RE: Psychic Powers (Debunked)
My clairvoyance predicted this thread.

But in all seriousness, people who think they are psychic are either pissing about, trying to make money or are delusional.

That is also pretty much my experience so far,although I'd add 'victims of confirmation bias".However, I'm unwilling to make a positive claim. A skeptic, all I'm willing to assert is "I don't believe in psychics or the paranormal due to lack of evidence."

Yeah, I sometimes pretend to be psychic, it's fun Big Grin

Scepticism is the position we should all take, given no concrete evidence.

Does believing that I am a prophet with direct mental channel to god make me a psychic?

I can predict this thread discussion will end in a near time...

That is an excellent video. I love seeing science in action, debunking pseudoscience like that.
It's no small wonder why mythbusters is as popular as it is, it's the spirit of everything that is in that video.
If today you can take a thing like evolution and make it a crime to teach in the public schools, tomorrow you can make it a crime to teach it in the private schools and next year you can make it a crime to teach it to the hustings or in the church. At the next session you may ban books and the newspapers...
Ignorance and fanaticism are ever busy and need feeding. Always feeding and gloating for more. Today it is the public school teachers; tomorrow the private. The next day the preachers and the lecturers, the magazines, the books, the newspapers. After a while, Your Honor, it is the setting of man against man and creed against creed until with flying banners and beating drums we are marching backward to the glorious ages of the sixteenth centry when bigots lighted fagots to burn the men who dared to bring any intelligence and enlightenment and culture to the human mind. ~Clarence Darrow, at the Scopes Monkey Trial, 1925

Politics is supposed to be the second-oldest profession. I have come to realize that it bears a very close resemblance to the first. ~Ronald Reagan

No, because the prophets are believed to be given special wisdom only from God, unlike the psychics. They cannot read God's mind except by His own revelations.
