The problem with any scientific study of God's reaction is that it assumes God doesn't know he's being studied.

"Dr. Benson said he would now seek $10 million in grants to explore whether fire can be called down from heaven to kindle a pile of wood. The control groups wood will be drenched in water to prevent combustion."
Nah. Just go to th Witch of Endor and have her call on Elijah. He'll call fire down from heaven...

I get the feeling we just spent 10 years looking through the wrong end of the telescope proctoscope.
I thought this was another article on the original study, not scrappleface's take on it. Fooled me completely.

Any comments on the title alone, or the article that follows? (I'm holding onto my hat because I feel a strom brewing.) :-)
To: Tarkin
wow ... i could have answered that without a lengthy study ... how can you manipulate an imaginary being?
To: Tarkin
How would they even know if they failed or didn't?

how can you manipulate an imaginary being?Quite easily. Judging from your gullibility you're easily manipulable and you are a figment of God's imagination.

No I consider it as not allowing myself to be brainwashed by tribal stories told around a camp fire 2000 years ago.

No I consider it as not allowing myself to be brainwashed by tribal stories told around a camp fire 2000 years ago.Your history and anthropology are way off.
Which is consistent with your willingness to be brainwashed by the nostrums of postmodern pop culture.

keep living in that closed minded existance.
