	John Safran vs God - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		John Safran vs God was an 9 part television documentary series by John Safran broadcast on the Special Broadcasting Service (SBS) of Australia in 2004.
		John visits a Jewish gun advocate and rabbi in Los Angeles, in a bid to show that the American gun lobby consists of more than fundamental Christians.
		Safran had appeared in several radio and television plug spots for the show post-production pre-screening, and only briefly mentioned the exorcism episode as a very intense segment to film.

	John vs. God
		John Safran has trained to be a monk at a Japanese Zen Buddhist temple, and infiltrated the Freemasons.
		John Safran: We thought, 'everyone thinks like we think, we’ve all moved on, and it’s kind of quaint that people believe in religion, but you know, it’s not really relevant, everyone’s like us aren’t they', but I’ve been all around the world to film the show, and pretty much no-one is like secular Australia.
		John Safran: Yes, Haiti was quite extreme, like not in a religious sense, but obviously as anyone watching the news a few months ago see, it’s always just about to break out in anarchy, so it was quite scary kind of behind the scenes.

	John vs. God
		John Safran vs. God is an eight-part examination of mainstream creeds, fringe cults and quasi-religious organisations for SBS.
		This last individual seems to lead John all the way to a personal conversion, but it’s hard to take seriously the affirmations of Australia’s most ingenious prankster – especially when his renewal doesn’t seem to have affected the post-production of the rest of the series.
		John is totally absorbed with evaluating what the various denominations say a person must do to draw near to God, but spends no time considering what God has done.

	John Safran:
		JOHN SAFRAN: In Malawi, as in many countries in Africa, there's widespread belief in animism, and recently, one manifestation of this belief system has been speculation that members of the government are, in fact, vampires.
		JOHN SAFRAN: Yeah, but I reckon a lot of those people would really...they're operating under the premise no-one's gonna ask them any questions whatsoever about what their belief system is, and as soon as someone does ask...
		JOHN SAFRAN: This is the President of the Zionist Federation of Australia, Ron Weiser, the Deputy Chairman of the Australian Arab Communities Council, Fayez Lababedi, President of the Executive Council of Australian Jewry, Jeremy Jones, and Palestinian activist, Jamal Daoud, and I thought I'd bring them together for a celebrity-backed peace plan.

		John travels to the UK Shariah court to find out - and he chooses an unlikely Australian rival as his proposed fatwa-ee.
		Next John takes a spirit walk in Arizona with the Peyote Way Church of God, and ingests the sacred Peyote drug in an attempt at divine insights into the universe.
		In the most compelling episode of the series, John Safran is forced to face his demons by Christian exorcist and fundamental preacher, Bob Larson.

		He’s joking, but Safran does give seven faiths an almost serious sampling in the Religious Road Tests (and in the last episode he gets exorcised, which he said was “definitely weird” because he “kind of got into it”).
		Safran said a few seconds will be cut but, with typical chutzpah, admitted he’s never seen the original footage.
		Safran’s high-pitched voice and amateur delivery remains irritating, and he’s least effective when speaking direct to camera at show’s end: proving an undergraduate air of cranky is no substitute for comic timing.

	Australian Television: John Safran vs God: articles
		As John Safran points out in his excellent new TV series on religion, most atheists are unable to explain why the Big Bang theory is more rational than Genesis and are therefore as guilty of blind faith as the next pigeon sacrificer.
		John Safran Versus God (it could be retitled John Safran’s Religious Jamboree) builds on the same themes (and the same grab-bag of tactics) seen since Safran’s Race Around the World days, from ambush-journalism to satirically charged reportage, delivered in his trademark whiny rant.
		Safran is front and centre in his universe and the success of the show depends on whether his outre personality amuses or rankles.

		Safran visits a radical extreme Muslim cleric to see if he will place a fatwa on the head of a popular Australian television identity.
		Safran confesses to, as a young man, masturbating in the bed of a Catholic priest - and is forgiven by the very priest whose bed he slept in.
		The sins of Safran are finally dealt with in the dramatic series finale, when John has his demons cast out in a bizarre but perhaps necessary Christian exorcism.

	Sophie Cunningham: John Safran Vs. God & Indira Gandhi: The Killing of Mother India
		According to the American Charismatic Preacher, Bob Larson, John Safran is a breeding ground for the devil and as an exorcist, Larson's the man who can cleanse him.
		The result is that the final episode of John Safran Vs. God (SBS, 9.30 p.m, Monday) becomes the most extraordinary half hour of television you might ever see.
		Inspired by Safran's self referential style I would like to quote my first review of this show: 'You, John Safran, are a funny and smart guy, but the only spirit you're ever going to get is the holy spirit of the AFL.

		John Safran is one of my most favourite Australian faces in tv.
		Safran would be safe if he had kids with a non-jewish woman (racially and religiously)..
		Freaky episode, even scared me as did John Safran who was unlike himself, perhaps he stopped after he went through this crazy ordeal.

		Here is the link to an interview done with Safran before the series was released - if you saw the episode and was intrigued, I’d encourage you to read this.
		John Safran: Well definitely like when I look back at it, I don’t remember a lot of it, and also anyone who knows me, indeed anyone who watches the show can just look at my face, and there’s just all this stuff that just doesn’t go on in any other stories

		Safran's also been doing Sunday and Saturday arvo's lately on triple j and was talking up the last episode on Saturday, but his comments then seem to be much the same as those in his interview with Rachel Kohn.
		Safran framed this episode totally differently from the other ones, and the impact on the viewer would have been, I would anticipate,quite different from other episodes.
		For example, that Safran could bluff an English Islamic leader to declare a Fatwa on Rove McManus should not be seen as a great win for the anti-Islamic lobby, but merely an interesting data point about one individual and the influence of the media.

		Was just checking where some of my hits originated, and discovered that 11 of my last 22 hits are a result of people searching for info or thoughts on the John Safran exorcism which was aired on SBS last night as the last episode in the John Safran vs God series.
		While we may question the extremes of aspects of Larson, and while we may be uncertain of Safran's "conversion" (who are we to judge that?), I don't doubt the reality of the demonic or the validity of exorcism (Jesus cast out demons).
		Safran's past undoubtedly created a gateway for the entry of demons and exorcism is an appropriate step.

		Safran did not win, but was the most popular by miles due to the things he got up to such as streaking naked through the centre of Jerusalem or adding an Iran doll to a Disneyland ride.
		John pitches a film idea to Mormon film producers; Road Test - Voodooism in Haiti (this is not for the faint of heart and even John looks petrified and horrified); John visits a group called Jews for Guns and takes the p*** out of Michael Moore and ends the episode with a very funny diatribe.
		John tries to get the curse on Aussie Soccer lifted by a witchdoctor (this is gross and involves John being covered in chicken blood); John buys Mormon underwear and reveals its secrets (great story); John discusses the Bible Code books and religious boycotts.

		In his new television series, John Safran travels to London to convince a "fundementalist Muslim cleric" to "put a fatwa on Rove McManus," among other faith-based antics.
		In a discursive, sometimes fascinating series, Safran occasionally diverts from strict religious organizations to try to get the Klu Klux Klan to admit him as a member because he is only "half Jewish" or to uncover some of the secrets of Freemasonry.
		The series veers between comedy and the realm of the more serious documentary as Safran prods at the contentious and humorous aspects of spiritual belief.Gotta love his tactics in prompting the fatwa on Rove's head -- that is, presenting "ridiculously doctored images...
