I have a paperclip. This would be great way to spread the faith. It would be a miracle.
Don't feel singled out. I plan on putting every mythological belief system to this same test.

And who would you be to test this all?
In attempting to give you a fair answer, the power of prayer is much more subtle and much more amazing than what you would like to see.
A true Muslim and a true Christian or a true Hindu would read your sentence and forgive you for your ignorance of the beauty and the message of all religions.
The real miracle lies in the forgiving. Are you able to forgive and repent for this kind of an assault on any faith?

Most likely not, because they don't believe they have the power to do so. and on top of that they probably don't think allah wants to move the paperclip to prove to you that he exists.
When you believe its possible it only takes practice to accomplish anything. The problem is.......Laziness and disbelief.

I don't know. Maybe asking for physical proofs from a spiritual system isn't a good way to test it? It's like using a metal detector to find unicorns, right?
Unless that system claims to be able to PRODUCE physical proofs. Then I guess it's fair to ask them to produce on demand. That makes sense.

Probably not!
Could all the Christians in the world, stop the sun from shining by praying?
Could all the Atheists in the world prove that there is no God?
Probably not!

I pray that putting my magnet under your table and moving my magnet an inch will be enough to move your paperclip an inch.

Plenty of atheists such as yourself (am I correct in assuming this?) have tried this, and plenty of theists have also tried their own, unsuccessful attempt at convincing people that they are correct. Personally, I think we should stop being so fundamentalist, and we might live in a better, more cooperative world.

Oh, you must be one of those Rational Skeptics, that thinks that if they can come up with some little brilliant logical thing they can point out, everyone else will suddenly look around, acknowledge your brilliance, and then realize we are all fools for thinking for ourselves, and decide to think just like you...my hero.

NO! And no other christian religion or let's have them all pray together and see if they can move a paper clip.

Not going to participate, get off your lazy hiney and move the paper clip yourself.

I'm guessing.... no.
Now, if all the Muslims in the world sneezed at the paper clip at once, they might have more effect. Sneezing is more effective than prayer, you know.
