... men discerning the priesthood: 'God or the Girl,' A& E's Faith-Based Initiative
I can't say I'm crazy about the title. It implies that you can't be a real Christian if you are married. It's not really that kind of choice either. But anyway, it sounds pretty solid and the participants seem like they want to do it for the right reasons.
"The guy that first approached me, I did everything that I could to get him to get off my back, but he kept coming at me with his message of what they really wanted to portray,'' one of the participants, Steve Horvath, told the critics. He says he was told "they wanted to portray the truth."
Horvath said he reached his decision to participate by "taking that to prayer every day and realizing that this isn't about me trying to gain popularity or stardom or anything, but this is about my life and my life is about God and being a witness."
"So it came down to, if this is even remotely what he says it is and this is an opportunity for me to portray my life on camera -- it came in the faith," he said.
Another participant, Dan DeMatte, said he hoped the people who watched "Temptation Island" will watch the five-part series "because it will blow their minds.
"You have this world of sin and lust, giving over to your body, versus the world of dying to yourself and serving the Lord every second," he continued. "So, if they tune in, then . . . reality TV has served its purpose and God's triumphant again. It's funny how that works."
