Let me start with letting you know that I believe in a higher power (she is something like Oprah), I have seen a ghost, I have experienced profound brushes with spirits, Post Apocalyptic Bohemia is haunted beyond any doubt in my mind, I have experienced our local apparition. Past lives have been revealed under hypnosis… yet, I still celebrate Randi. I have a soft spot for skeptics, grouches & those that ask questions.
James Randi, the renown 81-year-old skeptic, escaped from the closet this spring, after keeping his sexuality a secret for more than 70 years.
Randi, formerly known as The Amazing Randi, began his career in Canada as a professional stage magician. Today, he is more widely known as a scientific skeptic who questions & disproves paranormal claims & pseudoscience, following in the tradition of Houdini, who was hot, but not gay. Randi has debunked more than 100 psychics & faith healers during his career.
Randi’s work is channeled through his James Randi Education Foundation, which challenges the notion of an afterlife & those who claim legitimate proof of paranormal, occult or supernatural abilities. His foundation sponsors The One Million Dollar Paranormal Challenge, which offers a prize of $1,000,000 to anyone who can demonstrate evidence of any paranormal, supernatural or occult power or event, under test conditions agreed to by both parties.
To date, the money has never been given away.
Randi himself says the revelation of his homosexuality provides the most damning proof that human beings do not possess any psychic gifts.
Randi : “Of all the people I have investigated — people like John Edward, Sylvia Brown & Miss Cleo — not one of these self-deluded clairvoyants could figure out I was gay? Hell, Uri Geller still hasn’t figured out that Clay Aiken fancies men. You’ve got to wonder.”
