Atheism and Religion in Deal or No Deal

Ugh, I can’t stand that show. The false drama irks me. There’s no drama there. You have a case with some amount, and the banker’s formula almost always generates some amount that’s a little better than the average of the remaining cases.

Your best bet is to ride it to the end. There doesn’t need to be any drama. If you’re quick at arithmetic, you might spot a better place to drop out, but it’ll be near the end game.

This is why I’d never get past the audition process. They select the most easily excitable people to play. Seriously, their contestants must jump up and down and scream every time the microwave dings.

As a person of faith- I would say that a “getting something out of the box at the end” is a fraudulent, fake, foolish, demonic, deadly faith. Christians see the fraud in the “72 virgins piety” while not seeing the “plank in their own eyes.” [It is human to be blind to one’s own blindness.]

So… Any so-called faith that does not result in generosity, grace, mercy, forgiveness, love and sacrificial service toward others is crap. I give thanks for atheists who expose this fraud.

Of course, where we differ is that there is such a thing as genuine faith.

Duh-sciple

I know someone who worked on the show when it came through Canada a year or so ago. The “banker” was a computer program that spewed out a number after every case was opened. The producers would take this number and raise it or lower it depending on whether or not they wanted to get rid of the contestant.
