Starring Jeff Foxworthy!



Attractive contestants!



Tebow! (Okay no Tebow but still.)

The most popular book ever written really does have everything: sex, murder, love, war, prophecies, songs, treachery - and that's just the tip of the iceberg. What puzzles me, however, is that there hasn't been a game show that draws from the vast amount of information within the text itself. Well, the good people over at GSN have decided enough is enough and have created the American Bible Challenge, a game played by three teams of three who compete for charities of their choice. Everybody wins.

The American Bible Challenge is a spirited game show that will celebrate the Bible and its place in American culture. Bible enthusiasts from all across the country will compete in a variety of challenges that put their knowledge of the Good Book to the test.

Who here as a pretty solid knowledge of the bible and thinks they could keep up with the contestants?

[Woody Invincible]

Welp American Idol had a good run.

[Mariolee]

This is a great idea! What could GAF possibly have against this?! :D

[JABEE]

They should have a Lord of the Rings and Star Wars lore challenge as well.

[Majine]

Must make for a great gameshow.

[stutte]

I'd love to go on there as an Atheist, but it's been a while since I've read the bible.

[Takao]

They should have a Lord of the Rings and Star Wars lore challenge as well.

but beat the geek will be out of a show then

[Hylian7]

Turn this into a religious vs. non-religious team thing and you have a good show. Seriously.

[24FrameDaVinci]

They should have a Lord of the Rings and Star Wars lore challenge as well.

They are infusing the show with pop-culture questions so it's not strictly speaking "bible-only" trivia.

[Drago]

As a Christian, I think this is a pretty stupid idea.

Why have a show for this? :/

There should be a game show for general pop-culture knowledge, I'd watch that

[Wilsongt]

Welp American Idol had a good run.

Yep.

[Clydefrog]

I'd answer every question with "uhh.. Jesus?"

[Bolshevik]

Deuteronomy 23:1

No one whose testicles are crushed or whose male organ is cut off shall enter the assembly of the Lord.

looks like god answered the debate of cut vs. uncut. But what has he said about tipping? hmmmm

[danwarb]

Haven't read the bible. Is it any good? I like popular science books and sci-fi.

[WillyFive]

I'm guessing the questions will be carefully picked as to not offend any Christian denominations, and will be as simple as "who killed Abel" instead of anything deep.

Then again, Jeff Foxworthy also hosted "Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader" and that one was brutal.

[JGS]

That would be a dumbed down Jeopardy. So surely it's already been created.

I think this would be a good idea. There are tons of board games already.

I expect it to be a bit deeper (What was Cain & Abel's brother's name) but still easy for someone who has read it and not just motivated by a sermon referencing stuff.

[samus i am]

It is pretty clear that the old testament is for circumcision or are you trying to make a joke?

[PhoenixPause]

Could be interesting actually

[Spiffy_1st]

What if this is how Jesus comes back to Earth, via game show!

[ronito]

I would totally destroy the competition. And I'm not even christian.

[krioto]

What if this is how Jesus comes back to Earth, via game show!

Ok, now I'm interested.

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

Awww I want Tebow!

[Stumpokapow]

This is the only TV show I ever want to watch.

[SteveWinwood]

You need a new word. Laughable is the only one you know apparently.

I wasn't kidding.

and he's made a few since too http://neogaf.com/forum/showthread.p...=#post39904063

Edit: awww stumps no fun :P

[vicissitudes]

I'd love to see an Atheist destroy everyone on that show.

[Pop-O-Matic]

They already have a game show for general pop-culture knowledge. It's called every other quiz show ever.

The point of this damn this is to show to most Christians how they know jack shit about the Bible and their religion. Besides, the Bible is a pretty big book, so it should have a lot of good material for a quiz show like this.

[JGS]

I'd love to see an Atheist destroy everyone on that show.

It's likely to happen.

All the idiotic stuff that some of them nitpick over is sure to cover some of actual discussion found in the Bible.

EDIT: Case in point- http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost...2&postcount=13

[Bolshevik]

It is pretty clear that the old testament is for circumcision or are you trying to make a joke?

Just a joke lol. The bible contradicts it's self all the time and should never be used as justification for a position in any debate.

[bengraven]

Foxworthy: "In what verse did God say to stone your daughter to death if she were to have sex outside of marriage?!"

I'd love to see an Atheist destroy everyone on that show.

God wouldn't let that happen.

[Tesseract]

in what verse did austin whoop ass?

[Fusebox]

As a non-Christian I would find this show fascinating and I would watch it.

[danwarb]

God wouldn't let that happen.

Unless God, is an atheist.

[bengraven]

Unless God, is an atheist.

God is emo.

"I feel like I don't even exist..."

[Trent Strong]

I'd answer every question with "uhh.. Jesus?"

Je!...Jes!...don't you kids know anything? The Serpent of Rehaboam? The Well of Zohassadar? The Bridal Feast of Beth Chedruharazzeb?

[Cartman86]

Poor judges are going to have to constantly award points after the fact like Jeopardy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RB3g6mXLEKk.

[24FrameDaVinci]

Je!...Jes!...don't you kids know anything? The Serpent of Rehaboam? The Well of Zohassadar? The Bridal Feast of Beth Chedruharazzeb?

Flanders' freakout moment.

[samus i am]

I'm not religious myself so no worries!

[Johnny Cage In The Shower]

Will it have cute Christian girls?

[scottelite]

You can't get into heaven without success on this show.

[MintLemonade]

Your fascination with me is... interesting.










Single?

Also....

The main issue I have with American Christianity is that ignorance seems to be rewarded over knowledge. Education is looked down upon with disdain. Science is the work of witchcraft. Random occurrences are looked upon as miracles or gifts from "God". Fear is the go-to tool in order to keep the sheep in line as they spend countless dollars on the most successful brand the world has ever seen, Jesus H. Christ.

This populace has single handedly held an entire nation back from learning more about ourselves and has hampered our progress as a Homo sapient race as a whole.

We should be further along than we are...




Religion, because thinking is just too damn hard.

[Manos: The Hans of Fate]

Just a joke lol. The bible contradicts it's self all the time and should never be used as justification for a position in any debate.

Circumcison is also useful for taking over a ton and slaughtering the inhabitants.

I'm not single, but thanks for asking.

[Cisce]

They should bring Russell Allen to this show.

[Utako]

This reminds me of the Christian propaganda spam I saw the other day on Know Your Meme.

[bengraven]

I'm sure they'll have fantastic personalities.

[S.Dedalus]

A few years ago, VH1 did The World Series of Pop Culture. It was like a huge three-on-three tournament about, you guessed it, pop culture. It was actually pretty cool. I wish they'd do it again.

[scottelite]

When an image macro reaches this point, it is done.

[MintLemonade]

One huge thing I forgot to mention is the political hatred American Christianity seems to instill in all of its followers...

The American Christian: This story is being featured on AC360 as I Type This Now




This is why religion is...

...laughable.

[Cartman86]

When an image macro reaches this point, it is done.

It's like fucking Christian Rock.

[24FrameDaVinci]

I've read it a few times before throughout school, might give it another go.
