- smacksaw, on 07/03/2009, -12/+170The opposite show would never work, where atheists use reason, logic and empirical evidence to disprove the beliefs of various religious folk. What would the trip be for them? Easter Island?
- Drahkir, on 07/04/2009, -0/+129Atheists haven't claimed to disprove anything, since that would be logically impossible. They merely argue that there is no rational reason to believe in what the theists believe.
- Khast, on 07/04/2009, -4/+132Does the Atheist get bonus points for making said religions turn away from their religion?
- KMye, on 07/03/2009, -5/+117At least they're not as bad as all those Italian-Americans. I remember this one wop on digg, who generalized about an entire ethnicity because of one girl he'd met in high school. They're the worst with being ignorant bigots.

- NMRgentleman, on 07/04/2009, -3/+92"'God is great and it doesn't matter which religion you believe in. The important thing is to believe,' Soylu said."
Where do people get this idea that it doesn't matter which religion you believe in, the important thing is to have one? You wouldn't apply that to anything else in life. "It doesn't matter what solution you get to the physics problem. The important thing is to get a solution." "It doesn't matter how you store your meat. The important thing is to store it somehow."
If God does exist - something the game show hosts purport to believe - then he has certain true characteristics, he truly did certain things in history, etc. Different religions have different, contradictory ideas about this. Ergo, all but one of them, or all of them, contain falsehoods. And believing falsehoods isn't something we should be apathetic about. - Lavarock, on 07/04/2009, -4/+78"We don't approve of anyone being an atheist. God is great and it doesn't matter which religion you believe in. The important thing is to believe"
Oops, buddhists don't have gods. - Dream0Weaver, on 07/04/2009, -2/+57They'll probably just bribe the participants to appear converted.
- acceleration, on 07/04/2009, -3/+56You mean spell cheques?
- Kapitaine, on 07/04/2009, -0/+52Spoken like a true Atheist.
I LOVE IT! - chrisinsocalif, on 07/04/2009, -1/+49Be funny if the Atheist converted the panel.
- Drahkir, on 07/04/2009, -2/+44Perhaps they were really referring to those that worship the Aether.
- r3m1x645, on 07/04/2009, -0/+41So it's a comedy show?
- InfinitySnatch, on 07/04/2009, -0/+39As hard as it would be to convert someone who was religious, on a talk show, I think it'd be even harder to convert an atheist.
- angryfirelord, on 07/04/2009, -1/+39Yo dawg...
- DouglasQ, on 07/04/2009, -1/+38Priest Wars?
- Drahkir, on 07/04/2009, -0/+33@Kapitaine I try my best. Atheism is generally VERY misunderstood.
- pinkfish411, on 07/04/2009, -1/+33I didn't know religions had religions.
- boydrew, on 07/04/2009, -2/+33some Buddhist sects do have a belief system which includes a deity.
- InfinitySnatch, on 07/04/2009, -4/+35Your parents are atheists but you're religious?
What a tweezt! - inactive, on 07/04/2009, -1/+31Really, I don't even understand why it's "important to believe in something". No it isn't.
- atarijedi, on 07/04/2009, -18/+48If they fail, they execute the atheist.
- bratterscain, on 07/04/2009, -1/+30In the real world, Atheism converts you.
- spriggig, on 07/04/2009, -1/+28Owned.
- yocouchdigga, on 07/04/2009, -0/+27trip to CERN to visit the LHC?
- glendower, on 07/04/2009, -0/+27Make sure to go at night. You dont want to fry!
- spriggig, on 07/04/2009, -0/+26The show is as rigged as any other "reality" show. There WILL be at least one "convert".
- inactive, on 07/04/2009, -0/+24If I convert to the ancient egyptian god Ra, can I get a trip to the sun?
- Bartboy919, on 07/04/2009, -3/+26Who wants a bet Buddhism would win every time.
- Drahkir, on 07/04/2009, -0/+22Your secret is safe with me.
- inactive, on 07/04/2009, -1/+23How in the world could atheist parents have a religious child? Were you dropped on your head or something?
- WeirdEdsel, on 07/04/2009, -2/+22Was she hot?
- malex, on 07/04/2009, -0/+19In Buddhism, you don't have to believe in any God/s, but you can if you like. It's kinda awesome that way.
- spriggig, on 07/04/2009, -0/+19Obviously the show will be rigged. At least one of the "atheists" is a ringer, and most of the rest are likely recently converted, weak atheists no matter what they claim. Sadly, they aren't quite stupid enough to put on a Richard Dawkins or even a Penn Jillette, that'd be TV worth watching.
- frieddonuts, on 07/04/2009, -0/+18I really have no problem with people being "converted," if it's of their own free will. I'm actually interested if any of the conversions will be successful.
- Feener, on 07/04/2009, -2/+20I might pretend to be converted just for a free trip to Tibet.
- inactive, on 07/04/2009, -1/+19America needs to deport brain dead deniers to Turkey to be cheerleaders for the religious wackos on this gameshow.
- Drahkir, on 07/04/2009, -2/+20If you're not atheist now, you never were.
- Drahkir, on 07/04/2009, -0/+18@Kosh To even further clarify: I didn't say that atheists/scientists weren't trying to disprove the existence of any God either. Scientists, by nature, seek the truth in whatever form it may be in. I only said that atheists have not claimed to have positively proven that God doesn't exist; any real atheist will acknowledge the remote, even if ridiculous, possibility. Even Dawkins himself said on a scale of 1 to 7 (7 being absolutely 100% certain that there is no God) he'd be a 6.9, merely to acknowledge that no one can prove beyond the shadow of a doubt that something does not exist.
- fightingforair, on 07/04/2009, -1/+19Digg users are the worse actually. Always typing blah blah blah. Pedo bear this, troll that, its a trap this. ***** you all.
-Another digg user. - fightingforair, on 07/04/2009, -1/+18No, Roddenberry is my god thank you very much.
- howcansheslap, on 07/04/2009, -1/+18A trip to the library
- WhiskeyLemur, on 07/04/2009, -0/+16I'm agnostic and I *do* blame religious folks for proselytizing. I don't understand what scenario they're imagining: do they think that there is a *single* person out there who, when proselytized to, stops and says in all seriousness "Wow, I've never heard of this 'religion' thing before! Who is this 'Christ' person? Tell me more!!"
Yeah, they think they hold the monopoly on X rewards in the afterlife. But really - do they honestly think that there's someone who hasn't yet gotten the memo?
It's intrusive and it's obnoxious - in college these people used to block entrances to our lecture halls (public university, mind you!!) a couple of times a year. They would accost you on the way in and out of every building. Now I get hassled by old women when I'm waiting for my train at 6:30am. Gee, I think if you annoy me SOME MORE, maybe I'll find God! Yeah, THAT sounds like a plan! - emaf37, on 07/04/2009, -1/+16Maybe it'll be the Turkish equivalent of the Japanese game show skit with Chris Farley where they cut off a finger if you get a question wrong.
- Cartman86, on 07/04/2009, -2/+17Or believe none of them are right and just think "Hey you know what? It's impossible to know for sure if god exists and it's an interesting concept, but we have no real evidence, so I certainly choose not to believe in any specific god".
- detcade, on 07/04/2009, -3/+17This show shouldn't work either
- 4answer2, on 07/04/2009, -2/+15Those wacky Turks!
- ZenMojo, on 07/04/2009, -0/+13No, it would still be Atheist, since it comes from atheos, not aetheos, like etheos.
- yocouchdigga, on 07/04/2009, -2/+14So is your comment ***** retarded or ***** Retarded?
I know it's one of the two... -
