Here we see Ben pretending to pray to Allah in his Muslim act. In Bens mind he is actually thinking, "How long will the cameraman keep rolling?" From the Amazon Pygmies Capture Story to Mythology Fantasy Characters to the ultimate insult using False Religion to win a TV Game Show. The Fiction Life of Benjamin Coach Cult Wade. Little does everyone know Ben Wades power actually come from a lucky Rabbits-Foot he got as a child from an advertisement in a Zeus vs. Spiderman comic Book that he keeps in his pocket.

"God" has always been a huge factor in Survivor, way back to the early days of Australia's holy-rollers (Dirk was considered pretty much a nuisance and didn't have that much impact). Don't blame Survivor, blame the shitty culture of the United States. I'm an American, don't flame me

That's a whole new kind of weird to inject into a freakin game show.

Of course it's going to unfortunately seep its way into a game where a cross-section of American citizens (or at least technically that's what it's supposed to be) are living with each other. Personally, I'm an Atheist so I would have went crazy being around that excessive prayer shit all the time.

I was raised Christian and I'm not really sure whether or not I believe in god or not, but I would have absolutely no problem with people praying and such to get them through the day on the island, trying to find strength or whatever it does for them. But using prayer to justify voting the way you want (Coach) and all-but forcing people to pray with you in a way that actually goes against the Bible is pretty disgusting.

God doesn't play a SINGLE bit of a factor in survivor... if you all don't realize that god/religion is a survivor tool, just like lying about your occupation, or grandma, then I don't know how to break it to you. It's a tool.. a brilliant tool at times, but can backfire. It's all about playing your position against the tribe you're presented with. So it's a tool then? Your post was kind of vague. of course it's a tool... do you think brandon rallies his family together in a hand-holding circle in the kitchen, everytime he runs off to work, goes grocery shopping, takes a shit, hangs christmas lights? do you think albert sings the praises of jesus to his co-workers? is matt at reunion shows clutching a pink bible? it's tool used in survivor to pander to your tribemates, and if you ramp it up appropriately towards the end, can certainly secure jury favor... lest you play the hand wrong, which coach is dangerously approaching. I was fucking with you because you said TOOL three times.

I have actually been imagining this in my head already, along with Sophie hopefully saying she had to adapt to being in a tribe full of insane wannabe Christians. I could definitely see Jim, Keith, or Whitney doing this

What really caught me was the ep where Coach's tribe won and he literally hooked an arm around a female (and it might have been Brendon who did it, now that I think about it) and HAULED them bodily into a prayer circle to give thanks for winning. I posted at the time that if that had been done to me - well, I'd probably have been voted out because I wouldn't have stood for it.

When people start saying that God is getting involved in real life mundane situations with semi-sentient apes on some miniscule planet, especially in a competitive, potentially "morally compromising" situation like Survivor, things start to get ugly and unpleasant. Now you can defer the things that you do consciously or subconsciously to this God, and avoid the responsibility yourself, and convince yourself that what you do is right. Favorite post I've ever read here.

Jesus knows what you are writing in this thread and the Virgin Mary is going to rape you with a votive candle when you die. Because Jesus is going to tell her. And then she'll be so pissed that she'll rape you. With a candle. Because you talked shit about God on Survivor Sucks. Stop it.
