    Through all of recorded history, religion has played a part in war.  As our ancestors began to walk upright, they started to wonder about the amazing world around them.  As time went on, they began to contemplate the cosmos.  And because they didn't have an understanding of the science around them, they developed and assigned various mythologies with assuring explanations.  And just a couple of minutes later, they started fighting about which one was right.  And it hasn't stopped yet.  In fact, it seems to be increasing as more nations find themselves being ran by religious zealots.  (Iran and America are two good examples)  and the world is far less equipped to handle the strife as more nations acquire nuclear weapons capability.  

    So what can we do?  How about a reality tv show?  When I saw the AC contest, I knew I saw the answer staring me in the face.  Put 'em on an island, and let 'em sort it out.  Let each major religion pick a team.  Well, maybe not the Buddhists or Wiccans, they seem pretty mello-so just the "hell raising' ones.  Christian, Muslim, Jew, Hindu, any religion that is involved in strife or persecution anywhere in the world would be required to compete.  So instead of thousands of people being killed in religious wars, we can contain the loss to a few of the most ardently nutty.  

Takeaways
  • Fundamentalist Survivor instead of Religious Warfare!
  • There would be only one rule, those who survive, win!
  • Billions could be made in advertising dollars!

I love it. Only one thing, add a few of the wiccans/neopagans to the listing, there are as many fundies in there, proportionally, as any other religion. This is coming from one of them.

Jeff, this is an amazingly BOLD and fresh idea! It takes the entire topic out the the HEAVY SERIOUSNESS of it all and raises it to the game level. This is much lighter and a great deal more FUN!

Jeff, I love this idea. It should be the subject of your next kick ass book!

Actually, I think putting a Wiccan on the island is a pretty good idea. It would drive the Christian insane! This is one reality show I would actually watch.
