I dare God to...

I thought it would be a bit of fun for people to challenge God to do certain things. If it's something that is going to directly affect you, it can be assumed that you're giving consent for God to go ahead and do it.
So it could be something impressive, something stupid, something that would provide proof, or something you think he won't do even if you give him express permission. We'll just assume it's one of the popular monotheistic gods. And your dare is to do it in the immediate future, not an open ended prophecy kind thing.
I'll start by saying, I dare God to kill me. Go ahead. Kill me! If you have any power at all, do it now.

I dare god to give Justin Bieber some talent.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
-Stephen Jay Gould

Hehe Yeah. When I'm daring God, I mean I'm daring him to actually do it directly. But you can dare him to do it through some religious zealot I suppose :p

Exist.
"The greatest deception men suffer is from their own opinions" - Leonardo da Vinci
"I think I use the term “radical” rather loosely, just for emphasis. If you describe yourself as “atheist,” some people will say, “Don’t you mean ‘agnostic’?” I have to reply that I really do mean atheist, I really do not believe that there is a god; in fact, I am convinced that there is not a god (a subtle difference). I see not a shred of evidence to suggest that there is one ... etc., etc. It’s easier to say that I am a radical atheist, just to signal that I really mean it, have thought about it a great deal, and that it’s an opinion I hold seriously." - Douglas Adams (and I echo the sentiment)

He already got that. That barfing stunt onstage really was a class act. He even kept singing while dropping his guts.
I dare god, to remove him completely. He's already smashed people for a whole lot less serious offenses.

Oh come on, the guy can't work miracles.
I dare this god to turn me into a born-again, bible-thumping, fundamentalist dribblechin by this time next week.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

Impregnate a virgin and raise the child as his only son, but also as his own incarnation, so that he can sacrifice himself, to himself, around the approximate age of 35 on a crucifix to save everyone from their sins and then resurrect him/himself 3 days later to live with him/himself in heaven until some undesignated time in the future which the son (and also himself) can return for some kind of ultimate apocalypse.
Something tells me this might be a little too far fetched for him to do, but it's worth a shot.

As fun as it might be, I'll have to decline daring God to do something, because I'll end up looking like this to any onlookers.
