Also, how can you pretend to practice witchcraft?

By going through the motions without actually having witchly powers?

Interesting to see if he can beat the rap by demonstrating such powers to the court ... ;-)

I think the "witchcraft" thing is just an interesting hook to the story. The relevant charge is fraud. He claimed he could do something fantastic, and charged money to apparently gullible people to do it when it's obvious to anyone that the "something" in question is impossible. If true, that's fraud. And he isn't the only fraudster.

Has it been PROVEN he can't "do it" (whatever "it" is)? I thought witches were mentioned in the Bible, and so there must be some real ones somewhere ...

My husband has told me often that I'm a real witch. And I don't even have to practice.

Jesus does hip replacements too!

Have a look, I'm sure even the good Doctor and our other apologists will appreciate the insanity here..

Let's see...
drug user
sex offender
no college education
cheated on wife with co-worker

Sounds like a cult leader.

Really now... I have known people of the cloth fit that mold you just trotted out, with the exception of college education.

Take what I said in the context of the video.

If you are a religious leader with a following and you're a drug user, sex offender, lack a college education, and you cheated on your wife, then you're probably a cult leader. Do you think that guy would ever be allowed to lead a group of orthodox Muslims, Buddhists, Christians, Jews etc.? Most orthodox religious people would not follow a self-proclaimed leader with no credentials and a history of irreligious behavior.

ETA: I'm certainly not saying that all drug users, sex offenders, etc. are cult leaders... if that's what you were thinking.
