You could be against the paranormal while still believing in the tenets of a major religion, which are less "out there" than the paranormal crap that Randi spent his life debunking.Regardless, I'm fairly certain Randi was an atheist. |

Believe it or not, Sonny Fox is still alive, despite falling off of the Playboy Club's barstools, more than once. It was a short stumble from WNEW's HQ at 205 E 67th St. |
