Explain to me the purpose of any supernatural belief system that can't move a freakin paper clip. Every religion claims its own miracles and magic. You ask them to step up and they punk out.
Always excuses. Christians, muslims, all of them can't get their god to move one paperclip and prove that the magic is real.
Why is that?

I make atheists look ignorant. They claim belief in the power of prayer. I proposed a simple test. God can cure cancer but he doesn't move paperclips?

Because it's a stupid premise that makes the rest of us atheists look ignorant?

Edit, yes it does make us atheists look ignorant, just like the ID / Creation Museum crowd make Christians look ignorant.
If you really want to make them think, why would you play into their own worldview? Similar challenges to yours are found in numerous places in the Gospel. The temptation of Jesus in the desert, the Pharisee's challenges to Jesus. That's how obvious your challenge is, it was written about in the bible 1800+ years ago! And you think your challenge is clever?
If you really want to make them think, first you have to think. In order to be understood, first seek to understand.

Might be why God created J.K. Rowland who started out as a supposedly simple Scottish lass and taught the children as well as some of us older folk of more than one nation to first learn the magick of reading and instructed us in the use of several other useful spells as well. Perhaps it takes a certain "bend of the mind," as they say fondly in a religion you haven't mentioned to perform telekentic acts and let the chips and clips fall where they may. Looks like everyone is praying to the same God anyway, but magical powers are usually conferred upon those willing to study even after their first successful attempt.

Because its not magic its God. And no one can force God to do something that He does not want to do. He'll only perform a miracle if he chooses too.

God already gave you what you need to move the paperclip. Fingers, arms, your breath!

let me tell u why. long ago in the B.C's, the jews were very helpless so they prayed to god everyday. God finally answered to them. eveytime they asked for something god would make it appear. But the jews got to greedy and kept telling wait, not telling, commanding! they kept commanding god to make more things appear. So god got fed up. that's the thing. My mother read this somewhere in our holy book the Qu'ran

God is not magical. He is spiritual.
Magic is a thought of man.
It is what is used to fool others, and God doesn't fool people, He rwards them!!!

God does not deliver on your command. Why would he? You dont believe. You do not follow him. You do not have faith.
