		<description>I think the key point here is that every religion is based on stories like that. Stories that give peope faith. Its the same as Jesus walking on water and healing people...I don&#039;t believe in any of it, but if it gives people faith and they use that faith to do good things...then those stories (fake or not) do have a purpose.</description>

		<description>My theory is always like this:

It&#039;s a whole fraternity of some sort. Only people within the circle (the mediums) know the inside out of the tricks that made up this profession. It&#039;s like magicians, only the magicians in the guild knows the tricks and its deepest darkest secrets. 

This medium thingy, to me, uses a combination of psychology and religious fears to ensure that devotees keep coming back and spread the word about the effectiveness and how real the mediums are.

One of my distant relative&#039;s sister is one such medium, so I have various experiences at her house (half converted to a temple-like environment). Just that after all these years, I&#039;m still not buying it - guess that&#039;s just me :)</description>

		<description>after freddy-cum-big-uncle stopped his acting and said what he said to u, then everyone must know for a fact that he is acting, rite? even the believers should be at least smart enough to realize this. if they still &quot;pong chan&quot; him in the future, then these ppl are really buta.</description>

		<description>Kekeke... my mum the other way round. When she or my family go to a few docs, no heal... Then she will head to one of this. Even I dun quite agree with her action, but when realising how that can make her have more strength psychologically in facing the difficulty... I would just shut my mouth and try to be with her by the side only.</description>
