Shock! WPost Says Bible Game Show "Dull"

By Rick Pearcey • August 24, 2012, 01:10 PM

For what it's worth, Hank Stuever writes:

GSN’s new game show, “The American Bible Challenge,” is just as dull as it sounds, like mandatory fun time at Sunday school, with three teams competing to answer arcane questions about details buried in the verses of the Old and New Testaments. . . . 

But why does this sort of thing have to be dull? For as long as there has been television, there have been pastors, priests, ministers and flocks who have deeply desired to translate the energy and excitement of their beliefs to the secular airwaves. . . . 

And yet, for some reason, church services make for the least exciting programming in all of creation, even when jazzed up with everything from puppets to Christian rock to tears that streak the mascara. The same is true in the music and movie industries -- entertainment is just stubbornly secular.

Rubbish, Mr. Stuever, that is, for example, if you would agree that human sexuality contains significant moments of entertainment. You see, a strong case can be made that sex is God's idea. Sounds kinda "spiritual."

In any case, now that the secularists over at WPost have had their comforting stereotypes dutifully reinforced, it's time for their journalists and other activists to get back to making the world safe for a non-America America (that would be an America alienated from its mainstream definition as given in the Declaration of Independence). 

I will admit that I don't see many gamehows these days. Nevertheless, I do hope "The American Bible Challenge" has a category for "What Obama doesn't know about the Bible." Or, contra Mr. Stuever, a category on how "Biblical Thoughtforms Influenced the Declaration and Constitution."

That concept might have interested King George. I know it's gotten the attention of the secular faithful.

They may tell you that it's an unentertaining, boring concept. Which is why they're always talking about it.
