Patience
Patience - ALL WILL BE REVEALED....
Matthew 10:26
Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known.
1 Corinthians 2
7 But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory: 8 Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.

If you were capable of doing what you claim you can do, then there would be no need for patience.
Cough up your evidence.
Whom says I'm affraid? I'm not the one with a bully for a God.
And if your God doesn't know how to speak in straight english, then I maintain that he is not omnipotent or are pulling your chain. So far all I've heard from you is a load of codswallop and claptrap.
And I'm still not christian so the glory of your God is not of interest to me.
ETA: for some reason I keep getting double quote tags.
Possible Second Chance
Matthew 12:32
And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come.
Luke 12:10
And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemeth against the Holy Ghost it shall not be forgiven.
Matthew 12:32
And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come.

...If you are a christian. Which I am not. Not of consequence for me. I could call the Holy Ghost a Whoremonger if I wanted to and it would still not be of consequence for me.
As previously stated: No deity of the Christian pantheon, including Devil, God, Holy Spirit and the demigod Jesus have any claim on my soul. They can only claim those of the christian religion.
Se above. Repetition doesn't make your claim anymore true.
ETA: Clarification.

Define A Paranormal Event Please
REPEAT : PLEASE DEFINE A PARANORMAL EVENT
NB : What is "The Amazing Meeting" next year supposed to be all about?

I did. See post 322
Take a look at the front page of this place. You'll find a link to the appropriate page.
And you still haven't proven your claim of a paranormal event or the existance of your God.

You would never borrow jokes from "Family Guy", would you?
Actually, I've never seen the show. I will admit this also, I HATE The Simpsons. I'm old (or so my knees tell me daily), I still only watch Bugs Bunny cartoons. Did I hit on a coincidence? It's psychic I tell ya! Can I get affadavits from all of you? Can I start writing Randi and demanding the prize? How about if I scale it down to a free cruise? A SlimJim?

Dear fruit loop,
Thought I'd help your born again Christian lawyer and you out a bit. Lord knows (pun intended) you need it. I noticed from your snippet that it was dated April 2004. Most jurisdictions place a relatively short time limit on contract cases, the statute of limitations in civil cases is no where near those of criminal court. In my area it is 2 years, and this is a common number. Better get your lawyer (Matt Murdock?) on it straight away.

Why don't you scan those documents where the procedure was agreed upon and post them here? A copy of your application and the receipt showing where it was received by JREF would also lend support to your claim.
Frankly, your credulity is a bit suspect.
ETA:
I see where you did indeed submit an application. Someone already linked the thread where you discussed your application with Kramer. There was obviously never an agreement, Dr. Ward. Your claim that there was one is merely another of your flawed interpretations.
And to answer your question, a simple definition is "an occurrance that is contrary to the known laws of science". Forcing interpretations cannot in any way be said to be paranormal.

In an episode, the dialogue goes something like this:
"Peter: Oh my god, Brian, there's a message in my Alphabits. It says, 'Oooooo.'
Brian: Peter, those are Cheerios."
(Unfortunately, I can't geek it up and tell you the exact episode, season, production number, writer, producer, director and the color of the panties that chick used to wear when she gave a rusty trombone to this guy whose job it was to get lunch that day at the cheap restaurant where he gave a dirty sanchez to the veedeed waitress who gave him a cleveland steamer the other day when he lost that bet where he had to drink a gallon of whore sea men (take your time with this one.......now you got it) and could only finish half and had to buy lunch again.)
Check it out sometime, it'll most likely give you a laugh.

I need some new recipes. I suspect this thread will soon provide a plethora of them.

Wow, really, I got the basic idea from The Meaning of Life (Michael Palin's sermon at the boy's school). Then I just made nonsense up, copying Elijah of course. I'll make a point of looking for the show, great minds and all that.

OMF-Gee! I can't believe this topic has gone on for 9 pages.
Before I registered on these forums, I lurked. And, actually, I signed on merely to wish the old guy a speedy recovery.
I always watched The Tonight Show w/Johnny Carson whenever Randi was a guest, and I found his resolute un-acceptance of anything "woo" to be extremely interesting; ultimately devestating to my whack, little developing sensabilities towards all things inexplicable ; highly educational, and, in the long run, just plain entertaining.
I now find myself trying to educate the poor deceived of this world as to how micro-wave ovens work, and why they can't possibly believe in ghosts in light of such wonderous technology.
After all, "you can't have your cake, and eat it too."
"You can't have an I-pod, and believe in the "woo".

And, just as an aside to all you valiant folks who've already posted, I think you're gold.

I never made it through "Meaning Of Life" - if you refer to the Monty Python movie. "Family Guy" makes lots of cultural references. It forms an integral part of the show.
Critics may call this technique "stealing" or not very creative. (I wonder what Jay Sherman thinks.)
I consider it a bow before the creations of other artists. It shows respect for your fellow men - when applied tastefully. Like a rusty trombone.
One more quote from Stewie Griffin, the baby boy on "Family Guy":
"Stewie (to one of the prostitutes at Cleveland's house):
So, is there any tread left on the tires? Or at this point would it be like throwing a hot dog down a hallway?"

I mean, people like the Fire go out of their way to cut and paste all the woo's responses to the gibberish, simply for the sake of us all to read, and then...
