Uh, has anybody ever thought of the possibility that,
any REAL sorcerer wouldn't let themselves be executed?

Why wouldn't The Sorcerer just change his captors into heads of
cauliflower and walk out of custody?

By the same token, to anyone considering hanging or burning a "witch"...

If she's REALLY A WITCH,
she won't let you do that to her!



Just sayin'...
:evilgrin:

1. Wasn't that how the old "trial by water" worked?

You threw a (usually bound and weighted) woman into a deep body of water. If she escaped, she was a witch and therefore had to die. If she drowned, she wasn't a witch and...erm...oh well.

3. Perhaps it would work better if...

We substituted "wealthy" for "sorcerer"?

Let the trials begin!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2. I'd want them to kill me.... If I had Gilbert Godfrey on my shoulder.

7. Let's put on our Wizard caps and robes ...

fire-up our ultra-photo-cosmic scepters and come to his aid.

His spell of protection must have failed due to negative cosmic fluctuations. Sorcery has its flaws.

Actually, the Middle Ages seem to be alive and well.

8. New Millenium meets Middle Ages...

I'm working on a new alchemist's formula for turning
Spam into gold.

11. Wizards are not sorcerers. Wizard = Viz Ir = Seer Of Light.

9. Sharia is mercy. Should he repent, he should be pardoned.

But only if he was truly drawing or casting lots/sortes to divine the future. Some will make false accusations of sorcery simply for knowing that there will be a tomorrow. Does no one in all of Saudi Arabia ever plan ahead?

12. You can't have alcohol there, so he may as well follow through with it

13. That was a wonderful film!

How dare they sentence it to death?!

14. Unfortunately, NOT April Fool.

15. Jesus let himself be executed

so didn't Obi Wan Kenobi, thus I predict he will become more powerful than even they can imagine.

[Wizard777]

16. If he truly is a creature of malevolent powers. They are far more powerful dead than alive.

In fact most exorcism involve drawing the evil spirit out of the person and trapping it in an animal. Then killing the animal. I don't know why the vatican doesn't use the same exorcism technique Christ did. The way they conduct exorcisms is very dangerous.

If this person is truly possessed of an unclean spirit or daeva. If they kill him they will unleash the unclean spirit upon the kingdom. If they do a proper exorcism. Cast the unclean spirit out of the person and into a pig. Then drown or otherwise suffocate the pig and bury it in a place where it will not be uncovered or disturbed. The unclean spirit will rot away with the pigs flesh and be returned to hell. But remember to be careful not to spill the pigs blood.

17. This Is Why

government and religion need to be separate. If the far right had their way we would have wholesale executions of lots of people in this country, all fulfilling their twisted view of the law.

18. He is a Lebanese national, not even Saudi

Superstitious shit. Maybe " He looked like a witch"

19. Why does America back a feudalistic, dark age, absolute monarchy?

Its sickening. I can't believe in this modern age that there's societies like that and that corporate dominated government backs these people. They have no principles. They'll just do anything they can to get oil deals for their corporate fiends that funded their campaign. Someone should translate all of the enlightenment era literature into Arabic and smuggle it into the country.
