Personally, I found this episode to be one of the more interesting, especially the handling of "occult" issues. The CSI series tends to treat all forms of "epiphany" with respect. They also tend to give some credit to the human mind in all of its complexity.
I find all of this talk about the show having an "anti-Christian" message to be complete rubbish. The certainty that such comments are displaying are laughable. I am certain that there are Jews, Muslims, and even Atheists, who could take this position. Our society doesn't need any more elitism.
That's why this episode in particular is so interesting. The story asks you to accept that the murdered psychic is having a real experience. This facilitates the story. Just like the Superman movies ask you to believe that a person can fly. I see no difference here. This is entertainment. But it is "thinking entertainment". It asks questions of the viewer, and gives them something to think about.
There's nothing at all wrong with that. Some people need to just calm down.
