Reality Shows to Escape Reality

The 2007 series of Indonesian Idol will soon begin just as American Idol enters its final episodes. But Indonesians have long dismissed the value of this reality show as an effective way of spotting talent. It doesn't reflect reality so much as help people escape it.

Anju Chandel, New Delhi, India:

Ditto is the scene in India as well !

By: Jacob Jozefs et al:

The best Reality TV show, for our times, is to have a round table of Religion thinkers & representatives, and each of them should go over each;

Word by word, sentence, by sentence, Sura by Sura, phrase, by Phrase, here alittle there alittle.

And start with the first pages of your INFIXUS BOOKS (Tenach, Holy Bible, Glorius Koran, Gita & Buddah et al.). this pertains to the five (5) Major Faiths, beliefs or Religious SYSTEMS on Space-Ship Earth.

EXAMPLE: On the "Religions Reality ShoW" via "FAITH-EXCHANGING" & the "VOTARY EXCHANGE"

So, Lady and gentleman of the HUMATE World: "First
Question" to debate honorably & righteously:

How was the Earth Created? How long? How Did Man & Women Appear? etcc...

Then and only then, when Those sentences are answered, in the Superstitious or in the Reality. thgat answer shall be a valid part of the New UNIVERSAL BOOK OF REALITY for any faith & g=d loving Humate that needs Peace, Love. Happyness & Good long lives. Without the PRE-APOCALYPTI infighting or killing over a name for OUR G-d not anyone Humate in particular nor via any Human becoming G-d in flesh Form.

Ya Ya. I'll cast my vOTE on the CRUX of the question and the matter at hand via WWW, Cell Or homephone. NOTE: Ity would best be held in the UNITED NATIONS Floor for ALL The World to See & hence Agree in the Comparences.

Then and onlt then will there be WORLD PEACEW & HEALING OF THE NATIONs with a One World Government & Religion SYSTEM! Ya Mom. Ya. :=)/

Wa A Salaam. Sholom! Peace!
