Florida Couple Arrest for Selling Tickets to Heaven

[Mycroft]

Stevie from the planet made entirely of drugs. I don't think we're going to need Basil the Great Mouse Detective to solve this one, folks.

Only in America. Just saying. Only in America.

Could a prosecutor claim any of the following.....
- There's no Heaven
- The perp didn't really talk to Jesus

Jesus said a lot of things about personal gain. Has he changed his mind? Prove he changed his mind and there is no crime.

It should be in the joke section.

Prove he ever existed first, and then that he's either the son of god or god himself.

Much that happens here in 'Murica should be in the joke section.

The accused needn't prove innocence.
The prosecutor must prove guilt.
Is the perp all that different from the preacher cadging contributions?

AFAICT, it was fraud because they said the tickets they were selling were made of solid gold but they weren't.

They were claiming the tickets were solid gold. That would be fraud. Other than that how would you get your money back if you found out they didn't work?

Hasn't the Roman Catholic Church been doing this for centuries?
As I recall sale of indulgences one of the things that originally set Martin Luther off on his anti-corruption crusade.

Q: Has the salvation status of the baby alligator been determined?

I agree with other posters, here. Where is the crime?

How is that different from reccomending a certain course of action to someone based solely on her astrological sign?

I am sure there is a difference but I am not going to think about it.
