Long Island Medium

RE: Long Island Medium
No... but the psychologist isn't claiming to have magical powers. You're getting what is described, before handing over your money.

If the crap was cut and someone was simply selling "good luck", would the government step in then?

Piffle!
That'd be like saying that there's no difference between getting instructions on airbag explosives handling or a lecture on summoning forest spirits.

Yep, and if psychics were real Vegas would be out of business. It is a fucking scam and they know it.

But they did give a heads up! You didn't hear? ...

Repeatability would be a difference between psychiatrists and psychics.

If a depressed person went to 10 psychiatrists, I'd like to think at least 9 of them would diagnose depression. Go to 10 psychics, and your readings are going to range from you're the reincarnation of the illegitimate offspring of Marilyn Monroe and Bigfoot to your chakra is constipated from the negative aura from your cat who is possessed by alien time travelers.
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

I'd say the same thing to morons who consult psychics as I do with those who think prayer works. Don't be half assed about it, when the shit hits the fan go with the frauds and don't seek help elsewhere.

The difference there is that even though it isn't physical, psychology is a real service/product, while magic powers are not. Selling a product or service that doesn't exist is fraud.
Verbatim from the mouth of Jesus (retranslated from a retranslation of a copy of a copy):

"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you too will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. How can you see your brother's head up his ass when your own vision is darkened by your head being even further up your ass? How can you say to your brother, 'Get your head out of your ass,' when all the time your head is up your own ass? You hypocrite! First take your head out of your own ass, and then you will see clearly who has his head up his ass and who doesn't." Matthew 7:1-5 (also Luke 6: 41-42)

That's my point. How do you tell a grieving gullible widow that it isn't real if she is "really" feeling comforted by the scammer? Religion is successful for exactly the same reason.

Otherwise the Pope needs to be tried as the biggest mafia con artist of all time.

I agree, I find organised religion taking people's money to be similarly disgusting.
