1. I had a prayer challenge detector on the web for a couple of years
I have this little wind up toy called by its manufacturer Darwin's Dog. Its a little green fish/thing with legs. I showed a couple of verses of the bible indicating what it claimed prayer could do and then I issued my challenge. Simply pray for the fish thingy to move only under god's control and if it should move I would accept that as evidence for the existance of god.

The challenge stayed up for a couple of years and there were even some groups that prayed at my fishie. All to no avail.

3. Ha! Nice.
Like the passage that says true believers can drink the foulest poison and survive. Strange that so many believers in biblical inerrancy don't want to test that one, isn't it?

4. Thought of carrying a vial of water around for a while
There were these pentecosts preaching on the main street of the town I used to live in. They are the ones big into the signs of a Christian (speaking in tongues, drinking poisons, handling snakes, healing, etc). I figured it would be an excellent test. Here is some deadly poison. Let me see that you are a true Christian etc. But the thought of them drinking the stuff and ... well I would never hear the end of it. Got exorcised by them once during a confrontation. Not the first time its happened either.
