For people who are trying to pin Nautical down on questions in the Nothing to See Here People thread, post them here, and I'll select some for my phone interview with Nautical (after which we will have a rip-roaring good time as I allow him to attempt to exorcise my demons).
I'm probably going to steer away from theological-moral questions (problem of evil, if god is loving why does he allow hell, why does god need a sacrifice or repentance to forgive, etc.) because I've gone in circles on that with enough fundies, and also I think the deeper implications thereof are above Nautical's reading level.
If yinz wouldn't mind only posting here if there are questions you want me to try to ask Nautical on the phone, and could keep general chatter about/to him in Nothing to See Here People and flaming and abuse in Flame and Burn, I would personally appreciate it. But it is of course an open forum.

Lonelocust,
I'd like you to ask him about his success rate in healing people with 'viral based diseases', e.g. aids given that he thinks that they have a spiritual cause and can be spiritually healed.
AIDS is a good one; I also like Polio and Diabetes.
Would like to ask whether he takes his children or himself to the Dr when they're sick or whether he casts demons out of them but given the way some fundamentalists don't get medical attention for their children resulting in the death or permanent harm of the children, I am a little reticent on this one. Maybe just about him going to the DR

I have only one question, or a demand, really: Prove it.
Prove that your assertions about demons and being able to fight them are true. Heck, provide ANY hard evidence if you've got it.

Ask him to videotape his next exorcism, or something.

It would be like the Crocodile Hunter, just with an invisible Croc!

You're actually going to talk to this guy on the phone? I can honestly say, I applaud your guts, Locust. *pats shoulder*

He offered me phone conversation. I decided not to take him up on that offer. I'm not of the mind to randomly give out my phone number to strange internet persons.
Bravery. Ur doing it rite.

I'm curious to know his in-depth thoughts on the possibility of life on other planets, as well as how he'd react if such a discovery was made during our lifetimes.

Well, I did put it off this long in order to get a throwaway Google Voice number, which allows me to both avoid giving out my number (there are ways to get around *68 though Nautical probably doesn't know them) and letting me record the whole thing easily. And yes I've told him I'm going to record it and will also say so on the phone. :-)

I'll have to try and transcribe it once you upload it. My listening skills suck, though.
