f Moses call an air strike? Child's play. How about stopping the world for a day?
Joshua 10:12-14 "So the sun stood still, and the moon stopped, till the nation avenged itself on its enemies, as it is written in the Book of Jashar. The sun stopped in the middle of the sky and delayed going down about a full day." Modern atrocity is you lot, not God.
Once I asked the Lord to extinguish a star in the Pleidees. Shortly thereafter it was announced in the local Oxford newspapers, 1971.

Yes...because around 440 million years ago [if you are talking about the Pleiades cluster, I've never heard of the Pleidees] you where born Yahweh said "Hmmmm in 1971 a person who will post on a thing yet unmade called the internet, on a site called YouTube will show this undeniable proof, that isn't totally made up, that I exist me to show proof by extinguishing a star in the Pleiades after asking me to."
How self centered are you Lou? Stars come and go, I know that some of the stars that I see looking up at the sky at night are long gone, but their glow remains for now and the light began it's fantastic journey through space millions, if not tens or hundreds of millions, of years ago.
You do know how long the light of the stars takes to reach the Earth, don't you?
If your ridiculous assertion had any truth (was it the April 1st edition of the Oxford newspapers perchance?) then at 440 light years away, gawd would have had to extinguish the star (and re-ignite it later) in 1531.
Secondly, what would gawd achieve by extinguishing a star to answer the prayer of one (daft) xian when there are real potential problems here on earth that need fixing? A real miracle on Earth might be the real proof you lack of your Gawds existence.
(also, Pleiades and not Pleidees).
A) Astronomy does not work that way.
B) If the star in question was extinguished and you were able to see it in your lifetime, it most likely actually died thousands if not millions of years BEFORE YOUR BIRTH.
I once asked Joe Pesci to win an Academy Award. Shortly there after it was announced on live television, 1990.
Why? Because Joe Pesci gets shit done. Unlike your god.
Tsk, yeah, right. Come on, seriously, just, come on. Why would you pray for that instead of curing your lobotomy?

This is supposed to be convincing, right? Just checking.
"Once I asked the Lord to extinguish a star in the Pleidees. Shortly thereafter it was announced in the local Oxford newspapers, 1971."
I'd be more impressed if you could point me to the peer reviewed astronomy journal that discusses a star suddenly vanishing without warning.

Next time, ask Him to extinguish cancer ... He apparently hasn't thought of that Himself.
Is he making a muddled reference to the story of the "Seven Sisters" (the Pleiades) in Greek mythology, for which the eponymous cluster has only six obvious bright stars?
The only light emitting objects you've ever extinguished have been the five candles on your annual birthday cake. A birthday cake that has annually had five candles on it for the last 10 years at least. I foresee no increase in the number of candles on future cakes. Mommy still thinks you are five and, judging by your quotes, so does everyone else.
Okay, can we have some non-Biblical proof of this day were the sun didn't set. I mean a day of such astronomical importance would have probably been recorded by every literate person on the planet, so finding another document that makes mention of it would be super easy.
I'd do the research myself, but you see, the burden of proof is on you.
Of course, you have extensive, credible evidence concerning your asking God to extinguish a star in the Pleiades. What? No? Really? Oh, that's a real shame as now I have to believe that you're a lying sack of s*it.
when was the last time their god did anything useful.
he's always healing peoples pets and shit.
solve world hunger already.
Astronomical-mafia hits for lou!
It's not what you know, but who you know!
Little did lou know, but there was a civilized planet orbiting that star. lou's prayer snuffed them out.
I see that you a lying nincompoop with all the usual lack of charm possessed by a God slobberer. Let's see you ask God to delete that.
That's right. You can't do it can you? Because no matter how much you ask Him, God doesn't exist, and obviously non-existent things can't do anything. So let's just call you a moron and leave it at that.
Now ask him to end hunger, cure cancer, and prevent war. oh wait, I bet you already have. Most church services do at some stage or other. Major fail in the Mojo there, I feel.
I made a half-hearted attempt to search Google for whatever the hell the OP's talking about, but to no avail. If someone else more astronomically dedicated were to find out for me, that would be great. :)
This actually provides evidence of the stupidity of the bible. Even if the sun did stay in the sky for a whole 24 hours or whatever (which I can't believe that people literally believe)...it would not have been the sun that stopped in the sky, it would have been the earth that stopped rotating. It is amazing how the bible reflects only the scientific understanding of the time...you would think that the word of god would have made it clear that the sun stayed in the sky because the earth stopped rotating...
I can't believe I just typed all that to point out how inane this post is. What a waste of time.
So if you've got God in your back pocket, why the hell don't you ask him to do something more important.
Tell you what, if you can get this god of yours to end cancer, war, and starvation on this planet. I (and I'm sure many more will join me on this bet) will spend the rest of our lives kissing your ass and begging for gods forgiveness.
Who in their right mind actually thinks "Hmm, I don;t care for that star in the sky. It really ruins the looks of all the other stars. I wish God would get rid of it for me"
and then
"Wow, I can no longer see that particular star! Thanks, God, for doing something of no use to anyone but me!"
But of course, this guy is clearly not in his right mind.
that's right. a prominent star in the Pleidees suddenly vanished without warning. It was in the papers in Oxford, England, back in 1971. It put a bee in the astronomers' bonnet as it were. I wondered what the fuss was all about and then I remembered a little prayer session I had one evening out by the river banks of the Thames, eating some mutton I had cooking on the coals of my little camp fire, and I asked the Lord, as a "faith exersise" to put out one of the stars in the Pleidees. Most of the time I asked for something more mundane like flags furling in opposite directions on windy days...
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
