit of entertainment rather than any serious attempt at converting atheists to a particular faith. I fail to see how a true atheist could possibly be converted, unless they were just doing it for the prize. An odd idea for a show, but there you go.

To be honest, I don't think any of the holy places would be worth converting for a holiday to!

First off, I'd say that the programming director that approved of this program (let alone, the IDIOT that thought it up) both need to be shot, it's just that simple. It is obvious their heads are so far up their hind-side that they have no comprehension as to what the world is really about.

Secondly, any "real" clergyman involved with any one of the world's major religions would probably refuse to lower themselves to this level of ignorance.

Finally, I can't see how it is the concern of ANYONE ELSE in the world what I believe so long as my beliefs don't directly affect them and vice versa and too, that absolutely no sense of harm or loss come about for others as the result of that belief. Hell, I know numerous priests that have their days and years of doubting God's existence, is that any different that an agnostic? (other than the fact that the latter isn't out there giving lip service to the contrary)

I do no appreciate and have come to not tolerate anyone that gets in my face seeking to save my soul when it is a.) none of their freaking business; and b.) it's my soul and I'll do with it as I please, thank you very much! So kindly SHOVE IT! :wink:

I hate preachers. I won't elaborate because I'll probably get in trouble and offend someone in the process.

I never discuss religion or politics so I'll go away now.
