Supernatural Evangelism

[MrBooglemaumau]

As if Sai Baba [thankfully deceased],and Harold Camping [yet to be raptured] weren't enough,I have now been informed of the establishing of the "Bethel School of Supernatural Evangelism" in Queensland ,Australia.Here you can learn through the teaching by Ministers how to heal Cancer,perform miracles,etc,via a 6 months course...all with the help of god,and ,here I'm really guessing..a substantial amount of money !I was under the impression that just standing silently on a stage,staring at people was enough to cure cancer..any comments ????

Doesn't Australia have any laws about practicing medicine without a state approved license? I'm just asking because I am curious if intentional medical fraud is illegal there, it seems to be in most countries.

Then again, it may not be illegal to teach how to run the scam.

Braco the Gazer would agree with you:

Braco (pronounced Braht-zoh) is a “gazer.” He is a spiritual healer with a difference: there is no consultation, no cold reading, no contact and no paraphernalia; his performance involves standing on a podium and simply gazing at his audience. Moreover, he doesn’t claim to be a healer. (But his advertising does.)

Darnit! why didnt *I* think of that one. Standing at a podium gazing at people even I can do.
But now it's lost its edge

Just throw in a bit of random pointing, you'll be good.

Supernatural Evangelism - Isn't that redundant?
