I’ve never come across a case where an atheist got taken by a psychic. I’ve never had a case like that. I’m not saying it can’t happen, but I haven’t seen it.

More quotes by Bob Nygaard

I would like to stress how ruthless these self-proclaimed psychics are. They have absolutely no regard for their fellow human beings.

It's not a crime to be gullible. But it is a crime to steal from a gullible person.

No other victims are more maligned than victims of psychic fraud. The embarrassment of being swindled plays right into the hands of phony psychics.

These cases are all psychological manipulation under the guise of assistance. They sell false hope. That's a very powerful product when you’re a person that's desperate.

No one has ever proved that they have psychic abilities since the beginning of time. And James Randi, from the James Randi Foundation, put up a $1 million challenge to any psychic who could prove their abilities. No one has ever collected.
