Mythology & Folklore - September 2006

A great many people believe in astrology, psychics, ESP, faith healing, ancient prophecy, and a hundred other fantastic and ridiculous notions.

Some are just having fun and hadn't really thought about it. Others are presented with scientific evidence to the contrary, or asked to think more critically about their beliefs, and they can't be bothered (or think they already do).

This last group is scary. They offer no evidence (because there is none) yet they steadfastly believe, for whatever reason. They demonstrate such gullibility that they're clearly susceptible to being pawns in the spread of dangerous misinformation of all kinds. Another Dark Ages may be in our future.

Why don't they put their mouths where the $$$ is?!

Here's where it is: www.randi.org/research/index.html This is a well-established educational organization devoted to promoting critical thought. The offer is real.

Could it be--just maybe--that they can't? I mean if anything talks as loud as BS, it's money!

My wife is leaving me and I know that if I can just keep her from drifting away and sit down to talk about our issues we will be ok. But her parents have a strong hold on her and keep pressure on to just walk away from me and stay tight to them. I only want her to actually stop and give "us" a chance to work out our issues.
