My Mother the Psychic

[là bạn điên]

How disgusting you are. You want my mother, silly as she is, to have a slow and painfull death because she thinks she is helping someone? You really are a most unpleasant person.

She doesn't think she's helping anyone. She's a pathological liar who is out to exploit vulnerable people for financial gain. If you believe she she doesn't know exactly what she's doing, then you're as gullible as any of the people she's ripped off.

My Mother is not a pathological liar. She is deeply dedicated to what she does.
She is no more a pathological liar than any religious person. I think you have serious issues.

Uh, what? Christian? Sophistry? I think your emotions are getting in the way of actually understanding what I earlier wrote.

Then you think wrong. You reply was a non sequiter. I am not very emotional. I don;t even get very emotional when someone as despicable as Nora brimstone wishes my mother a slow and painfull death

Because if one poses as a professional, one should have the knowledge that comes with the field. I repeat, if you mother sees it fit to take money from others, claiming that she provides anything else than placebo, she is dishonest and a fraud. To say that one believes is a cop-out, one should know.

She 'poses' as a professional medium. The healing bit comes free. As a medium she is as 'qualified' as any priest or Imam. Priests do the same thing when they 'pray for you'.

You haven't explained why beleif is a 'cop out' you have just claimed it is without justification

All religions live off the gullible. What is the difference between what my mother does and what any other person who is paid by a religion does?

Nothing; and that's the whole point. In one sweeping sentence you simultaneously deride the actions of the religious and defend your mother for doing the exact same thing, all based on the principle of caveat emptor. Then you get all offended when people tell you what you ought to have expected that they think. Using your own aged mother as bait to flame a forum? That's even more disgusting than the responses you got.

I am not all offended'(except by norabrimstone) though I do think this pack mentality is rather unpleasant. I treat my mother as I would If I was the child of a Vicar. I don't beleive in it but nothing I will do will change here mind and she is far too old to change. If it were my 20 year old neice it would be a different matter.

I am certainly not flaming a forum.I am bringing up for discussion how one treats someone who is in your familly with very different views.

However I accept many opf you get your kicks by being aggressive and abusive so just carry on.
