Which would you be more likely to regard with deeper distaste?

Question

1) A fraudulent psychic (in the tradition of Sylvia Browne and John Edwards).

2) A fraudulent televangelist (in the tradition of any televangelist who has ever been proven a fraud).

3) Both equally (with no distinctions to be made between the two).

4) Both equally (but with distinctions to be made between the two).

Answer 1

i started to say the evangelist, but i guess both, equally.

the evangelist, if he claims to be a healer, is jeopardizing people's health.

the psychic, if they claim to solve crimes, may cause an innocent person to be put under scrutiny, or just offer false information, the way sylvia did with the case of the abducted boy in st louis.

sometimes, a psychic seems to offer comfort to people left behind, that, i don't mind.
