Uri Geller may have psychic powers by means of which he can bend spoons; if so, he appears to be doing it the hard way.

The only difference is that religion is much better organized and has been around much longer, but it's the same story with different characters and different costumes.

There exists in society a very special class of persons that I have always referred to as the Believers. These are folks who have chosen to accept a certain religion, philosophy, theory, idea or notion and cling to that belief regardless of any evidence that might, for anyone else, bring it into doubt. They are the ones who encourage and support the fanatics and the frauds of any given age. No amount of evidence, no matter how strong, will bring them any enlightenment. They are the sheep who beg to be fleeced and butchered, and who will battle fiercely to preserve their right to be victimized.

A quick example of that is a woman who said she'd been healed of throat cancer where the faith healer admitted he touched her on the forehead.

I want to be cremated, and I want my ashes blown in Uri Geller's eyes.

Feeling better is not actually being better.

People who are smart get into Mensa. People who are really smart look around and leave.
