Some Christians Scoff at Psychic Readings. Believe Prayers Instead

                                                    

Periodically on religious sites I read condemnations of "Psychics." The old joke was the fortune teller who read about you in a crystal ball. There are palm readers, tea leaves, and as discussed in the link, those who receive energy from the earth. The latter is associated with paganism. 

Driving across the country side I often see "prayer works" signs along the road. The one above is a yard sign for sale a $27.50. I've not seen one for sale that says, "palm reading works." Maybe there is a business opportunity there.

We all know there have been competing spiritual ideas chasing after the gullible since forever. The Ten Commandments include one with the backstory of these ideas. It says, "Thou Shalt Have on other Gods Before You," admitting there were other gods, or hucksters promoting other gods, when the 10C were written. 

It baffles me that Christians ridicule other religions as man-made and their own something better. There can be no doubt the Judeo-Christian version of invisible gods is man-made. The faith would serve its own interests by taking the humble route and admitting their version is no better and no worse than the thousands of others that exist today and have existed over our human history of 300,000 years.
