eeping track of God Detector activity is an important part of Yo-God. You can use this page to report four kinds of activity:   Movement of your God Detector's indicator dial. Lack of movement of your God Detector's indicator dial after a significant amount of time (for example, a one-year anniversary) or during a significant event (for example, if the Virgin Mary appears on the office building where you work). Significantly good things that have happened to you since you acquired your God Detector. Significantly bad things that have happened to you since you acquired your God Detector.   efore you can submit a report, you must verify the registration number, located on the bottom of every Yo-God God Detector. Enter the registration number and click the Verify button before filing a report. Your zip code is only for mapping detector activity across the country. Registration Number:   Report Type:                  Your Report:   Your Zip Code:    Since I've been making Yo-God God Detectors, I have learned a great deal about creating a web site and have had a lot of fun showing my detectors to friends. For me, these have been some good effects of having God Detectors! Dean     Dear Dean, In God We Trust. One sure sign of god's presence in the good old US of A is that somebody is making money off him. God is good and so's the money. -Andy 43214     Before I got my detector, I couldn't get women to look at me. Now, they're swarming all over me - or are those bees? 80201     It worked    Note: This report of movement does not appear on the Yo-God! map because it is for the same detector cited above by Andy, who seems to be unhappy with Yo-God.      I am reluctant to make this as I am an ordained minister in the Church of the Apathetic Agnostic, but science is science and I feel honor-bound to report all incodents requested. I placed my Yo-God God Detector on the desk in my office on Friday morning. It is located in a large hospital in the middle of the Missouri Bible Belt. I estimate a lot of praying goes on in the vacinity of my detector. Monday morning I was unable to find my office keys or nitroglycerine tablets. Security had to open my office door. I left my office open when I left work Monday so that I wouldn't need to bother security again if the keys did not turn up. Well, by Tues, no keys and no nitro. When I got to work this morning, Housekeeping had locked my office door. An unnheard of occurance. I haven't had another heart attack, but I felt kind of funny when I woke up this morning. djh 65473     I just recieved my God detector and was tinkering with it. I managed to open the detector, and subsequently moved the dial -- but only halfway. I then moved it back to NO, and placed the cover back on. It didn't dawn on me until later that either God inspired me to move the dial, or else Satan was messing with me -- seeing as I didn't move the dial all the way to YES... -- Uneasy in Lubbock Tx 79412     The Atheological Argument from the Non-Moving God Detector (ANMGD) A fun little argument by MikeTheAtheist Based loosely on the Argument from Non-belief (ANB) by Theodore Drange 1 God wants all to be believers. (1 Tim. 2:4) 2 God has no other want or purpose that contradicts (1) 3 God is omnipotent, thus capable of moving my detector. 4 Movement of my detector is the only way I will be a believer. 5 Various ambiguous events or persuasion attempts by theists would be ineffective in causing me to be a believer. 6 God is omniscient 7 By (6), God knows how I feel in (4) and (5). 8 God has been willing to perform miracles or create the ability for his followers to do miracles in the past 9 Moving the detector is really no biggie for an omnipotent god 10 By (3) - (9), God would probably move my detector, or cause one of his followers to move it for him, miraculously 11 My detector hasn't moved. 12 By (10) - (11), God probably doesn't exist. 43016     i thought i saw it move, but it was merely my imagination. like a christians magical, mystical friend in the sky. 27609     A special thanks to Michael Allen. At the Godless America march on Washington, he offered people Yo-God! God Detectors in exchange for a donation to a Washington Area Food Bank. He was able to raise almost $200 for this worthy cause. Thanks to Mike and all who donated! Dean Dean     My detector told me to order products for Xmas. The buttons are great. 46240     He's Here!!! He's Here!!! Oh, never mind. I was holding the thing upside down. Sorry. 11105     I received my God Detector on about the 1st of November, 2002. I proceeded to request that God demonstrate his existence by moving the dial of the God Detector. After two weeks there has been no movement. Mark 27103     I have had my detector for almost 24 hours now with no movement. I am waiting in anticipation however, and taking readings every 60 seconds. My current plan is to submit the data that result from these once/minute readings in ten years (thus providing the scientific community with an average level of God-intensity (calculated using extremely complicated univariate statistics, of course) from an extremely rigorous long-term study). Stay tuned. ---Brian in Ithaca, NY 14850     I've had it for four days now and still nothing. I have tried poking it AND jabbing it. I'm considering going to a church and drowing it's ass in some holy water. 53704     My hard drive crashed during a power outage. My Palm Pilot also crashed. Both are beyond their manufacturer's warranty. 53706     this proves there is no god. simple. thank you all 37130     god... hahaha thats like saying there is a heaven. oh wait. they are both fake. this is a very good thing to decide if there is a god. 37130     I noticed in the paper the other day that an image of the Virgin Mary appeared in Milton, MA. Over 25,000 people have come to view it. It is unfortunate that there was not a Yo-God! detector in the building, but we do have a registered member in Brookline, about 7 miles from the hospital. No movement of that detector has been reported. Yo-God! has sent a free detector to a volunteer who lives near the hospital. Thanks, Mike! Dean     No movement in first 24 hours. Do they have to warm up or calibrate or something? Jay 98101     Seeing as I don't really have a Yo-God detector mine hasn't moved (I made a fake reg # sorry!). I have been watching the needle on the pictures of the ones on your website here. Hey, if god is omnipotent and can move the needle on the Real Thing (TM) animating your gifs of the things should be no sweat for him! After all, we webmasters can do so! 90210     I'd like to recomend a modification to the Yo-god detector for those folks who grow impatient waiting for a positive sign. This involves explosives, so you have to be carefull. Just get a stick or two of TNT, wire up your detector like you would an alarm clock time bomb, then strap it on. No more tedious checking. No more wondering if God moved the dial when you weren't looking. And no wasted time between a positive sign and your eternal reward. -Paul Sussex 91042     Another sign has occurred, this time in Campbell, Ohio, near Youngstown. A statue of the Virgin Mary is attracting crowds because of its glowing eyes and heart. There are 12 registered Yo-God! detectors in Ohio; the nearest is in Kent, about 40 miles from the site. No movement of any detector in the area has been reported. Yo-God! needs a volunteer who lives near the church in Campbell — email me for a free detector. Dean     My Dial was moved to "Yes" when I came into the office. I am however, skeptical, as the "mover" scratched the glass, removed the cover, partially tore the sticker, and bent the needle. An Omniscient God would know that a skeptic such as my self would consider this type of thing inconclusive, so unless (s)he is terribly clumsy and inept or was in a big hurry, I suspect a co-worker. I will have to order a new one and put it in a more controlled atmosphere, such as my apartment. God, if you are omnipotent, you should be able to move the needle without breaking the device. Let's try again, shall we? 94110     I've had this God detector for about a week. No movement. Just now, my cat threw it on the floor. Dial still says "No"; God hasn't struk me down from above with a lightning bolt or sent locusts into my pants or anything like that. I would expect throwing God detectors around would make God angry, seems not. H7N 1L1     I was using my God Detector every day, with no visible signs of dietical intervention. On Saturday morning, I got up and went to the hardware store and walmart. Returning home, I changed into shorts and went for a swim. Later that afternoon I could not find my God Detector!! I immediately prayed that I would find it. Then I watch some TV and played a video game. When my wife called excitedly from the bedroom that I had left my pants on the floor. I went to get the pants and in the pocket was the God Detector!! Unfortunately when God performed the miracle of returning the detector I was not there to see it in action and cannot absolutely confirm a detection. 64012     I keep checking, but no movement. 60608     Moved all the way to yes today - but I suspect the tamperings of a co-worker. I plan on sealing the unit better or locking it away, and monitoring it closely. 40217     I've had my detector for a day now, and it's been no all along. However, Mozilla did crash once while going here to register it, but I didn't put that as a bad event because Windows programs crash a lot anyway. Now, if it crashed on Linux, I'd be surprised. Andre 10510     I just got my Yo-God God Detector today. I was watching the mail every day waiting for my new Yo-God God Detector, and when it came in I tour open the box and looked at my new Yo-God God Detector face, it said: No. I keep picking it up and looking at it, I'm so afraid I might miss it when it says: Yes. Can any one out there tell me a nice way to setup my new Yo-God God Detector so I can look at it all the time without having to pick it up? I'm creating a database where I will keep track of detector motion. As soon as I get it up and running, I'll post the web site. Thank you guys for my new Yo-God God Detector! 70806     10-27-2003 I received my Yo-God detector just a few days ago. I have kept a close eye on the darn thing wondering if any movement of the dial might take place. I have engaged in some heavy duty praying & uttering favorite words & phrases like Haleluja, Praise Jesus, Redemption, Hail Mary, and then I run over to look at the dial & not a even a slight bit of movement. This is really starting to piss me off, as I thought for sure that I could get Papa G to make that skinny little red needle move just a little bit. But NOOOOOOO!! It hasn't even budged a fraction. Oh well, I guess I'll just have to go back to being my old atheist self again. Tdub in Kansas City, Missouri 64114     No movement, but recently felt an urge to break it open and move the needle myself. Inspiration? 01757     It's been about two years since I got my detector at the march on Washington, and there is No Dial Movements. As for life changes, I got very depressed, and tried to kill myself. Then I got over that, and now I'm happy with life. But I'm a teenager, so you can't cite god on that one. 08205     I acquired my God Detector at the Godless American’s March in November 2002. I brought it home and affixed it to my computer monitor as to avoid divine reprimand while spreading my biblically unauthorized message of logic, rationale and objective thought throughout the vast reaches of cyber space. The only movement came when a Fanatical Fundy Freak visited my home. He was there to collect a book on Bill O’Riely because he didn’t believe some of the claims I had made about the commentator. The FFF removed the cover and move the dial. He comment that the dial was screwed on to tight and it was difficult to move and therefore was not a valid test of god. I responded that god was all powerful and even if I fixed the dial in place with super glue, god should be able to get around such a cheap trick. A few days later the FFF returned the book to me outside my house and gave me a Gideon bible which he had stolen from a hotel room. He suggested that the bible was a more accurate God Detector than the “cheap abomination” I had on my monitor. He suggested that I read the bible. A few days later I returned the Bible to him with Post-it notes as bookmarks, and asked him to explain the highlighted passages. He never did get passed Leviticus 11:6 which says rabbits chew their cud. www.maggotpunks.com 67212     no movement at all 44240     01-20-04 I held mine up to the bathroom mirror as my Dog walked by. I quickly glanced at the needle (I have long suspected his divinity). The detector clearly registered "ON". 'Not sure what that means but it seems a much more positive sign than "SEY". 17053     I just received my God Detector today. My Christian ex-girlfriend was with me and opened the package before I could stop her. She quickly proclaimed that there is a god, while I said the opposite. After that we both looked at the contents of the package. The Detector said "No". But then she quickly grabbed it and pulled the cap off. Then the dial suddenly moved to "Yes". I suspect that it was just my ex tampering with it, since I saw her do it. Once I wrestled the device away, I reset it to "No" and it hasn't budged since, so I don't think God is in the general vicinity of Wichita. - Stacey Melissa 67216     I came to work this morning and the dial was on yes. 32303     I took my Detector to church tonight, and glanced down at it every couple of minutes while everyone around me prayed, sang, and listened to the sermon. There was no movement. - Stacey Melissa 67216     I looked out my studio door this morning and saw on the doorstep a dead sparrow. I have heard that no sparrow will fall without God's knowledge. This sparrow fell within 10 feet of over a hundred Yo-God God detectors -- I checked them all, and not one dial had moved. But I felt bad for the sparrow. Dean     I just recfeived my God detector and the hand on the dial moves constantly. It bounces on NO about 70 times a minute so I know it isn't a clockworks. Just No No No No No No No No etc. I can't hear anything inside. I sleep with it at night and have improved my rest considerably...but this constant No No No No No No No must mean something...wouldn't you say? Ogden 99359     no movement at all.. not once. things have been the same.. some bad times..but nothing out of the ordinary. 92055     My god detector is on YES! It was alone where I work... and a friend found it saying yes!! And it is on yes the all time!! 29080     I thought I saw it move, I was sure, but I reallized that is was just rolling of my desk. Silly me! 98052     No movement in a year. today's date 6/15/2004. 91364     It Moved! I swear, it was in the bedroom and now I found it in the kitchen. It still says "No God" I believe it!........Ogden 98661     This may be a little soon, but the same day that i got my god detector, i found out that i got a 2 on my AP test. Ouch. Well, maybe its bad luck or god is showing me a sign, but the dial is still on "no". 92129     I was sure that I saw the needle move. When I had sobered up however it was back at the NO position. Moved by the spirit? LS29 8JX     No movement, and it's been a very long time since my last report. Life has been good since I've acquired the detector. Andre 10510     I juct received my God Detector yesterday & so far it has shown no response to requests for a sign, help from God or anything else. We are in rural Northwest British Columbia, Canada.......but the evidence of a creative Creator who likes green is pretty much everywhere around here. V0J 1Y0     Significantly good things have happened since acquiring my God detector...my next door neighbor is a FunDumbMental, evangelical, born again, creationist minister (no shit) and he is now convinced that he will never make a Christian out of me. He has a wonderful cookie factory run by puppets next door. 17 regulars at his church services 10AM Sundays, all fools welcome. I have acquired a home and three nice city lots for just at $23,000...they need a LOT of work, and it was just the project I have been searching for for years. Things go well. Friends have been just wonderful and my God detector is still on NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO... When do I change the batteries? Ogden 98661     A friend of mine & I order two god detectors- one for me and one as a housewarming present for a bachelor co-worker. My friend delivered mine right away, but he left the other in his car over the weekend. God made the temperature soar to 104 over the weekend, causing our coworker's Bauhaus model to melt as a sign of his displeasure! Of course, He melted it into the "No" position, indicating that it was not Him who did it. Perhaps it was the Prince of Lies who caused the temperature to rise? Dean: Do you sell Satan detectors? 95816     I have had my God detecor for about 2 years and still, no movement! As far as I can tell God must not exist, but I will keep trying. 82633     I tried to move it with me to Europe! It couldn't go...Has anyone else had problems at airport security? The airport security guard kept fingering the cross around her neck as she examined my Yo God Detector. She told me that negative connotations in my speech made them realize I was trying to crash the airplane...they finally relented but said that I would have to relinquish my Detector..."What are you going to do with it?" I asked...they said they would destroy it immediately...No WAY! So I took it back and left...as I was leaving, about 12 Police Squad Cars pulled up and I was instantly surrounded...they wanted to know what was in the Detector...I refused to give it up and there was a terrible scuffle...I don't know what happened to it and I never got to Europe...I am still in Kansas City...can anyone help me? Ogden Kansas     It was really bugging me that it kept saying "no"... I bought several of them, one's at home, one's at work and the other 2 were gifts... tried to pry the one at home open but the thing was glued tight... yet today I picked up the one at work and the top came right off in my hand!! Then I saw the needle was glued in place... no wonder it doesn't change! Theological arguements ensued... well glue shouldn't stop God I guess... he is omnipotent after all... although it struck me as a bit of a cheat... how can a glued needle move? So I messed with it and got the glue off. Lo and behold, once the glue was removed, and the lid replaced, the needle had turned to "yes"! Guess my God isn't strong enough to move a glued needle, only an unglued one. -- Aurora Aurora — The dials are designed to be pressure-fitted, but since I make the detectors by hand, they are sometimes too loose and require a dab of glue to hold in place. Could God make a glue that is so strong that he couldn't move the dial? Dean 53706     Well Aurora, I am sure that glue qualifies as a friction-fixitive device to keep the needle from moving due to outside shaking, gravity and people tapping it hard against a surface. (There are these types out there, they are called "Christians", no relation to jesus Christ) There are 1000's of weak, ineffective Gods out there but I believe the Yo God Detector is aimed primarily at the Hebrew War God famous in the Bible for blood lust, pillage, incest, child murder, revenge, covetousness, pride, anger, hatred and other outargeous behavior. Such a God as this would simply move the glued needle to Yes and re-glue it...of course, there are no verifiable reports of this type of movement...looks like 86,000 detectors are now out there (extrapolated through surmise)...Of course, this God has been a no-show throughout history. The early accounts by Moses and other fictious characters are simply fairy tales. You would think the Romans or Eqyptians would have recorded an account of God appearing? Especially the Romans, I always wondered why NO ONE, no chronicler, no historian, no newspaper or any birth, sale, property, death or other certificates, licenses and accounting reports, NEVER mention God's appearance, Jesus or any of his disciples or any of the miracles attributed to this Christ fellow? I am beginning to suspect it is all a hoax and just when I was about to accept the Lord God's son, that famous baby Jesus, son of Mary, putative son of Joseph, sexually questionable Groom of numerous pinch-faced nuns and right hand man to The Big Dad in the Sky...as my savior! Fortunately I entered a contest that wanted a 25 word or less statement to demonstrate the fallacy of the Christian Church's purported originator. I LOVE contests and I won the right to watch Jerry Falwell pig-out in a special room at one of New Yorks finest restaurants (all in secret of course) so, I decided to not accept the Lord baby Jesus as my personal savior...done in by my own hand. I finally found my Yo God Detector (the one that indicates NO GOD!) it moves around all the time and this time it was hidden under a piece of paper...sorry I took so long to find it and reply. You have all the answers you need now Aurora to live a full, happy, fear free life...never hesitate to consult that wonderful, witty, scintillating raconteur... Ogden Kansas City Jail     Well... it's stayed at "yes" since somehow making it's way there earlier. You know though, I don't believe in/ follow that God dude that the xtians talk about... he's too crabby and mercurial for my taste. Besides, God/dess is with me every day, I see her in the mirror each morning as we are all divine. Hence why I expected, and got, the "yes" answer. *grin* Perhaps the catch is you're looking for the wrong version of "God". You ask why there is so little recorded information on seeing God... think about it... anyone who claims they saw the dude is thought to be nuts... so maybe the xtian God only appears to nuts??? Madison     No movement yet, but I've met an incredibly succulent man and have gotten a new job which pays twice as much as the old one. Sigh. Thank God. 23888     I believe I am the first person to register a detector in Australia, and so i am in a unique position to report on movement in the Southern Hemisphere. Since God seems to reside in the Holy Land, and spends weekends in Rome, he probably doesn't get to Oz very often. I would have probably been better with a Madonna detector, since she travels more extensively - even as far as Guadelupe - and may one day visit down under. The Detector came with a fridge magnet, and I have installed it on the fridge in the shed near the barbecue. I have noticed that the needle jumps distinctly whenever I open the door to fill up the fridge with beer, or to take out bacon or sausages, suggesting that God is present at such times. I can only deduce from this that the Lord enjoys a beer himself, and has a taste for pork products, so perhaps Islam and Judaism might like to have a rethink on that issue. hmmm...pork chops... Perth, Australia     No movement to date 76092     I had anticpated the arrival of my god detector for some time. Having recieved it, I was rather shocked to see that the protective shell had been cracked. I can only deduce that Satan, in the guise of the Korean customs office, had poisoned my dial. This leads me to wonder, if the devil can exist, can God also? I prayed for days over this, yet I have still not received a reply. Is it possible that Satan exists, yet God doesn't? Dear 130-701 in Korea — Metal containers with dials might get rough handling by customs officials these days. I'll be glad to send you a replacement detector. Just let me know. Dean 130-701     The first thing that happened after I got my Key Chain God Detector was that I accidentally sent it through the laundry, and it came out of the dryer all fogged up. There were little drops of water visible up near the place where the chain attaches. Does this mean that God was pissed at me? The face of the detector has remained foggy for the last week. Maybe God doesn't want me to know if he has been detected or not. Or maybe it's just condensation. So, should I just throw this God Detector away, or auction it on E-Bay?      Estabamos celebrando el cumpleaños de mis amigos Luis Berenguer y de Eduardo Gómez Basterra en El Boalo, Madrid, España. Yo puse sobre la mesa el God Detector número de registro WS11442449, y cuando empezamos a cantar la canción "Cumpleaños feliz", la flecha hizo un giro de 90 grados hacia la derecha, y se mantuvo en esa posición durante unos diez segundos. Unode los presentes creyó ver que el dedo de Dios se movía de arriba a abajo, pero esta observación no fue confirmada por ninguno de los presentes. Ramos Perera 28224     Now I am writing again in English, after my Spanish report: We were celebrating the other day the birthday of my friends Luis Berenguer and Eduardo Gómez Basterra in El Boalo, near Madrid (Spain). I placed my God Detector on the table. As we started singing "Happy birthday to you", the arrow made a turn of 90º to the right and kept this position for about 10 seconds. One of my friends says he say the God's finger going up and down, but this was not seen by any of the rest of us. Regards, Ramos Perera 28224     I recently bought a God detector. A day after it was delivered, the Eagles won the NFC Championship game! No dial movement, but do we really need a clearer sign than that?! 08330     My needle moved. So did the case. So did its box and the drawer it was in. Is this a major manifestation? LS2 9JT     I'm the guy who accidentally sent the pocket god detector through the laundry. The cover over the needle never did clear up. I finally figured out it was not condensation. The plastic had gotten "frosted" going through the washer." I got some stovetop polishing compound and buffed it clear again. For a moment I was astounded! The needle appeared to have moved all the way over to YES! But then I noticed that I was just holding the detector upside down. So, even after clarifying things for the hypothetical god, he still refuses to be detected. Or exist. Take your pick. 43215     2 years plus in the den of iniquity that is a science laboratory (playing god with DNA and heathen practices like that...) and not a flicker. Nope, no movement whatsoever. I guess the Romans did a decent job of killing Jesus after all. Cambridge, UK CB2 2QQ     Had the detector sitting on a Bible through Christmas... nothing. I put it on a Book of Mormon through Easter... nothing. Not a shred of moment since I bought it months ago. I guess maybe I'll try a Koran next... 95120     A friend of mine lives in an old church, now remodeled into a lovely home. I played poker there one night and took my Yo, God! detector, thinking that He must have left some trace behind when he abandoned the building. I put the detector in my chip tray and monitored it all evening. No needle movement, but the pile of poker chips RIGHT NEXT TO THE DETECTOR kept getting bigger and bigger! Divine intervention? Did I have a "loaves and fishes" experience?!?!?! 98110     No movement in several years! 49738     Well, I think this is a first! So, I'm stationed on the ISS, right? And NASA just sent me this little package, because one of my less fortunate, Earth-bound buddies wanted to know if God was present outside the earth, too. (He still thinks his Yo-God is on YES because of God, but I moved it and glued it before I left, just as a little joke.) And, so I'm waiting here, floating around, looking at this little compass wanna-be, and it starts drifting over to YES. You can imagine my surprise. So, I started floating around the station, trying to see if it was stronger in one place or another. Lo and behold, I get to this little room, and I open the door. There was this strange curtain that had a plaque next to it labeled "God's residence since 2000." Man, can you believe how surprised I was? All I wanted was to know if he was there, but I stumbled into his shack! So, naturally, I opened the curtain and expected some huge beam of light to shine out on me. Damn, was I disappointed. I was looking for God, and all I got was George Dubbya telling me to "Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain." 00000000000     Please bear with me as this is long, but it is an incredible story! 48 hours after receiving my Yo-God detector, I went on a chartered bus trip to NYC. I decided to take my Yo-god detector along and see what would happen. I really didn't expect that anything out of the usual would occur. 2 hours into the trip the bus driver FELL ASLEEP at the wheel. Someone in the front seat woke him up and no harm was done. A few minutes later he fell asleep AGAIN! Once again he was awoken by someone up front and no harm done. The trip organizers demanded that he stop at the next rest area and called the bus company to provide a replacement. They told us it would be 1 1/2 hours for another driver to get there. It ended up taking FOUR hours for the replacement driver to arrive. We did not reach NYC until 3pm (vs. original expected arrival at 10:30 am) Several people on the trip had Broadway theater tickets (one family had $500 worth) for a 2 o'clock matinee. I had put a $100 deposit down on a 3:45pm voice (singing) lesson. It ended up that those with theater tickets did not make their shows, but I did make it to my voice lesson which far surpassed my expectations. On the trip home we had to switch bus drivers again because driver #2 was going into the hospital the next day. Driver #3 took over about 1 1/2 hours away from home and about an hour into that leg of the trip he hit the biggest deer you can imagine. The whole bus lurched and everyone screamed. The deer was thrown airborne and was most likely instantly killed (we can only hope). It was a horrible thing to see. However, I was not sitting by the window so I missed seeing the ordeal. My (devoutly religious) friend who sat next to me and had INSISTED on sitting by the window, witnessed the whole thing and was traumatized by it. It was truly one of the most BIZARRE days of my life, but my Yo-god detector never moved once! I'm not sure what to conclude about the existence of a deity from this experience, but now I have a killer of a story to tell! 13021     Within weeks of mounting twin detectors on the top of my computer monitor,my baby bird Henry was found dead in his cage only three feet from the detectors, yet there was no movement of the dials, then a few months later a certified act of god occured within ten feet of the detectors,(certified by the insurance company, so they don't have to pay anything) as a concrete retaining wall just outside fell over and crushed my outdoor speakers. The wall did not crush the carved Indian Winged Lion Demon on the wall below it. Is this signifigant? Maybe god's fingers are too big to move such a tiny dial. I will continue to monitor anyway. Paul 02131     Dear Dean, My Dial Moved to Yes the first day!!! I guess God is with us!!! 60622     The glue holding the lid of my detector has dried and allowed the lid to come off. Perhaps God is asking me to be his agent? I will reglue the lid and wait further instructions. 01748     God isn't in my life...oh well...maybe he hates me. ;-( 35043     I just recently got my god detector in the mail and have been keeping a close eye on it for the past 24 hours. It hasn't moved because there is no god, which should be obvious to all those stupid war mongering fundamentalists out there. I encourage all Christian fundos to buy a god detector- I can guarantee them it won't move. I don't know what's wrong with Andy, because it obviously can't move, but he must just be a stupid wrong right wing fundo. oh well. Peace, and get a god detector! 48302     no movement! SURPRISE! not. 92831     God's not real. 78418     I don't actually have a detector. 28217     My dial has not moved sorry to report. As an anti-theist and the fact I am demanding a god show itself - I think one would surely be pissed off. It would be punishing me, no? Like a priest reported on this site I too was locked out of my office. However, I was back in within 15 min. I almost got into an accident but the car missed me. I was sick for 3 days - it is flu season. . . I got better. Thus far I feel god is a hoax. 46112     I have a detector in my home, on my person(keychain) & in my car. I would think any intelligent god would be pissed off with me as I am obviously demanding a sign. Others in my area are also doing the same. No needle has moved - not an inch! A god obviously does not exist, is incompetent or dead. I am shocked a being who humans have vested with such power is unable to complete such a simple task. A task my 7 year old daughter could do, move a needle. Only good things have happened to me as well. Most accounts(obviously made-up) that speak of invisible beings who fly around & hover quietly somewhere in the sky typically tell us these kind of gods violently, quickly & without compassion strike down and kill their enemies or those who question them. GOD? 46112     Last year I purchased the Yo-God god detector as a gift for a friend of mine who was both a Cistercian Monk (20 years of service)and a Chicago cop (retired after 22 years of service). However, since the little gadget proved to be an effective Fundy deterrent (one of them no longer wishes to speak to me,imagine, and all it took was one look at the Yo-God god detector!)I decided to keep it. Neither the dial, nor the detector, have budged from my coffee table. My ex-monk/retired cop friend, though, has threatened the fires of hell and lockup if I don't give it to him already. Maybe I should. It seems there is no god in Chicago, weeping Mary of North Side nothwitstanding. So I'm mailing it to Miami, FL tomorrow. V 60657     Nothing yet, I'm hoping it will move soon. 07110     I took my detector to Sunday morning services at two local churches (sanjoseuu.org and stgeorgechurch.org). I wasn't surprised that the needle stayed at 'NO' at the Unitarian church, since that church has several openly atheist members. The Coptic church service was four hours long, which gave God plenty of time to arrive, even if He likes to be fashionably late, but the dial apparently never moved. Also, there was no needle movement at a godlessgeeks.com meeting, but that was not surprising. I also tested the Holy Bible (King James Version), the Holy Qur'an, and the Book of Mormon, by placing the detector on each book and checking the needle. There was no movement for any of these Holy Books. But perhaps another test is warranted, since I only tested each Holy Book separately (not a single test with all the Holy Books in a stack). 95132     Still waiting for my imaginary friend to show up an MOVE THAT DIAL!! 80130     When I recieved my God Detector, I was dissapointed to find that the background was all dented and mishaped. I emailed Dean to notify him of the problem, and he promptly replied within minutes. He said he would send a new one out the next day. As promised, within a few days I recieved my new God Detector. Dean even included a handwritten apology note (thanks Dean!). However I was shocked to find that this detector background was mishaped and warped in a similiar manor! Despite the malfuction, BOTH detectors are still firmly pointing to "no". 95211     Dean read my report of the two malfunctioned detectors because within days I was surprised to see another package from Yo-God! Dean included a larger Yo-God detector with another hand written note. I'd say that’s a good result of owning a God Detector. Now I have all three of my detectors pointing to "no". God's lack of presence is strongly apparent here. 95211     An image of Christ has appeared on the drywall in a church flooded by Hurricane Katrina in Saraland, Alabama. "It's like God is trying to show people he's real," said Marlette Holt, a minister at the Triumph Learning and Worship Center for Life. The nearest Yo-God God detector is about 100 miles away in Shalimar, Florida, but no movement of that detector has been reported. If you live in or near Saraland, let me know and I'll send you a detector to bring to the church. Dean 36571     This dang thing has never moved in almost 4 years! Not surprised though. 49508     I'm concerned that the paper behind the needle has pouched up toward the glass--perhaps it will create too much resistance for the needle and render the detector ineffective. P.S. Got the detector in a converted cigarette machine in the Whitney Museum, which had the neat idea of replacing the smokes with this and other small art pieces. 02459     I do need to add the general comment that God is apparently a very poor communicator. President and Bin Laden each think he is guided by God, but the messages appear to be quite contradictory. Which brings to mind this question: What is the difference between (and how do you prove it) someone who knows or hears God and someone who is delusional? 02459     Just got my Watch-Of-Turin in the mail, nothing yet... we tried against my friends*cough* parts *cough* cause we had this theory, but it was a bust. Will be adamantly watching throughout... I dunno... the rest of my life? 11753     Went to Belle Chere in Asheville, N. Carolina and back to Raleigh. Nothing so far! Purchased at Art-o-mat in Carrburito's,Chapel Hill, July 2006. 27603     I got this little doohickey while on an outing with my girlfriend. Shortly afterward we broke up because she couldn't get over her old boyfriend. An interesting note: she thinks *he* is god, so maybe this thing does work. I have noted no movement of the dial, though I only check sporadically (as I am already confident there is no "God", per se) and the little paper insert is warped and may interfere with the movement of said dial. I am moving in a few days and, sadly, my God Detector will not be able to make it. I am sure when I take out the trash it will be like the end of a Twilight Zone episode in which the camera pans from a sober Rod Serling to my cast-off God Detector lying amongst coffee grounds and cigarette butts, perhaps as the garbage men dump it into their truck, as the dial slowly moves to "yes".I got this little doohickey while on an outing with my girlfriend.

The Twilight Zone was such a great show. 60615     I notice the report I just posted is duplicated. This kind of creeps me out. Is it a sign? The God Detector did not notice this occurance. Maybe it is simply a Copy/Paste error, as I spent 3, maybe 4, hours composing my post in a highly competetive open source word processor and subsequently copied it into the web form. I will have to rethink my plans to discard the God Detector. Maybe I will regift it, instead... Maybe I'll sleep with it under my pillow... Nope. Still no movement. The God Detector's future hangs in the balance. Perhaps I will snuff out its existence. Perhaps I will give it many progeny or make it the bringer of my Word. Blessed are the meek. 60615     I did a really REALLY bad fart today. Retribution for blasphemy perhaps? UK     the detector started moving for oneminute.it was crazy. 80906     No movement. I'm pretty pissed about it, too. 60647     Last week my 17 year-old son's string quartet played at Carnegie Hall! Dean     So, the first day i got it, i was holding it in my hand and looking at it for the hundredth time or so, and as i'm looking at it i look outside and the door falls of my car. Physically falls off. Dial hasn't moved though. 48120     My god detector arrived today as an early xmas present from a friend of mine. It arrived showing no activity, and has maintained that state throughout my installation of it. So apparently my friend was not inspired by the almighty unknown to send it to me. 61801     My husband received a "Christmas Bonus" 3 times the amount of last year's just 3 days after receiving our God Detector! The dial has not moved, despite the fact that I mocked it while standing in a Baptist church this morning. 75662     After receiving my Yo-God God Detector, a very good thing happened to me: I realized that God doesn't exist! This is a great day indeed!! Okinawa, Japan     Nearly three years and not a twitch. "Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God" is the believer's way of dealing with the fact that their gods simply do not exist. 93704     What a week! I've prepared for an important interview. I laid out food for god and sacrificed my best wife. No movement on my dial and I didn't get the job. God, what are you doing? Chatham, England     My boss bought me the God detector so that I could be 'nearer to thee' and help with planning my life. No movements to report. GOD1     Still waiting for it to move.... 33625     It's been 5 years now since Yo-God! started. Now there are over 3,500 detectors all over the world, and still we have no reliable reports of dial movement. Yo, God! Dean Booth     I was so happy to receive my YO GOD DETECTORS before Easter. I took this one to my in-laws for Easter dinner. I checked the dial after the holding hands around the table prayer before the meal. There was no movement. I really dislike going to church, but now that I have this YO GOD DETECTOR, I can pass the time by watching it instead of the service. I will be very surprised if the dial ever moves, but I will keep you informed. Thank-you for these wonderful tools, I will keep one with me at all times. Keith 06405     No movement. I still believe there's a God, though. I just think he's too much of an asshole to actually move the meter (or do anything else positive) and let me know he exists, much less gives a damn. 37013     The dial on my standard model cruised over from "no" to "yes" then stopped halfway back, pointing to the text above. I know this is a sign. It stopped directly in the middle pointing to "God Detector" which is exactly what this device is... A GOD DETECTOR!!! I'm so gleeful ~peace 72703     I have 5 Yo-God God Detectors, 2 Yo-God T-shirts with a detector printed on the front, 1 iron-on Yo-God image, and an electronic version on my desk top. Not once has a single one of the indicators moved, despite my fervent prayers to every god I can think of. I'm beginning think it might be a waste of time. 93704     Maybe if I moved to Fayetteville? 93704     I woke up this morning, went downstairs to the kitchen and the Yo-God God Detector just magically appeard on my countertop. It was not there yesterday! From this, I deduced that God himself had placed it there thus proving to me that he does not exist (as the dial has not wavered in the slightest from 'no' since it's appearance). 46143     Hola, aun no se ha movido nada mi detector,aunque busco sin parar, he probado en el avion y he llegado a la conclusion de que por estar mas cerca del cielo no estas mas cerca de dios, asi que ahora busco en otros sitios, de momento sin exito...pero lo conseguiré, y si no.. me da igual.. total, no he creido nunca en él..      My detector hasn't registered any movement yet, but HBO comes in better on it than on my HDTV. Praise Jesus! Patrick Nutley, NJ 07110     Just after I orderd my God detector I got to choose a $1000.00 gift for my 5 year loyalty to the company I'm working for. And when the detector arrived the one stock I invested in reached new all time highs. I guess it's true that only atheists will go to heaven! Tienen, Belgium     Upon seeing my brand new detector my religious wife proclaimed that it was not working to which I replied "it definitely IS!!!" Tienen, Belgium     I carry my pocket-watch God Detector with me everywhere. The dial never moves, even when I hold it next to people who THINK they are God! I have a display of God Detectors in my shop..kids pick them up, shake them and say, "It's not working", and I always reply, "Oh yes it is"! 21701     I'm still waiting for the needle to move. It's been like 3 years now. 85023     I think mine is broken. The needle does not move when I hold it. 61301     Haha! It moved. But than again I am god and I made it move. So that could be why. 334343     I have a miracle to report. Last week I dropped my keys and the key yo-god key chain as getting into my car without realizing it. I then ran over my keys with my car. When I returned home later and saw the keys in the drive way, I promptly inspected my God detector. Though the entire casing was crushed and the detector was in many pieces, the detection face was fully intact and still reading "No". the conclusion is obvious, that the hand did not move and that the face was not destroyed with the rest of the detector, clearly proves that God exists as both were miracles. God works in mysterious ways! Amen. 02915     Ever since I became an atheist 36 years ago my mother has been praying for my reconversion to Roman Catholicism. She has also persuaded a number of local nuns (no doubt for a hefty bribe---excuse me, offering) to offer up their prayers for the same intention. I purchased two detectors several years ago, figuring that God would know that I'm scientifically minded and would reveal his presence via one or both devices. Needless to say, neither dial has budged from NO. Whenever anyone says that they're praying for me, I always tell them to ask God to manifest himself in a way known only to me--the Yo, God! Detector. Well, faith is supposed to move mountains. All I ask is that God move a little, teeny dial hand. Nothing in nearly 5 years!!! At this point, I can think of no better proof that there's no God. 01011     I am very concerned that my god detector is not working properly. As a faithful and practicing Pastafarian, I have made every effort to get the dial to move. I have gone so far as to drop the detector into a pot of boiling pasta, but still no movement. Something here is wrong. This detector has been touched by many of His Noodly Appendages, and not a twitch. Does this thing really detect gods? With appreciation and a hearty rAmen - Lord Bartholomew Cruikshank. 93704     It ruined my life. I'm homeless. I have 18 kids. I have no job. I live in a cardboard box with a crappy bathroom. Bush was elected again. I eat stray cats. And my sister became a vegetarian. 04843     I've actually had my God Detector for about three years but hadn't checked in. So here it is: not a scrap of movement. 53024     Two or three years now ... zip, nadda, zilch, squat, no-ting, crapola. L9W 5E3     I keep prayin' but nothings happening. That dial don't move! Oh god, why have you forsaken thee? Waaaaahhhhh! tee hee 78758     I purchased two Yo-God detectors as X-mas gifts (2008). I gave one to my brother in San Diego. I kept the other for myself. On Christmas Day, my sister came over to help make the X-mas feast. While peeling the potatoes, she unveiled a tiny face on one of the spuds. We decided it was the the face of The Sweet Baby Jesus and ran to check the Yo-God detector. It had not moved. Still, we saved the Baby-Jesus-spud-face, placed it in a zip lock bag and stashed it in the freezer. Maybe I'll sell it on Ebay. I can post the photo on this site if you want! (I'll get back to you on that later) Alison Here is a photo of Alison's holy potato. Thank's Alison! -- Dean 91423     No movement. Little hope for any movement. Despair is setting in. Oh death, where is thy sting? 51503     It doesn't detect any signal in every part of my home:-( 38068     I have had several god detectors since 2002. One has remained in my office, one in my home, one on my keychain. I frequently go to churches in the area to take funny pictures with my daughter mocking religion - obviously my GD comes with me. Not once, not in the slightest since 2002 have one of my GDs moves. This leads me to the obvious conclusion god is weak, impotent, scared of a fraud. The last being the most realistic. 46112     Day 3 with my detector and... Today's Thanksgiving,about 2pm, and my family has already drank themselves "three sheets to the wind." All of their joy and laughter seems genuine but that will soon change. I refuse to say grace at the dinner table this year. They've always ask me to do it at Thanksgiving. It's family tradition. Now, no thanks to my shiny new God Detector, I see that there's an empty reality behind the facade of all of our prayers and chatter to God. I've decided that until I get a reply on my device, which isn't too much to ask an omnipresent creator, I doubt I'll ever say "grace" again. Maybe I'll just thank my family for understanding, instead? I hope they don't hit me... 06810     Day 3 with my detector and...

I have looked at on sunday when most people are in church.. no change, I have looked at it when I received my grades back from my classes.. no change. I will have to check out whether or not anything happens during Hanukkah and Christmas. 14623     Since I bought my god detector, I have looked at it compulsively every couple of hours just to make sure that it did not change.

What does this mean? Clearly this must be a sign from some type of GOD.....I was considering that possibly I am Channeling the GOD of comedy -- Lenny Bruce. By my estimation,there are two conflicting issues with my hypotheses: 1) In my mind, Lenny Bruce is indeed NOT at all dead....but rather living on an island jammed full of feeding tubes and being kept alive with JFK, Elvis and James Coco ---2)The practice of "Channeling" (as stated above)is a Pagan belief, and runs counter to the Christian religion--- ergo, not in concert with the Jesus image on the front of my oh so attractive pocket watch style G.D.. So, Dean, tell me..... what shakes? Why can I not stop laughing since I've received my G.D.? ...oh well....gotta go....my stomach hurts like HELL!

It had been sitting on a shelf in my spare bedroom for I guess several years. Strangely enough, it's still pointing to "no." I wasn't supposed to calibrate the detector, was I? 68122     Ah ha! It moved ! Thanks to my hand. H2T1W7     It's been a bit over five years since I bought my God Detector. Still no movement.
