I don’t really believe in the supernatural or afterlife (though I’m not spiteful towards those who do believe) but my girlfriend is a Brazilian spiritist so she showed me a movie about Chico Xavier and I’m curious, why is this medium in particular so respected? Is there more evidence for him being legit than the rest? Virtually every other medium is exposed tenfold and made fun of, what is so special about Xavier that makes him so universally beloved in Brazil?

spirit writing, people felt comforted by those.

But study spiritism and discover how fucking utterly racist is it. As a channer you are bound to enjoy it. It proposes that skin color dictates degrees of evolution, it borrow heavily from the same concepts of Theosophy

BS really? Isn't brazil full of nigs? Are you telling me this religion is only for white, because if it is, I'm converting right now.

This religion has many similarities with theosophy and Rosicrucianism, actually it's probably based on those. I don't think it's racist, I've never seen anything racist about it.
 I actually believed in this crap when I was young because my family has strong inclinations towards this. But after using some critical thinking I realized there was never any proof, also noticed many lies, wrong predictions ( they love to make predictions )...
 Basically this is Christianity with a twist. The twist being reincarnation. Also, they believe in spiritual evolution, every life you live you progress spiritually, becoming a better person in a linear fashion ( never regressing )
After my research I still believe in reincarnation but I don't believe our progress is maintained throughout lives. I'm more inclined towards the Buddhist/Vedic perspective that our spiritual path isn't linear at all.
