But also people who think god tells them/show them the future that just so happens to coincide with what they already believe probably need some kind of help.

I'm a believer, but it's hard to have a conversation with someone who thinks they have visions. 

'Hey, Bill, you said the end of the world was today at noon. It's 1:30 p.m. Maybe it's time to get help?'
'See! Prayer worked! I saved the world!'

And the harder things get, the more people are willing to believe, because they need to believe something bigger than their weight is going to make things right. Which, as a Christian, is troubling. I think it makes it too easy for people to abuse the religion for their own ends.
