James Randi's Latest Debunking Operation

An anonymous reader writes "The pair of documentarians behind An Honest Man — The Story of the Amazing James Randi will not only talk to the likes of like Adam Savage, Bill Nye, Richard Dawkins, Neil deGrasse Tyson, and Penn and Teller about the life of the famous magician/skeptic, but they'll also follow Randi's latest operation as he assembles 'an Ocean's Eleven-type team for a carefully orchestrated exposure of a fraudulent religious organization.'"

Why yes I do and there are way too many to jot down here.

LOL!!!!! that is the most fucking stupid thing I read in a long time, kudos.

All he does is cause doubt and never follows up to prove his point.

you clearly are projecting, thanks for the laugh :D

otherwise, I'll simply skip your blah-blah for that's what it is; feel free to offer any of the aforementioned evidence once you found even just a single thing, or figured out how to decide WHAT of the mountain of evidence to post. (here's a tip, you don't have to be exhaustive -- just one would suffice to make you seem like less of a liar).

Dude what color is the sky in your world?

Because there isn't one in the Judeo-Christian-Muslim sense.

And you're 100% positive of that despite any evidence whatever. OTOH I have experienced God's presence, and many, many others have as well. You're the guy who's never been to the zoo trying to tell me elephants are impossible.

Only some people who thrive on the power and money generated from convincing people of the most ridiculous things.

And you're not only completely ignorant about Christianity, you refuse to learn. Our religion is strictly against wealth and power. Do you know where the money I throw in the collection plate goes? A lot of it goes to Somalia and other horribly poverty stricken places around the world. Including here in Springfield -- last year volunteers from my church donated a whole lot of time, money, and effort to fixing up Harvard Park Elementary in the poorest neighborhood in town. Last Christmas every family with a child in that school got two weeks of groceries, free, thanks to us, because a lot of those kids don't get to eat much when they're not in school.

Wealth and power? God, how ignorant you are, fool. "It is as hard for a rich man to enter hevean as it is for a camel to go through the eye of a needle." Yes, there are some wolves in sheep's clothing (*cough*Pat Robertson*cough) that take advantage of Christian generosity (we are required to be generous) but the vast majority of Christian preachers are not, in fact, either rich or powerful.

Before you pan a book you might want to try reading it, fool.
