But hey ... if you need to believe and enjoy believing it ... what the hell ...

Or, if this is a joke thread ... and you're just jerking us around ... believe me, I'm laughing too
I don't think the fact that something CAN be faked proves that everyone doing it is a fake. I'm sure there is literature teaching you how to con people into thinking you can do many things, but that doesn't mean everyone in all those professions is also a fraud. That kind of logic is flawed, I'm sure you can admit.

Don't tell me I need to believe. I am very far from needing to believe.

I am still officially agnostic even after seeing probably 100 episodes of John Edward's show and realizing that it is more likely than not that he getting his information from somewhere we don't understand.

That's what's great about being agnostic, you admit that you don't understand everything, and you are open minded. You sound like an atheist? Are you? Being skeptical is one thing, but being cynical and close minded is unhealthy (in my opinion).
