{Mod edit- The full article can be found here. It lists several Bible verses that suggest Christians should gladly part with their money when someone asks them to, and provides commentary as well. The article sums up with this}:

I propose the following test. You would of course have to get the Christian to agree with it and sign the proper release forms.
1) Arrange with the Christian an agreed upon sign to determine if a) They got it right or b) They got it wrong. This would have to be a sign that they could send from heaven (or hell). Arrange to have the Christian killed. Then wait for the sign. If there is no sign then still in doubt, need to test on more Christians. If you get sign (a) then you have your religion and if you get sign (b), oh well, the poor bastard has died in the name of science at least. If you got sign (a) you would of course have to test it several times to make sure you aren't getting a false positive. I might take thousands if not hundreds of thousands of trials. What do you think? Starboy |

True "Christians have died in the Lord. They have found rest from their labors and their good works accompany them" (Rev.12:13).

He got a check!
Holy crap, there really are people stupid enough to send you money for anything. On the other hand, this could be a real business oppourtunity. Christians would have a way to be certified as True Christians (TM), and atheists would have a way to buy more beer. ![]() I'll be you dollars to doughnuts he didn't cash that check, but he can't say that on his web site or he'll be indunated with fakers. Actually, if it were me, I'd cash the check to make sure it cleared, and then send them back a check of my own. |
