But ... but ... the hot chick on the commercial says that, for only 19.95 I can develop my psychic powers to control my destiny!

"Religion will dramatically shrink within 20 years."
Actually this is true, although dramatically is probably an understatement!
"I’m a Clairvoyant except I have to wait for it to come to me."
What do you mean by this, do you hear spirits? or does this info just enter you?

Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell

I’m a Clairvoyant Person without any super natural powers, that’s mainly a religious wise tale. I can’t imagine God given the Christians a plan with their road record. Also when claiming to know God or the spirit world and the higher energy tends to become more elusive and evasive to that claim.
How it works for me is I cast out to the Universe a question, if it is a silly or weak answer back, it’s because it’s was a weak question to begin with. Then I cast out a better question, it oddly give me a better answer than I could have imagined.
Nobody has been to the spirit world and come back. Yet with general world consensus about 90% of people sense a higher energy or some answer to a high energy source of good intention.
I’m very curiosity and conscious of my senses in both states at the same time. I do not understand a lot about clairvoyant or the paranormal and psychic abilities. All I do know is that it works for me and helps other people. I do know when people are going to die and I learned how to block it too . There are many shamanic figures, offices and practices throughout history. Jesus was said to be Shaman, I think he was an amateur shaman because he did not write things down himself, Look at it today, it caused many wrong translations

20 years? I doubt that. Perhaps in another few hundreds years.
I agree with you that religion is indeed shrinking, but at a slow rate. As Carl Sagan says; extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, clairvoyance is not a proper type of evidence.
Here:

Maybe, I should have not brought up, I’m clairvoyance. Now many of the atheists will over focus on that, rather than the many sound enough reasons I given on this thread, Many have not doubted much on the 8 reasons first given.

Religion will probably not diminish in the United States. This country is the most religious first world country in the world.
Republicans keep on trying to get prayer in school and other delusional rubbish to be passed through the Senate via assorted "freedom of religion bills", Congressmen still believe that the Second Coming is a reason to destroy the environment and to the theoretical hell with the consequences, studies show that 60+ percent of Americans said they would not vote for an atheist, and, to top it off, Ann Coulter and Bill O'Reilly and all the other extreme right fanatics
are preaching hate against anyone that dares to disagree with or do something contradictory to the views of them and their target audience.

I think the correct word is overstatement.
Quote:"I think it's perfectly possible to explain how the universe came about without bringing God into it, but I don't know everything, and there may well be a God somewhere, hiding away. Actually, if he is keeping out of sight, it's because he's ashamed of his followers and all the cruelty and ignorance they're responsible for promoting in his name. If I were him, I'd want nothing to do with them."
