June 18, 2004 | ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) -- The management company that represents Britney Spears and 'N Sync is searching for a divine voice.

"Gifted,'' a Christian version of the popular American Idol TV show, is scheduled to debut in October on Trinity Broadcasting Network, the Costa Mesa, Calif.-based conglomerate that features such well-known evangelists as Benny Hinn.


The Orlando-based Wright Entertainment Group is part of a joint venture with Matt Crouch, son of the founders of Trinity Broadcasting Network, to create the talent-search show, Wright spokesman Philip McIntyre said.

Disclaimer: The following is not intended to insult real Christians... just the hypocritical creeps who masquerade as Christians.

Remember when Rock n Roll was Satanic, and drums were an African invitation to sexual intercourse?
Remember when Christians started riding Harleys and growing their hair long?
Remember when they hated The Simpsons and Roseanne, but they all watched them?

They're all virtuous... until they get caught! Just ask Hester Prynne.
