This is so much junk it is hard to know where to start. You must use your powers for the benifit of others or fear some negative consequences! Ok apart from being a laughable idea you can still prove abilities and use your power for good at the same time. Randi's challenge offers $1M dollars for proof of *any* paranormal ability. Why not prove it, get a million bucks and give it to charity? I'm sure your god(dess) would look favourably on that. Or are you privy to to some information on how the gods work that I don't have access to?
You're first statement is wrong. It's obvious that you have never investigated how Randi's challenge works. The Psychic (or other psudo-scientist) designs the test. All they have to do is phone Randi each time they have a vision tell him what it was, get it right five times (or some agreed upon percentage) and they got $1M!
I think you'll find that you've made the massive logical fallacy here. A scientist is really anyone who wants to prove the nature of something that affects the real world. Are you telling us that psychics don't care about whether their abilities exist or not when they are constantly harping on about their powers?! It beggers belief that these people could set up businesses yet not be interested in proving their abalities.
It seems to me you are coming from the point of view that some 40 year old chemist in a lab coat suddenly decides to do a passing experiment on psychics and then gets back to their career. The greatest scientists in history were all unconventional.

Why would you not do that?!
