It's too hard to fake sincerity for a lot of people. The big name Evangelicals have learned that it's easier to just convince themselves that God wants them to get rich. (They spend their whole lives believing what they want to be true anyway.)

Once they reach that point, the rest is easy.

It's called Prosperity Gospel, and TV was made for it, and vice versa.

I would say that the religious extremists actually believe the bullshit they are selling to the rubes, but then again I’m sure there are plenty who are also just in it for the Amero$. So fuckers all the way down.

I’m sure it was part of the scam, something to help it seem more legit. Robyn jokes, but quite possibly it WAS supposedly to perform the exorcism on, it had to be Purest Cotton Blessed by the Pharos.

Oh no, her $71k scale PALES at the scope of what religious fucknuts have scammed out of their congregations over the centuries.

I'd like to talk to this psychic's clients. I have some ocean front land in Nebraska I want to sell. OK, the last time it was ocean front was in the Cretaceous, but heck, I'm not lying... technically.

A different story - I had a friend who had a relative who claimed to be psychically gifted, and drove the rest of his family up a wall with her latest "woo" fads. He told me that she wanted to read my palm, and I said "Watch. I'll get her to tell me this, this, and that about my future." He said "That's all complete bullshit!" I said "I know that, you know that, but she won't. Watch." I let her read my palm, and by slightly nodding my head, slight frowns or smiles, led her right down the path to tell me everything I'd said she'd tell me. Behind her, my friend was dying trying to to laugh.

Total speculation, but was she turned in by a competitor? Or her "boss" who she was supposed to turn lucrative clients over to? There's a lot of these frauds out there.

If you do it on TV, its entertainment.... If you do it in your client's garage, its larceny??

I loved the time the female reporter gave one of these quacks a photo of a young "missing" girl and asked for her to give a reading. After a long spiel of bullshit from the psychic about where the girl's body might be, the reporter revealed that the photo of the young girl was of her, taken years before. Talk about your embarrassed psychics.
