like you said it would be fun to watch them panic.
that gives me an idea. take all the atheist libs out and throw them in quick sand. then tell them to pray. when they do they would realize they stopped sinking. prayer answered. new convert.

"Experiment" like this have been tried a million times. If it worked, no fundie would ever be killed, raped, mugged, etc. Even Jesus knew better than to do something stupid and expect God to pull his chestnuts out of the fire. See Matthew 4:5-7.
Wasn't it shown on Mythbusters that it's impossible to completely sink in quicksand? At some point, your weight reaches an equilibrium in the density of the quicksand and you float.
2 Problems. One, unlike fundies we study science instead of religion and know that sinking in quicksand is a myth (kinda like creationism). And two, your new idea is thousands of years old, it is a variation on the "Dark Ages" test for witchcraft (church officials would throw a poor girl tied and weighted in deep water, she sinks and drowns, oops our bad, but she goes to heaven, she manages to float, we pull her out and burn her as a witch). So your "brilliant" idea isn't even new fundie stupid, it's old fundie stupid!
Reminds me of the stories about how they find out if you're a witch. Thow them in the river, if they float they are a witch and are burned at the stake, if they sink, they are not a witch, but they drowned. Now do you get the idea where that came from. Christians: Killing for god for 2000 years.
(Ignoring the fact that you have to really, really, really try to drown in quicksand...) really want, isn't it?
Watch Mythbusters, moron. I'd do you some good.
Hmmm... and if we put a Christian in quicksand, he prays, and does not magically levitate out again, we have learnt what?
how to survive in quicksand.
Actually, if you read this quote in context, andrewjb knows that you can't sink in quicksand. He's just advocating lying in order to convert people. I'm not sure if that's better or worse, but it's still pretty fundie.
For some reason this reminds me of that scene in the one Ernest movie where he's at summer camp, when the indian chief tests Ernest by firing an enchanted arrow at him. If the arrow doesn't kill him then he is pure of heart. Or something like that, I was like 9 when I saw that movie.
Wasn't it shown on Mythbusters that it's impossible to completely sink in quicksand? The whole quicksand concept is a Wild West movie myth. Even fundies should know that.
Except we "atheist libs" observe that most other prayers, except for "babies with hairy butt cracks", lost balloons, and defunct computers, have no effect.
Terrorism, assault, attempted mass murder. Who wouldn't want to join a gang that believes that the way to the truth is through pain and the threat of death? How utterly unsurprising.
Is it just me or are the fundies getting progressively more psychotic as the years pass?
I think it has to do with extreme frustration over the fact that Jesus still hasn't returned and God isn't kickin ass at all.
I have a better idea. Take all the fundie idiots, tie anvils to their feet, and throw them in the ocean. If they stop sinking, I'll convert.
Or, they die, and you go to jail.
@tyro
I approve of this Macro.
While you're at it, we're vulnerable to anvils falling on us, stepping on gardening hoes, sticks of dynamite, and anything manufactured by Acme.
Actually I don't think I would need God's help to get out of quicksand, not to mention "killer quicksand" does not exist.
Because you know, MOST people are buoyant in sand.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
