Just saw this last night on PBS. Thought some of you might find it interesting.

Yeah, I watched that documentary long time ago. It is kind of a run trough James Randi's career and it is interesting, but I think his activism against superstition is much more powerful in documentary he did ages ago for Nova "Secrets of the Psychics" which is available on youtube. Also apparently maker of "Honest Liar" documentary said that some "big shots" in movie industry called him after the doc to purchase rights of some of Randi's famous debunking operation like Project Alpha hoax to make movies about them.
And also I'm eagerly awaiting his autobiography which is supposed to be titled "Magician in his laboratory" or something like that.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
