When John Edward says that he can talk to dead people, we say, “No you can’t, because I can’t, and you don’t have any special mental powers that I lack.” When Miss Cleo says that she can tell us the future, mon, we say, “No, you can’t because I can’t, and you don’t have any special mental powers that I lack.” He’s just extending it from John Edward and Miss Cleo to, say, Jerry Falwell.

While I doubt such things happen, I am not prepared to say they absolutely don’t (IAMCA: I am not Cosmically Aware). These people are obviously scam artists, however. Religions do hope you will help support the faith; cults and scams demand cash to play.

I don’t know if you’re kidding or not, but now that you mention it, I absolutely believe that a movie about that man’s beliefs would be amazing.

Half kidding. I don’t know if a whole movie about him would work, but I did love the guy.
