You can choose to not believe things, "science" does it all the time.
Pray tell, is everyone who experinces a "laying on of hands" part of the
con? Or how about reiki, or the kundalani experinces that some have
experinced?
Chiropactory and acupunture were thought of as "self delusion" until just
a decade ago. Same as herbal medicine, even though the drug companies
conviently leave out the fact that until the mid-seventies, everything they
did was based off of plants and natural mutationsof pre-existing microbes.
Or how about "theraputic touch" (part reiki and part shiatsu), which has
been part of the training for many Canadian nurses for over a decade, and
the hospitals that require this training have seen a 15% cut in secondary
and postop infections, along with similiar reductions in healing time for
patients who are cared for by these men and women? These rates are too
high tobe psychosomatic
Tell me, have you ever tasted a photon? Experinced the time-space
dialtaion of supralight travel? Witnessed the Big Bang?

Boy, trust me, this stuff is real. Just becuase you are part of the
population that can't experince it due to a defective processor isn't my
problem.
