Media: Stop Believing in God, You Demon-Haunted Mystic Dullards.
And Now, Here's a Psychic to Help Probe the Mystery of Flight 370.
— Ace

There is one good thing here: I would hit that. In fact I'd hit 80% of this panel.

Repeatedly the Headline News anchor claims that psychics are sometimes consulted in murder and missing persons investigations. Yes, but: They are consulted when a child has been missing for 50 days, and the parents are distraught and inconsolable, and the community is demanding that no stone, no matter how preposterous, remain unturned.

In other words, it's a PR sop to grieving parents and the Do Something!!!! brigade of any community.

But Headline News indulges in the stunt because a reader suggested it.

Why I always take serious heed of the random suggestions of illogical people!!!

The HLN anchor starts off by asking the psychic why she's saying she "sees" a crash when there's no hard evidence of this. The psychic says that psychics should never have hard evidence, because hard evidence may mislead them.

Yeah it's pretty dumb. Another day in the media.

Oh, and when the psychic says she just started looking at this because she's recently been doing readings for friends and family of the presumed victims, there's an audible gasp from one of the guests, I think. Like "Oh my God, we're enabling a charlatan to bilk the grieving and desperate."

Right. That's why you shouldn't have psychics on, you know.

And bravo for claiming you "don't know" if psychics are real or not.

And check the link for a funny Onion parody about the media's behavior in all this.

30 The Malaysian witch doctor was far superior.

Coconuts! Bamboo binoculars!

And his confident announcement that the plane had either come down somewhere, or was still in the air. Yeah, I guess that does cover all the bases, doesn't it? That's why witch doctors pull in the big bucks.

If you have tiles and they are 9 inch by 9 inch there is a good chance. I'm not sure
any sheet goods (one piece floor) had any in it but it might have. If you ever want to do new flooring you are allowed to lay it over the old even if it is asbestos. If you decided to test it you would then have to disclose when you sell your home.

175 There is a creator. Given the number of galaxies and planets out there, as a physicist, I'm guessing he doesn't give a shit about your lotto picks. Just saying.

Here's the problem with that line of thinking: You're projecting your limitations on God. We can only consciously think about one thing at a time, no matter how good at multitasking we think we are. That limitation means we have to focus on what we think is important at the time, or whatever's distracting us at the time. Also, time progresses linearly for us, with a death date at the end. So there are a countdown of how many thoughts we can have.

If those limitations are not present for God, He is able to think about as many things as He wants for as long as He wants. He doesn't have to prioritize "importance" like we do.

She takes sleeping aids in the vain hope that the dreams won't come and tries to avoid being in crowds or around a lot of people.

Yeah, but is she aware of her accuracy rate? Bad things happen to everyone. If you go around having "visions" of bad things happening to enough people, you're going to be right some of the time. Confirmation bias is remembering the times you were right, and forgetting all the times you weren't.

But, all NSA data indicates there were none Â– and Barky has better things to do with Air Force assets. He needs Air Force planes to fly to him to Berkley Bath house fund raisers... and trips to Martha's Wine Yard.

Further, we need to focus on funding for the Barky Museum of Ballot box Stuffing and IRS Dirty tricks. It's Barky's legacy. Sure re-building the Soviet Union is high on the list but the Barky Museum comes first!

I see is no reason spending time looking for some crappy Chinese people who probably did not donate to BarkyÂ’s campaign. The best we can do is act out some limp gestures for the press with one or two search airplanes. Good day.

Session 9 has one of the best integrations of story and plot that I've seen which is good considering that it was written specifically to incorporate Danvers State Hospital. It's very frightening in the old school psychological horror way.

If you want to be sure you don't sleep for awhile, follow that up with Frailty.

227 Has TFG said anything about the missing plane? I avoid him as much as possible so I might have missed it, but I'm not aware of anything. Doesn't he usually have an opinion on everything, whether he knows anything about it or not? Remember "the police acted stupidly"? Remember how he was looking for asses to kick during the Gulf oil spill? I'm beginning to be intrigued about this.

240 For what it is worth, she does not believe in organized religion. In her opinion nobody hs it right and all of these different religions are about power and control. Her name is not Carrie. I have no idea of her accuracy rate as she doesn't discuss it. One helpful shrink told her to take her "gift" and use it to aide the police, which she did do with the approval of her husband. It worked until the case of a missing child. She described it to me as "feeling the physical pain, fear and trauma" . I wish I could joke about it too but it isn't funny. A person with this "gift" is not about making money. They are actually crippled with it. Seeing this stuff makes them experience it too. Never forget it. This is not a gift and she is not crazy. It is a burden

Sophia. Patrick. I'm going to guess part of the production aspect reason is due to child actor working laws. The makeup for "hero" zombies, which you would want them to be, probably takes quite a long time and would severely limit the amount of filming time they can use the kid zombies for.

I can even enjoy a fortune teller. I just hate it if they abuse a confused widow or old person and steal their money. But if I pay $5 for a fortune reader, i want them to pretend it's real. Just like I want the pro wrestlers to pretend they are really fighting and I want Arnie to pretend he's a robot from the future.

Just because she doesnt believe in organized religion doesnt mean she isn't under demonic influence and attack. It can take very little to allow these influences in to our lives. There is very powerful help in the Church and if she can find time to discuss with a priest, she'd be the better for it. FWIW, she will be in my prayers.

266 So sad. A lot of killing has been done in the name of religion. Borgia had his own papal army and a crazed son who killed all rivals and naysayers. The holy toman emperor actually combined various religions into one-his- so he could consolidate his power. The muslim faith is no better, mormons have their own dirty laundry. King Henry decided to create his own church simply because he wanted to divorce his first wife and marry his mistress- whom he later beheaded. The buddhist and Hindu religions are also full of such things. They all have one thing in common though- they mock those they don't understand. I wonder how the Christian church can have what they label as "prophets" give prophecies and then later decree that everyone else who does such things is evil? Any yet so many recite their words reverently and ignore the hypocrisy. Say a mass if you would like but don't forget that one of the popes- Borgia- said plenty of masses too. Meanwhile, his mistress lived in the vagican with him along with all of his bastard children, his mistresses, and the papal army he used to threaten or kill any naysayers or rivals. Hypocrisy does exist and those who label othets as crazy or attention whores might want to check themselves first . Nobody is certain of anything. We all rely on "faith" to keep us going.

275 Yes, terrible things happen to people and they are often done by terrible people causing unbelievable suffering. They are often done in the name of religion. They are also done in the name of Atheism. They are also done by people with mental illnesses. Great things are also done in the name of religion. Are you familiar with Maximillian Kolbe? He was a Roman Catholic priest who was imprisoned by the Nazis and gave his own life up so that a Jewish prisoner might live. Every day there are acts of kindness and generosity and love done by people of religious faith. Such acts are done by Atheists too, but I address Theists because you talked about horrible things done in the name of religion. Organized religion also gave us such great people as John Wesley, John of the Cross (who, by the way, experienced great suffering in his life) St Faustina (who writes repeatedly of love) and numerous others. Suffering is never an easy question to deal with but this is one of the best Christian commentaries I have found in dealing with it, From Peter Kreeft-in the philosophy dept of Boston College: http://www.peterkreeft.com/topics/suffering.htm
