TREASURE HUNTERS WE LIKEY: The Lovely Bride and I are hooked on a new television offering that is being offered only for the summertime - NBC's "Treasure Hunters" . And since one of the groups on the show is carrying their Christianity on their sleeve I feel compelled to weigh in on their methods. Plus - who COULDN'T feel for the Grad Students group tonight as they overcame a busted ankle, carrying their teammate to complete the round. One other question though - since the Brown Family  got eliminated, why did they appear on next week's promo?

If you haven't seen either of the first two episodes here's the basic concept. Ten teams start out trying to find a treasure but first they must find all the clues. So far they have found a map and a compass. The trek is taking them through some historic sites, Mt. Rushmore and the Montana Pass of Lewis and Clark for starters.

The organized teams are somewhat random of how they were put together and each of them certainly have different strengths. One is composed of Ex-AirForce , one is ExCIA , one is MissUSA contestants , three of them are families, and the rest are a strange combination of friends titled, Grad Students , Geniuses , and Southies .

Tonight the Grad Students, which is a team of three girls, had to overcome a near twenty mile canoe trip, find decoding documents, travel over land to yet another location - a mountain, decode a sign, look under black rocks and find a compass. All of the teams had to do this but the Grad Student girls had to do so with one of theirs overcoming a busted ankle. Which they did - and did so before the rather hickish "Wild Hanlon " family did the same - with three healthy members.

The Fogals is one of the other families - and they are the hyper-Christians on the show. They pray at every turn, and they are saying, "Praise God," and "let's pray" at every turn. One small problem - they are turning out to be real creeps. In the canoe portion they complained about not being able to carry their canoe - another team took pity on them and helped. They then all get into the river where the Fogals deceived the team that had helped them and took off gaining a huge lead after pledging cooperation for the other team's help. The remaining teams then began verbing the Fogals name as a euphemism for another word starting with "F", and a verb meaning to "work one over" for lack of a better way to say it.

The Fogals are a national embarrassment to Christians and Christianity and though they are making an ultra big deal about God and the number of times they are praying on the broadcast, in reality they are playing the game in a most underhanded, lazy, and very immoral way.

It is incumbent upon us who are true Christians to denounce the Fogals methods and to embrace the true Christ-like attitudes which were far better displayed by a team literally carrying their third member for miles, rather than lie, cheat, and steal to try to score a win in the second round.
