    I am not crazy about the religious relativism this tv special implies, but it sure beats the Jesus Seminar crud that is the usual Christmas/Holy Week TV fair.

    Since there are twelve of them, this is an ideal opportunity for a playoff.

    I say the top four (the Pope, the Ayatollah, the Dalai Lama and a rabbi) get a bye on the first week and wait to play the winners of match-ups between the bottom eight. The top four are chosen by size of following and/or antiquity.

    Watch out for Alexy II of Moscow! He is classed in the bottom eight but he’s a tough, doughty fighter who is sure to advance in this series. Look for the Dalai Lama to make a quick exit after the second round, no matter who he ends up fighting.

    The Final Four will meet in a neutral, non-religious place (I’m thinking Massachusetts or wherever the ECUSA is meeting) to battle for ownership of six billion souls!

    Make a “pray off” instead of a “play off” and your golden.

    Someone should tell the Curt Jester about this…

    I would put some GOOD money on A2 - something about KGB training just puts points in your favor! (Not that Father J and I are allowed to discuss that dimension of his life in SOME forums we participate in….)

    I laughed out loud.
