I'm curious, are you as rabidly against religion as you are psychics? Isn't telling a child, if he/she isn't good (along with all the other bazaar religious teachings) that it will fry in hell--isn't that just as abusive? If not more so?
What about the promises medical doctors make to their patients? More often than not, they don't heal the patient at all--just fill 'em full of dangerous, and ultimately ineffective drugs. Using them as science experiments they call "surgery." All while they're filling their pockets plenty. And so many lawyers bleed their clients dry, ultimately with little or no benefit to their client. And you think the bane of our society is psychics?
And you don't have a clue regarding psychic ability. I don't think, I know, that you, among others of your ilk will be looked upon as fools in the future in this regard. When we all, finally, become aware that this is not only a very real ability, but that we do indeed all possess it. Your kind will be akin to those who mocked the likes of Edison, the Wright brothers, etc. They'll watch over and over again this ridiculous toy-truck video of you, and have so many laughs at your expense.
As for the people with the missing daughter, what if they now go on to find that this psychic's predictions were exactly true. What then? Will you then (and they) make a statement on this news show, an apology for your harsh statements and judgment? They hired her to tell them what information she could garner psychically. She gave it to them. Just like a doctor might tell a client they have a disease--only to find several other doctors who accurately discover that this diagnosis was not true. But in the meantime, the client was horrified, believing they had this disease. Do you have any programs speaking of the first doctor who is clearly a charlatan? Taking money under false pretense. Don't you think we should get rid of all those charlatan docs that inaccurately diagnose, help them overcome their delusional belief that they're doctors? lol
Psychics are no different than other people, they aren't perfect, they make mistakes. Why is it you think they should be perfect, that they should always be right? Because you, small-minded one, are petrified of the possiblity that this is a very real thing--that mere mortals, that even you, would have such a power.
I must say though, at this future point of awareness, it will be so much fun watching the faces of long-time skeptics when they become the object of mockery, their ignorance on full display. It will happen, I assure you. I'm psychic ;)
