57. Reminds me of a James Randi challenge to kill him with homeopathy. :)

Munching bottle after bottle of 'arsenic' homeopathic pills won't even fill one up, let alone give anyone so much as a stomach ache.

Now that that's cleared up, what about this?	rug	May 2012	#26
i had spent the morning reading about the vatican scandals	iemitsu	May 2012	#28
NP. There's a lot to criticize.	rug	May 2012	#29
His problem is that reality has an anti-religious bias. (n/t)	Jim Lane	May 2012	#2

Sanal Edamaruku did a public service	PufPuf23	May 2012	#4
Sanal Edamaruku is the real deal	longship	May 2012	#6
Hm. And he takes a position that appears to be a common debating point here.	daaron	May 2012	#52
I agree with Sanal on that.	longship	May 2012	#56
Reminds me of a James Randi challenge to kill him with homeopathy. :)	daaron	May 2012	#57
Unless one's diabetic ;)	longship	May 2012	#60
That is FUCKING AWESOME!!!	Odin2005	May 2012	#72
Any details? Like, y'know, exactly who was claiming exactly what was a miracle?	struggle4progress	May 2012	#7
Strange lapse in google-fu there.	dmallind	May 2012	#9
Is the author the same Praveen Swami who works for UK's Daily Telegraph?	struggle4progress	May 2012	#10
possibly - why would it matter?	dmallind	May 2012	#13
The Telegraph is very likely to carry "weird news" stories denigrating funny folk in foreign lands	struggle4progress	May 2012	#14
This was reported by the BBC World Service weeks ago.	Odin2005	May 2012	#70
By all means let us have your BBC link	struggle4progress	May 2012	#74
Here is a picture I found by searching for	struggle4progress	May 2012	#11
Strange none of The Hindu's millions of readers seem to doubt it	dmallind	May 2012	#12
As usual, I take the view that if the story is worth our attention, then we should get details right	struggle4progress	May 2012	#15
None of which? Bullshit	dmallind	May 2012	#33
Maybe the commentators did not read widely with an eye for discerning the truth:	struggle4progress	May 2012	#16
Are you arguing that the weeping cross must be a miracle because	LiberalAndProud	May 2012	#19
I'm just trying to figure out what the actual story is.	struggle4progress	May 2012	#20
Since the articles make mention of television appearances,	LiberalAndProud	May 2012	#23
The questions you should be asking are	skepticscott	May 2012	#31
As water dripping from statutes doesn't much impress me much one way or the other,	struggle4progress	May 2012	#32
Then you should be very interested	skepticscott	May 2012	#51
The law can be traced back to 1860, but has been modified slightly several times since, notably	struggle4progress	May 2012	#54
Back to the facts now: what evidence do you have that the state has actually taken	struggle4progress	May 2012	#55
Where did I or anyone say	skepticscott	May 2012	#77
No, this is just what he does whenever a news article is posted...	trotsky	May 2012	#49
Or...for sane people	dmallind	May 2012	#34
I can't determine from the video I've posted how that explanation works:	struggle4progress	May 2012	#37
How convenient. nt	daaron	May 2012	#58
You do science no honor by asserting you have a scientific explanation	struggle4progress	May 2012	#63
Here is another question: is the Church of Our Lady of Velankanni	struggle4progress	May 2012	#17
How many St. Peter's churches exist?	dmallind	May 2012	#36
I asked because when I attempted to google the named church on the named road	struggle4progress	May 2012	#39
It seems Edamaruku has been claiming since early April "I may be arrested any moment"	struggle4progress	May 2012	#21
This seems to be TV coverage from early April	struggle4progress	May 2012	#22
It seems to consist largely of various folk attempting to outscream each other	struggle4progress	May 2012	#24
just like fox news.	iemitsu	May 2012	#27
Churchman on the program repeatedly says that the church is not claiming any miracle here but	struggle4progress	May 2012	#30
Were they claiming a miracle BEFORE he debunked it?	dmallind	May 2012	#35
I don't remember the color of anyone's underwear being of critical importance to a news story	struggle4progress	May 2012	#41
He's just asking for facts.	trotsky	May 2012	#50
I haven't read all your links or watched the vids, so pardon me for asking.	LiberalAndProud	May 2012	#38
I have no idea. I'm just trying to get the accurate story	struggle4progress	May 2012	#40
Do you believe Edamaruku is lying?	LiberalAndProud	May 2012	#42
I think there is much posturing here. And in fact there is so much posturing here	struggle4progress	May 2012	#43
We'll agree on this. I believe Edamaruku is trying to exploit this episode	LiberalAndProud	May 2012	#44
I wish they would caption this, though. A translation would be very helpful.	LiberalAndProud	May 2012	#45
So here is something that seems curious to me:	struggle4progress	May 2012	#47
Capillary action.	daaron	May 2012	#59
You have not at all understood my objection.	struggle4progress	May 2012	#61
Sure I did.	daaron	May 2012	#62
I think if you regard liquid transport in trees as adequately modeled	struggle4progress	May 2012	#64
Oh, there was little point in continuing "discussion" before I posted word one. nt	daaron	May 2012	#65
This is why super over the top political correctness is bad.	Omniscientone	May 2012	#46
Well, the Indian law has nothing whatsoever to do with "political correctness"	struggle4progress	May 2012	#48
See? It's the bias that's the problem. Not the bullshit.	Iggo	May 2012	#53
Where we are with this story:	struggle4progress	May 2012	#66
Your supposition could not be further off-base.	cleanhippie	May 2012	#68
I've posted a link to his blog, various links to news accounts, and at least one link to TV footage	struggle4progress	May 2012	#71
Again, your claim is nothing more than supposition.	cleanhippie	May 2012	#75
Well, they think wine turns into blood...	Gore1FL	May 2012	#67
I heard this on the BBC a few weeks ago and it pissed me off.	Odin2005	May 2012	#69
I posted the text in #54 upthread: it seems to have been last modified around 1960 and has existed	struggle4progress	May 2012	#73
Found a still photo of the crucifix shown in the video footage:	struggle4progress	May 2012	#76
