Believe it or not, each year nearly $2 billion is spent by Americans for psychic answers to their problems. For example organizations such as the Psychic Readers, or Psychic Believers Network charge anywhere from $2 to $5 a minute to supposedly answer people's questions, mostly about the future.To point out the silliness of this practice, here's a "Top Ten List of Questions for Telephone Psychics":
10. Why don't psychic hot lines call you right before you call them?
9. Why do phone psychics have to ask for your credit card number?
8. If you have a friend who works for a psychic network, should you plan a surprise birthday party for him or her?
7. Why is it you never see the headline, "PSYCHIC WINS LOTTERY"?
6. Is it possible for a "psychic fair" to be cancelled due to unforeseen circumstances?
5. Does a psychic amnesiac know in advance what he is going to forget?
4. Do people with psychic powers get nostalgic about next week?
3. Why don't people understand that psychics are only doing what they're doing because it makes them feel less poor?
2. If psychics can tell the future, why haven't they retired on their stock options?
And the number one question for psychics is: Would a midget fortune-teller who escaped from prison be called a small medium at large?
By the way, did you hear the one about the frog and his psychic? A frog telephones the psychic hot line and is told, "You are going to meet a beautiful young girl who will want to know everything about you." The frog says, "This is great! Will I meet her at a party, or what?" "No," says the psychic. "Next semester in her biology class."
God just doesn't describe it as silliness, but knows there is a serious aspect about those that consult psychics, mediums, wizards, consulting the dead, channeling, etc:
Lev 20:6 "If a person turns to mediums and wizards, playing the harlot after them, I will set my face against that person, and will cut him off from among his people." RSV
