Dear Sage, that's the title of a TV show back in the late 80's and early 90's. one of my all time favorites. There was an episode there where the hero said that we must not let people believe in superstition, lies, psychics because when they start believing in these frauds they become vulnerable to dictatorships and all forms of tyranny.
First time I heard it was in a rerun of that TV show. I did not understand it. Then I realized that there is more than a grain of truth in what the character said.
When a person hears self-proclaimed psychic or psychic promoters like jimmy lichauco, rene mariano and madame auring, he hears people who speak of things he does not understand. He may rightfully think that what these people are saying is CRAP. BUT... Out of ignorance and lack of education, he may also think that GOD is mysterious and beyond understanding. So he may erroneously think that these people are speaking the language of GOD.
Politicians use these gullibility to their advantage. You know why Nostradamus became famous in the first place? A certain adolf hitler used the writing of this obscure french guy to make a self serving prediction. He used a Quartrain (a part of the french guy's book) to say that nostradamus predicted that he will be victorious in his war against the allied powers. It was purely psychological warfare.
What's hilarious is that the allied powers used THE SAME BOOK OF THAT FRENCH GUY to predict that they will win their war against the axis.
What is not funny anymore is that when the allies won the war, people actually started believing the propaganda of the allies about nostradamus-- they forgot that his quartrains are so vague, even hitler USED them in his own propaganda to predict a victory that NEVER WAS.
Please don't believe the propaganda of tyrants about so called psychics. They are as clueless about the future as everyone else.
The God who loves each and everyone so much is the God of Logic, of Mathematics, of Science, of TRUTH. His ways and language is mysterious BUT please remember that self proclaimed psychics DO NOT SPEAK for him.
There is a really, really stupid game show out there called "deal or no deal". It does not test any skill that the contestant may have. whether one wins or lose depends on Mathematical probability (dumb people call it "luck")
Thank God he found a way to use even a lowly game show like this to enlighten us and warn us about believing in abominations called "psychics". They are abominations because I think I've read somewhere in Jeremiah that these people (Psychics/false prophets) "prophecy of things they have not seen"-- which means they are abominations in the eyes of God not because they have demonic powers but because they PRETEND they have supernatural/demonic capabilities.
Somebody should sue them for fraud.
Anyway, back to the game show, a so-called "psychic" (rene mariano) was dumb enought to accept the invitation to be one of the contestants. The video below will show you how foolish it is to entrust one's faith in somebody who PRETENDS he can see the future.
Enjoy!!!

Dear Sage, there's one born every minute.
Dear Anonymous, wanna buy the brooklyn bridge?
Hahaha, oh God, these spammers talaga. Why don't you put up Blogger's anti spam thingy, pre. :-)
that was just too eerie to watch. he was just toying with us. he really was gunning for the 75-peso
case. it would've been too predictable if he went after the 2-million one. what brilliance! and he doesn't need the money anyways. hindi na pinakita yung clip na sumasakay siya sa spaceship niya sa parking lot ng abs-cbn.
p.s. don't mean to burst your bubble but it's actually MacGyver (don't worry, i searched for the spelling using McGuyver. parang pang happy meal.).
hahaha! pleased to make your acquaintance, Raver. 75 bucks? maybe it really was for a happy meal.
