ÉPOCA:Why do women seem to believe more in weird things than men?
Shermer: That isn’t true. Men and women, indistinctly, have the same tendency to believe those things. What changes is the type of weird thing. Women believe more in mediums, spiritualists, fortunetellers, witchcraft, amulets, alternative medicine and healers. Men prefer to believe in the paranormal, pseudoscience, creationism and UFOs.
Well, that is certainly pretty disturbing stuff. But then again, what is the difference between this woman conning people and the evangelist Bible bashers who do exactly the same? Both are in it to line their own pockets.
Here in the buckle of the bible belt the number of evangelical theives preaching a wealth-based "doctrine" has multiplied exponentially in recent times.

Nope, I got it. As I see it anyone who cannot immediately see through her thin new agey upper middle-class WASP soccermom "Shaman" venier deserves to get taken to the cleaners. She serves her purpose. She & those like her serve as a lesson to stupid people.

Absolutely tragic statistics of life on the reservations. Life expectancy 45 years. Infant mortality rate 300% of the rest of the US. Teenage suicide 150% of the rest of the US. Absolutely disgusting. What a travesty to such an ancient & noble people. Then there are those who would call it divine providence.
Yes, those are indeed conditions where true spirituality is born. As the saying goes, Religion are for those who fear Hell. Spirituality is for those who have been there & unfortunately native Americans are living it as they are pushed into slow extinction.
