Yet when asked to prove it, she constantly refuses. In fact, when she was pressed during a taping of the Larry King Live show, by world famous skeptic, James Randi, she agreed.
Well and good but despite changing the conditions of the test to suit her, she STILL hasn't found the time to come down and submit to the test SHE HERSELF said she would.
It's been 271 weeks since she agreed. You'd think she could have found ONE day to go down there.
The fact that she hasn't is further proof that she is a fraud and a liar like all such "psychics".

That is the story, along with a quicktime movie of Sylvia agreeing, on national TV to submit to the test.

I can certainly respect an educated debate as well as those on opposing sides of the issue. However what I fail to understand is why many seem to lash out at Christians beliefs as if offended by them. I dont see why Christian beliefs bother others. How can a religion that encourages such acts as turn the other cheek and love thy neighbor make some so angry? Why insult their beliefs? Just my opinion.

on Real Stories, everything is proved historically speaking. - People could say it was written by "Men" so what are you trying to say?? just because it was written by humans does not mean anything , The Bible confronts the Human Behavior!! God Inspired people to write it, so now one could have an excuse!!

That's Why in the Judgment Day, God is going to judge according by the bible.

example: this World say Homosexuality is o.k but

The bible explain that it's a sin. o.k

so any gay/lesbian before God in that day, will not have any excuse, because God is going to answer according to his word" he'll say :it was written in my Word. and you knew it.

so The Bible was written by men but inspired by God.

i see these questions, "if athiests dont believe in christ why do they celebrate christmas"

now i have to ask, if christians are so against paganism and such, why do they take their holliday and traditions?

note: any biblical scholar will tell you that jesus was not even born in december

note: the tree, the holly, the mistletoe, the giving of presents, and the eating ham are all from the pagan celebration

note: december 25th is the date that was believed to be the winter solstice, and thus celebrated for their god whos name meant "unconquered sun". it was celebrated because this is the shortest day, and the day that the sun proved itself unconquered.

so why do christians mix their religion/tradition with pagan religion/tradition?

I read that in the Catholic Encyclopedia this;
The New Catholic Encyclopedia acknowledges: “The date of Christ’s birth is not known. The Gospels indicate neither the day nor the month . . . According to the hypothesis suggested by H. Usener . . . and accepted by most scholars today, the birth of Christ was assigned the date of the winter solstice (December 25 in the Julian calendar, January 6 in the Egyptian), because on this day, as the sun began its return to northern skies, the pagan devotees of Mithra celebrated the dies natalis Solis Invicti (birthday of the invincible sun). On Dec. 25, 274, Aurelian had proclaimed the sun-god principal patron of the empire and dedicated a temple to him in the Campus Martius. Christmas originated at a time when the cult of the sun was particularly strong at Rome.”—(1967), Vol. III, p. 656.

Which raises my question, “why do people change the date of Jesus’ birthday, and then celebrate it on a pagan holiday?”

If not everybody knows this, the Catholics should, this quote is out of their encyclopedia! I can’t believe God would except this, rather I believe it would be the biggest blunder of mankind and very upsetting to Him! We are tying His Son to paganism!

Is there anybody else who feels an absolute joy and sense wonder and fulfillment when learning about the true scientific reasons for the how the universe and everything that is in it came to be ?

Do you feel an immense sense of wonder and amazement when you contemplate the sky at night and marvel at all we have learnt about our orgins and existance and all that there is still to know ?

Finally do you think that this joy and wonder is far superior to simply accepting ancient dogmatic myths as a way of explaining the world around us

some one asked this a few questions below and kept receiving unintelligable answers. I'm interested as well, so i'm going to back up her question with a verse: "Then the lord said to the serpant, "because you have doen thsi you are cursed more than all animals, domsetic and wild. You will crawl on your belly, groveling in the dust as long as you live. etc." Gen. 3:14-

yes, it does say the serpent was punished in the bible. that eliminates atleast half of my companions question's answers. now let's be serious here folks.

Jesus spent a few hours, maybe a day, in agonizing pain; but it was no greater pain than millions of others have suffered. If Jesus really is God, then He knew exactly what was happening, and exactly how long it would last. When it was done, He supposedly ascended to heaven and became the all-powerful ruler of the universe. This is infinitely greater compensation than even the faithful will receive, and infinitely less torture that the damned will receive.

So, how is this an appropriate sacrifice??

And strive in the cause of God as it behoves you to strive for it. He has chosen you and has laid no hardship upon you in the matter of religion; so follow the faith of your father Abraham; He has named you Muslims both before and in this Book, so that the Messenger may be a witness over you, and you may be witnesses over mankind. Therefore observe Prayer and pay the Zakaat, and hold fast to God. He is your Protector and an Excellent Protector and an Excellent Helper!

According to Amnesty International, more than 200 citizens have died after being tasered by the police. Many critics of tasers argue that tasers are being used on citizens very often and they are not being used as a last resort. In some cases, the police have tasered young children, senior citizens and citizens that have been sleeping. Type in the word "taser" on google, then search the news section and you will finf out that tasers are bing used to liberally on citizens.

Okay, so I just want to know why all the children making rude jesus and God questions hide their IM and Email? It dosen't make any sense to hide it all if you have a mouth big enough to spew out your opinion. Oh, wait, they must have already been in the chat rooms and got sick of being booted! So who Loves Jesus with me? Shout AMEN!
Oh, and I picked the title on purpose so the rude people would read it. I knew they couldn't pass this one up to say something!

I stumbled upon a blog that basically said that Fundamentalist Christians follow the Bible closer than the more Liberal Christians. He gives a link to a site with a video clip of Shirley Phelps-Roper where he says she wins a Biblical argument.

What are your thoughts?
