Eddyfication

A Turkish TV station has a new gameshow that features a representative from each of the world’s major religions attempting to persuade ten atheists to join their respective flocks.  If any of the atheists turn to the dark side, they are “rewarded” with a pilgrimage to their religion of choice’s home field (e.g. Mecca for Islam, Jerusalem for Judaism, etc.).  The icing on the cake, of course, are the ethereal benefits of salvation.

Here’s hoping this becomes a huge hit and that some stateside station picks it up and Americanizes it a la American Idol from the U.K.’s X Factor.  And that the religious judges turn out to be huge reality TV stars hounded by papparrazzi as they leave Starbucks and make for their newly-bought Lamborghinis.
