Its so true. I prayed to god and asked him to prove that he is there. And when I flipped open the bible to a random page, a rainbow shot out and hit me in the face!
But really...

No. After it happens time and time again, you know you are reading the bible. How can it not be coincidence? If I were to try your little 'prove god is real' exercise, chances are very high you could extract a god affirming quote. The same would be true whether or not you prayed before hand. And why is that? ITS THE GOD DAMNED BIBLE. It's all about god. Thats like telling someone to find the hay instead of the needle (you know, the whole 'needle in a haystack' thing). But what if I just so happened to open it to a part where you can't really extract a god affirming quote? That would be the part where you swoop in and save the christian day and say something like "Oh well you probably didn't believe hard enough." But I didn't try it because your little "exercise in faith" is flawed to begin with. It's set up to be a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Oh.. and one more thing. I think I figured out how to better understand your views on religion. Every time you use the word 'faith', I can just mentally replace it with 'gullibility'. Then much of what you say would make sense.
