Certain Turkish authorities are not amused.

    I can still play the atheist. (I’m wondering the approach a Buddhist would take. “When you’re tired of listening, come over here and relax a bit.”)
    I can see this coming to the States. Maybe a new FOX program or USA Network.
    I’m wondering what kind of prize the unconverted would get. If ultimate salvation was the big prize, I wonder what sort of “consolation prize” would go to the unbeliever.
    PEEPS! A truckload of Seasonal Peeps!

    • You’re brilliant. And I wondered about the Buddhist in the mix, too. “All is suffering. Join me?” I never met an evangelical Buddhist and I’m not sure I want to.

  2. That should be interesting!
    Great timing! I just alerted my friend who just happens to be heading to Turkey later today!
