Vicechic84 Posted August 2, 2009 Report Share Posted August 2, 2009 News of the Weird: So a priest, a rabbi, an imam and a monk walk into a bar ... to convert atheists, and it's coming soon to Turkish television.Apparently believing that religious competition in the Middle East is not exciting enough already, the television station Kanal T in Istanbul, Turkey, is preparing a reality game show for September release in which 10 certified atheists try to resist conversion by a priest, a rabbi, a Muslim imam and a Buddhist monk. The exact rules have not been disclosed, but the "winning" convert will receive an expense-paid trip to the holy land of the most persuasive religion (the Vatican, Jerusalem, Mecca or Tibet). According to a July Reuters report, Turkey's Islamic Religious Affairs Directorate, not surprisingly, had vowed never to co-operate. Now I've read it all! Can I get an Amen folks?!

agent 47 Posted August 2, 2009 Report Share Posted August 2, 2009 Hmm, and they forgot the religion of our local vice Cop Stanley Swaitek: Elvis Pressley - ism, with a free trip to Graceland and a stopover in Vegas at a Elvis impersonators house, which is a moderately sized basement in his parents house!:)Seriously, the muslims will win, they promise virgins! (With Catholic coming in strong at no. 2 with their promise of cannolis, who does not love heart clogging pastries?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miamijimf Posted August 2, 2009 Report Share Posted August 2, 2009 Thanks guys I'm forwarding this to my email buddies. We send each other bizzare and weird news stories and this is the weirdest. I agree with your estimate of the first and second place winning religions. I doubt if many Turks like Jewish or Tibetan food. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
