Derren Brown Interview (1/6) - Richard Dawkins

There are bad psychics out there, John Edwards comes to mind, but I think you're wrong to say most are like that. Any significant change requires vulnerability; a patient is vulnerable under a doctor's scalpel, a mentally ill person is vulnerable to the psychiatrist, a citizen if vulnerable to the police. This isn't bad in itself, it becomes bad when people use this power to take advantage of others rather than help. However, I will agree there is no oversight of 'psychics' one way or another.

you need to ask yourself about people that even have had the exposure or atheists that have had all the opportunity...they should count themselves fortunate as many people will never get the opportunity to know...so when people throw it away they deserve to destroyed more than anyone else...

thats up to God at the end of the day...No human can determine that..False doctrine would say they get destroyed but i doubt that is the case...

THEIR. NOT THUR.

I agree with parts of your statement... However, what you should keep in mind, is, most pyschics are not good people. Not based on any personality flaws, merely the fact that their profession entails lying to people in a vulnerable state.

babies that die, people brought up as a muslim with no exposure to christianity etc, loads of people may never get the chance to follow Jesus, how is that fair?

opportunity????

@hellokatter Your words read like a parody. It's as though you're not even real.

Dawkins is a smart man, don't get me wrong, but I think he has a tendency to overestimate people's ability to use their rational side. I've taught myself Tarot reading and gone to psychics knowing full well what cold reading is and a lot of the tricks. The good ones use the tricks, but still try to help. Saying "Mercury is in retrograde and you should study more in school" is stronger than "you should study more in school." If the psychic is a good person and help irrational people, who cares?

and where is the evidence for this? have you seen god deal with these people . Thats just yr opinion and everyone is entitled to their own opinion ! that sounded more like a speech from the devil if anyone not an all powerful all loving god. now be gone with you and stop being so disrespectful to other peoples opinions .

He wouldn't have made him if he did.
