Fortune telling has been around pretty much as long as mankind has been able to talk. As a group humans are inquisitive about their surroundings and how they interact within them. The original fortune tellers were most likely asked to for tell the movement of game animals, the weather patterns of an area and the likelihood of a good harvest. Eventually the gender of children in the womb was speculated on, and of coarse questions of the heart were asked.
I don't so much think that fortune telling was invented so much as it evolved out of our own insecurities, speculations and fascination with the unknown.

Why do religious people condemn fortune tellers?
People, whether or not they are religious, may condemn fortune tellers if they believe that fortune tellers are taking advantage of gullible people.Religious people have two further concerns. If people can really tell fortunes without any help from the clergy, then the church loses control of our spirituality. Furthermore, if fortune tellers can not really tell fortunes they might still turn people away from the church.These are good reasons for the faithful to be warned to avoid fortune tellers, and to condemn fortune tellers.
