(118,282 posts)to think that Sylvia Browne was practicing a form of religion, or that people interested in various religions would perhaps be interested in Sylvia Browne
I myself had never heard of Browne, and so far as I can tell from a quick websearch, Browne wasn't following any standard religion -- but then I'm not much inclined to pay any attention to people who make their livings through "psychic ability," being strongly prejudiced against such claims as probable nonsense. And most religions, that I've ever thought about seriously, don't actually seem much interested in anyone's alleged "psychic ability." Certainly there is a very long Christian tradition (which I expect follows an even older Jewish tradition) that frowns heavily on activities such as consulting soothsayers or astrologers
We all die, of course. Browne never having crossed my field of vision, and being now dead, I don't feel competent to express more opinions about her particular case
