Reminds me of this email letter sent out many years ago:

That's right! By adopting a habit of skeptical thinking, you
will save hundreds, perhaps thousands of dollars. Spending
money on infomercial products, psychic hot-lines, mail order
scams, religious scams (and con-artist theologians), any one of
the myriad of paranormal type magazines, faith healers, quack
therapists and psychologists, quarts crystals, trips to Sedona,
harvest festivals, make money fast scams, lose weight fast
scams, and much, much more, will be a THING OF THE PAST! Now you
can afford that vacation of your dreams, or a nice down payment
on a house, or that college fund for your child.

Plus! You will have more free time on your hands to enjoy
life. Now, you'll be able to spend more quality time with your
family, help, encourage, and enrich your child's capacity to
learn, learn more about science and nature and how the world
REALLY works, and thinking and making decisions for yourself!

Just read some of the testimonials from people JUST LIKE YOU who
have come around to the skeptical way of thinking:

I used to spend hundreds of dollars on 900 calls to my
"personal" psychic. But now that I've adopted the technique
of skeptical thinking, I actually did some research into the
psychic phenomena. I am now convinced that "psychics" are
nothing more than con-artists who are very skilled at
speaking in generalities that apply to most everyone. Now,
I'm financially secure, and happy! I would like to thank
somebody for changing my life, but it was ME that did it!
Sammy Snodgrass, Los Angeles, CA

I'm almost ashamed to admit it, but I was convinced that I
was abducted by aliens from another world. I can say now,
though, that I have seen the light by becoming a more
skeptical thinker. I realize that my quack therapist planted
suggestive thoughts in my head while I was under hypnosis. I
actually believed that the aliens had removed eggs from my
ovaries for genetic experiments. When I think of all the
money I gave that creep, it makes me sick! Not to mention
the money I spent on my subscription to UFO magazine. I love
my life now, and have reestablished a loving relationship
with my family.
Samantha Williams, Dayton, OH

I used to spend thousands on holy crystals, new age literature
and magazines, and trips to Sedona, AZ. What was I
thinking?! Well, I don't have faith in that crap anymore,
but I still go to Sedona once in a while. And, oddly enough,
it is still a spiritual experience for me. However, instead
of having an out of body experience (which I now know was a
fantasy or a dream that my brain produced while I was in a
meditative state), I sit in wonder and awe that a place so
beautiful could be created by the natural and random process
of erosion. Incredible!
Jeffery Wright, Sausalito, CA

I was bamboozled by that no good Jimmy Swaggart. I want to
cry when I think of all that money I sent to him. Just so he
could go out and spend it on hookers and dirty magazines. I
am an old lady of 78 years and I need that money! I thought
I was giving it to a good cause. Now, I am skeptical of ALL
the TV evangelists. Now I have a more open and skeptical
mind. I wonder if most of them just are in for the money.
Not all of them are just in for the money though. Some (if
not most) of them are using the pulpit to push their
political views. I still believe in God mind you, but I doubt
that there are Dole/Kemp stickers on the pearly gates!
Gracey Witherspoon, Muskogee, OK

And it goes on and on and on. Skeptical thinking is
enriching peoples lives, and it's bound to enrich and better
your life too! Act now! Stop being fooled, conned,
confused, close-minded, bamboozled, swindled, mislead,
ignorant, and gullible. Start your journey to skeptical,
critical, and scientific methods of thinking and you will be
learning how the world and the universe really work, saving
hundreds of dollars, thinking and understanding for yourself,
and making the world a better place to live for all of us!

Footnote: If you were suspicious that the testimonials above
were fictitious, you were right. Congratulations! You are on
your way to thinking more skeptically.
