Fed Judge Strikes Down LA Ban on…Fortunetelling, Palm Reading & Astrology
A federal judge has struck down a central Louisiana ordinance banning fortunetelling, palm reading, astrology and similar activities in the city of Alexandria.
U.S. District Judge Dee Drell‘s ruling Wednesday concurs with a magistrate’s conclusion that the ordinance is unconstitutional.
Rachel Adams is a fortune-teller who says she accepts donations but doesn’t charge for her services. She sued the city after a police officer issued her a court summons in 2011 for violating the ordinance. A violation can result in daily penalties of up to $500....
I believe in the freedom of religion and speech, though fortune telling is a con artist's game, and even worse,
Deuteronomy 4 19 "And beware, lest you lift up your eyes to heaven and see the sun and the moon and the stars, all the host of heaven, and be drawn away and worship them and serve them, those which the LORD your God has allotted to all the peoples under the whole heaven. Deuteronomy 18 10 "There shall not be found among you anyone who makes his son or his daughter pass through the fire, one who uses divination, one who practices witchcraft, or one who interprets omens, or a sorcerer, 11 or one who casts a spell, or a medium, or a spiritist, or one who calls up the dead. 12 "For whoever does these things is detestable to the LORD; and because of these detestable things the LORD your God will drive them out before you.---NASB
Louisiana must be suffering from an influx of Popular Folk Catholics from Latin America. There are also cults in the Caribbean that practice a lot of this nonsense also.
This nonsense has to be at least rediculed out of their state -- just don't send any more like thinkers to Nebraska.
