The Psychology of the Skeptic

Craig is right. I have never seen a skeptic stop and consider the emotional and psychological damage they cause.

All you need to do damage is have a highly creative and sensitive child and have an authority figure adult who they look up to tell them them that none of the psychic stuff is real. Presto chango, one wrecked life.

No one who is not highly sensitive themselves can really understand why this happens so quickly and does so much damage over such a long period of time. Those who are highly sensitive understand all too well.

yeah, I HATE when skeptics put people through exorcisms and other insane rituals for chasing the devil out! We really need to get them to stop doing that!

Actually, the context was the damage that skeptics do and the example you gave had nothing to do with skeptics.

[craig weiler]

Trying to teach a psychic child that they don't really have a gift is a form of exorcism. It is as much based on belief as what the church does.

Most skeptics to me appears like close brains to accept argument against their most loved and close to heart belief. They without giving a single thought to what believers are saying tend to speak their hate for the psychics to feel themselves happy with the pleasure over it...

[Arouet]

Do you think generalizing a large group of people is open minded?

I might call it efficient.

Then again, so was the holocaust...
