I hope and pray you find a good optometrist and ear-nose-throat specialist soon. Of course, cleaning the wax out of your ears and refraining from having cum in your eyes shall do wonders for you, too.

That is, like, the most fantastic insult in this history of ever.

Anyway, while I don't believe that there is a spirit named Dave following this guy around and whispering the truth about people in his ear, I also don't believe he's intentionally "full of shit." From what, admitedly little, I've heard from the guy, he appears very genuine. Maybe he's just naturally good at reading people and many people have similar problems? I dunno, and, as long as he isn't forcing people to do something, I don't think it's that bad.

I've got a question for Robert.

You said you were learning Runes an it occurred to me that you would know a lot more about tarot & readings now than when you started. So... If I got a reading from you 5 years ago would it have been less accurate than the reading I would get from you now?

Durrr.

If your a christian -- and a psychic, can you tell if your prayers are going to be answered ahead of time ??

Haha, Keith totally called me out and called me a nerd for my post about Alvarez. "I think Robert Alverez should only be on once a year even though he is already on once a year but I wanted to be the one to say it **sluuurrp**.....
ahhhaaa....whatevz...

As an Atheist I odiously don't believe in any psychic or spiritual existence.

That being said I still respect his passion and his service (to those who want it). People like the comforts of spirituality, and arbitrary debating aside he does a real service and brings comfort and guidance to people seeking it.

I enjoy him as a guest, and can respect that he is good at what he does (even if I dont believe)

My only problem is the way he treats Keith. I wouldn't mind him trashing on Keith except that he doesn't do it to Chemda. Chemda may not be as aggressive as Keith with but when she teased or mocked Robert he ignored it without any response and treats Chemda as if she is an innocent angel.

It was a great show!

Atheism and spirituality aren't mutually exclusive.

Anyway, I'm somewhere between Agnosticism and Skepticism, but I could entertain the idea of what the tarot man is claiming, but I don't see any reason to.

I didn't listen to most this show except what I managed to catch live, which was mostly the aftershow, but I can say that I didn't hear anything particularly impressive or even remotely convincing. Which is a shame. I guess I respect the fact that he's not really treating himself as a side/freak show or performing acts intended "to prove and to mystify", or whatever, and treating it more personally and casually, but because of that, whether it's because he respects the art or himself too much to do that, or because he simply couldn't back it up anyway, I'll never be sure.

I liked his laugh though. Seems like a pleasant guy. Wouldn't mind him more than once a year. Not too much more, though.


Also, to the guy I quoted, I still can't decide if you intentionally used the word "odiously", of if you meant "obviously". Either way there's a mistake there, and I don't know why, but it's bugging me.

Ugh, what a disgusting human being, and how disgusting that Chemda even entertained the idea that what he does is not scam people; "some people might not believe, and you know, we're a bunch of skeptics, all of us, but there's something about it where somebody cares enough to even read you... ". Yeah, it's "care" rather than the "donations" that he receives. It's sickening how people like him prey on the gullible and weak and even worse how normal people allow it. And it's funny that this "witch" or whatever gets a free pass when in the same show you talk about how terrible it is that some baby was starved to death by a delusional mother. If starving a baby to death is so terrible why encourage similar-minded delusion by having this scumbag on the air? Have a look at http://whatstheharm.net/psychics.html

Why do you assume he's scamming people? He could just be delusional and fantasy prone.
