Saudi Arabia to execute TV psychic

[SpuriusMaximus]

You can tell who's real by the fact that the fraudulent ones weigh more than a duck

Criminal Code of Canada:

365. Every one who fraudulently

(a) pretends to exercise or to use any kind of witchcraft, sorcery, enchantment or conjuration,

(b) undertakes, for a consideration, to tell fortunes, or

(c) pretends from his skill in or knowledge of an occult or crafty science to discover where or in what manner anything that is supposed to have been stolen or lost may be found,

is guilty of an offence punishable on summary conviction.

I have asked very senior level Officers of the RCMP as to why no charges are laid against Sylvia Browne and her type when they visit Canada and charge money thereby violating Sec.365 (b)&(c).
I think the most honest answer was that they were afraid that the hundreds of thousands - if not millions - of her fans would storm the detachment and lynch the arresting officers.

Anybody pitching in to get Sylvia Browne a ticket for an all-expenses-paid visit to Saudi Arabia?

 

[MaryCBW]

Excessive? It's a damn good start! Let's send Sylvia Browne and Uri Geller there while the scimitar is still sharp.

Chip Coffee needs a ticket too.

Actually, even if you get the prophecy right, if you aren't playing for the home team, you're in trouble (Deuteronomy 13:1 - 3):

If a prophet arises among you or a dreamer of dreams, and gives you a sign or a wonder, and the sign or wonder which he tells you comes to pass, and if he says, "Let us go after other gods" which you have not known, "and let us serve them," you shall not listen to the words of that prophet or dreamer of dreams, for the LORD your God is testing you to know whether you love the LORD your God with all your heart and all your soul.

So, if you get it wrong, you're a false prophet and you get stoned. On the other hand, if you get it right, peope shouldn't believe you, because God is only testing them. That makes you witch, diviner, etc. . . . and you get stoned. It seems everybody must get stoned.

Of course, modern false prophets, like Hal Lindsey, hedge their bets with such prhrases as, "if this interpretation is true, and it seems to be . . ." Perhaps we could ship him to Saudi Arabia along with Uri Geller and company.

" everybody must get stoned."

Why?

Because Bob Dylan said that answer was blowing in the wind.

Makes me want to build a fence around the whole place and put a 'do not open till 2060' sign on it.

What do you expect from a country that won't let women drive cars? They truly are living in the dark ages. And because of this and other stupid things like this I am rethinking the whole I am a muslim thing.

Well......don't decide to try a snake handling church. God may be busy and not be available to save you from your own stupidity. Playing with poisonous snakes has to be one of the dumbest ideas......ever.

lol. yeah I am thinking more a long the lines of religion being bs...

 

[TimCallahan]

So, now that it's January 2010, have the Saudi's executed the guy yet?

As far as snake handling goes, perhaps we could get "Islamist" Muslims to do it.

 

[Ravynn123]

hmm that is certainly worth a try.
