Dear parapsychologists, I invite you to convince me that you are scientists.

Please don’t call me names and insult me.

I promise nothing.

No one, not one person who is a psychic will ever apply for the money under Randi’s terms. It would be very stupid. Now, Randi provides no level playing field, the “test” is conducted behind closed doors with no observer permitted for the psychic.

I’ve seen Randi test psychics on live television. An audience of millions certainly counts as an observer.

Randi refused even after the psychic offered to pay all the expenses of the fliming.

Cite?

Among psychic and spiritual people Randi is a joke, but he is a hero to the skeptics who support him with their money.

I’m spiritual and Randi isn’t a joke to me.

I heard him on Larry King live tell everyone he could take one “cold reading” and read any number of people with it and be accurate. The audience booed him so much Larry had to ask them to quiet down.

So an audience booed him? What does that prove? Everybody in this debate will grant that Randi is crabby, gruff, and not a crowd pleaser. That has no bearing on whether or not he is right.

All civilizations, ancient and modern, have honored their psychics.

Cite?

My site gets thousands of hits a month and many email me kind letters of thanks for the information I provide.

So your cite gets hits. So what? So does the hamsterdance.

I can tell by your posts that while you claim to seek and speak the truth you actually avoid the truth with every fiber of your being. I wish I could help start you on the road to healing. I want to open your cage and show you wonders. But, you vehemently resist any attempt to open your prison. I want to give you new eyes, but you defend empty, suppurating sockets and claim to see the truth.

@lekatt

Just forget it, that’s the best course of action. I am not interested in whether you believe in psychics or not. There are much more important things in this world.

Lekatt

Well, given that you don’t care whether someone is converted to your beliefs or not, why are you here? AFAICT, no one is buying-into your delusions and many members just consider you a loon.
You have no facts, you have no evidence that isn’t easily faked or simply someone’s mistake. You believe because you want to believe, no actual evidence required.
