Psychic Trade Booming

If preachers and popes are respected why not psychics who prey on nitwits?

“There is no question that psychics-mediums have become much more respected,” said Patricia Baker, a sociologist and psychotherapist in Boston who is working on a book about people’s changing attitudes toward authority.

“And it definitely seems that people are turning to them more for their problems, particularly when terrorism, war and scandals have caused people to question our political and religious leaders.”

Psychics see success in their future

I don't see any difference between preachers and psychics except that the popes and such are backed by institutions and the other folks are in it individually. The believers are the same as far as their needs and psychology goes. The main thing religion has to trump the psychic with is a social support network and an ingroup-outgroup dynamic which allows them to be much more powerful in the long run.

Neither do I. TV psychics and TV preachers are the same to me.

How do you feel?

Feel free to share your feelings about Psychic Trade Booming. Please stick to the theme of the entry. Disagreement is fine. Homophobia, racism, and kindred expressions of hatred will be deleted. This site is one of my hobbies. I genuinely enjoy hearing from people and hate moderating or killing comments. Forthright disagreement is fine as long as it is civil.
My thanks,
Richard
