Their reply completely ignores your point about psychics contradicting Christian beliefs, and it’s absolutely shocking that Faux News watchers even tolerate it, let alone enjoy it.

Psychics contradict some Christians beliefs, not all. Many believe in psychics. It's the more strict sects like Pentecostals or Southern Baptists that believe all psychics are evil. Oddly enough I agree with them, but for different reasons.

That's an understatement. It's clearly against the catechism of the Catholic church. https://www.catholic.com/qa/why-mediums-and-psychics-are-not-ok

That's Catholics, which some sects like the Pentecostals consider to be not Christians. And then you have people like this...

You can find anyone claiming anything, but the official doctrine of the world-wide largest and USA-wide second largest Christian denomination is a bit more likely to be relevant to the discussion than some random bizarre book.

The fact remains that they still believe psychics are real, they just disagree on whether they are all evil.
