If it is common belief that Tantrik’s have the power to kill, then Sanal must’ve been pretty brave to risk his life. Quite a thought provoking story! I’m an atheist myself but I’m being scared witless if some guy threatened to kill me with magic!

In the USA people believe in a sky-fairy that intervenes in people’s lives - not much different than that shaman.

It’s too bad that no matter how many people with oddball beliefs get debunked on a grand scale such as this, society at large doesn’t quit believing in said oddball-ness.
or, maybe it’s not too bad. it does feed the funny, doesn’t it?

If I were the anchor I would just suddenly drop to the floor and lay there as though I had been struck dead for a few minutes. Then I’d stand up and laugh. I would have the restraint not to mess with the shaman like that!
What, mystic? You’ve soiled your loin cloth?

There’s no way I could hold back!

Nice mystic. So anxious to prove his faith that he’d actually kill someone if he could.
I hope at the least he’d be put in prison if it had worked.

I’d love to see a show like that is the US. We would start with “Saddam had weapons of mass destruction” and “Iran is helping Al Qaeda.” We could move on to “Most Black people get welfare” and “Most welfare goes to Black people.” Then something like “Tax cuts for the wealthy bring prosperity to all” and “Universal healthcare is a socialist failure.”
Have Steven Colbert host it. He knows that facts have a well-known Liberal bias.

The big difference is you don’t see Christians challenging others on live TV to a smite-fest.
The secret to all magic is the belief of the person the magic is being practiced upon.

“The secret to all magic is the belief of the person the magic is being practiced upon.”
yeah, i was going to say… this was not really a fair contest.
everyone knows that atheists are immune to black magic, possession, ESP, ghosts, alien abduction, homeopathy, eternal damnation, and lake monsters. among other things.

I think Tony had a good point, but smelly girl misunderstood it. She obviously confused atheists with general skeptics. Atheists don’t believe in God, but they can certainly believe in ESP, alien abduction, and lake monsters. Some atheists even believe in “spiritual” concepts, but they just don’t attribute them to God.
There have been plenty of cases of people dying after a black magician “cursed” them, but skeptics actually have theories about that. They often believe that if a person has a strong enough belief in black magic, then it can have a psychological effect on them. On the other hand, believers argue that disbelief can actually ward off magic. As a Wiccan, I don’t think either theory can suffice in all cases.

I was going to say the thing about how it’s actually people’s belief that they have been cursed that gets them! Supposedly there are examples of people dying as a result, but I think it would have to be awfully rare or awfully intense belief - or helped by outside hands.

“Scarier: These are people with NUCLEAR WEAPONS”
Yeah, like Westerners who believe in a guy named Jesus who also did magic spells of his own, except he’s not weird at all right? He’s the exception. Pfft.
“everyone knows that atheists are immune to black magic, possession, ESP, ghosts, alien abduction, homeopathy, eternal damnation, and lake monsters. among other things.”
If that was the case then everyone would be an atheist. What cannot kill you can only make you stronger right? What’s this “everybody knows” you state? Are you saying it’s a scientific fact, that has actually been proven using the scientific method? If so, please tell me the book.
What kills me, like other skeptics, is that when something is challenged like this black magic, and it doesn’t go to plan, people who believe try to think of all the reasons as to why it didn’t work. “Oh, uhh, I forgot. It has to be done at night, in the dark”. Well, if that was the case then why didn’t he set it up like that in the first place? Imagine if your surgeon screws up like that “ohh, I forgot I was supposed to sedate him, no wonder he didn’t “fall asleep”.”
“The secret to all magic is the belief of the person the magic is being practiced upon.”
Yes and no. Yes, if someone believes in black magic, and they go through a tough time, which causes someone to travel through a downward spiral, that it could be the result of black magic, but only if they associate their problems with black magic. However, maybe there are other reasons which could have caused the downward spiral? Imagine everyone blaming their debt problems on being cursed, but not blaming themselves because of their own faults. I mean, look how many idiots believed in Y2K? Did all those people die, or vanish into thin air because of that belief? No. They believed in it so much, and nothing happened.
I am not an atheist, but this guy called this so called master out because he ran his mouth. And he got pwnd at his own game. 1337

The reason it didn’t work is that the mantra, “Om lingalingalinalinga, kilikili” is all wrong. For success, this is the one to use:
“Mecca lecca hi mecca hiney ho!”
Well, it works for choking chickens, anyway.

Hah! Best challenge ever! Reminds me of that Family Guy ep where Stewie and Brian snag the Pope with a balloon:
The Pope: You makea da pope look a like a fool. God will make you pay.
(Looks to the sky and points down at Stewie and Brian): Smite them!
(After looking at the sky for a few seconds): He’s a cookin a somethin’ up.

When I was a kid, everyone told me that every Sunday, this guy in a frock would turn some wine and crackers into blood and flesh. Not symbolically. Actual blood and flesh.
The blood never tasted anything like the blood from a cut finger. And the flesh, though having the color of pale skin, always tasted like a stale cracker.
I still can’t believe people buy into that stuff.

While Y2K was seriously over-hyped as something that would bring about the end of civilization, it was a real threat to many computer systems. The reason these systems didn’t crash is because programmers and engineers worked around the clock for months to fix the problem.
