			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I would say &#8220;Set your DVRs for <em><a href="http://www.screenjunkies.com/tv/tv-news/if-you-support-mitt-romney-you-might-be-a-redneck/" target="_blank">American Bible Challenge</a></em> on Game Show Network tomorrow night!&#8221; but if you are the type of person that watches Bible <a href='http://www.screenjunkies.com/tag/game-shows/' class='linkify' target='_blank'>game shows</a>, then you probably don&#8217;t own a DVR, so just make sure you&#8217;re infront of your 1989 Magnavox TV when it airs tomorrow.</p>
<p>(That&#8217;s right, I implied that enthusiastic Christians are more likely to own outdated televisions. Do your worst.)</p>
<p>The show is pretty much just what it sounds like, as three teams answer questions about the Bible in a family-friendly setting. It&#8217;s so innocuous and good-willed (they give their winnings to charity) that it&#8217;s hard to make fun of the show without seeming like a total dick.</p>
<p>But I&#8217;ll consider that my &#8220;Bible Challenge.&#8221; Here we go&#8230;</p>
<p>The show seems to get hit by traffic going both ways, as it&#8217;s clearly marketed towards Christians, but doesn&#8217;t get particularly religious out of a fear of upsetting anyone. The show fails to grasp that anyone watching a Bible game show is either a devout Christian that won&#8217;t be offended by religious overtones or a total masochist, so either way, the show would really be better served by acknowledging, &#8220;Hey. You know who really likes the Bible? Overbearing Christians. Let&#8217;s cater to them.&#8221;</p>
<p>I&#8217;m just waiting for the episode where the smug atheist Religious Studies major runs the board, then gives all his winnings to GLAAD.</p>
