An open letter to my fellow atheists, secularists, rationalists and sceptics

Because you are supporting James Randi and his army of professional wreckers you are keeping all the priests, mullahs, rabbis and "holy" men in power. The whole grisly religious shooting-match collapses immediately people find out there is a rational scientific explanation to account for all the ghost stories down through the centuries.

All those making huge amounts of money out of the great religious hoax on the human race know very well they are done for when the proof of survival after death eventually hits the masses. The priests will be laughed off the park as they say in football circles. This is because they know what we know, there is no place for a faith or a belief system when we have the scientific proof.

Why do you think the Spiritualists are fighting so hard against this scientific backup for mediumship? The answer is very simple, because Spiritualism is an officially recognised one-god religion! They meet in places called churches, take part in services, obey and grovel before ministers of religion.
