Question about ouija boards after strange experience

[Bob Kelso]

Does Mousetrap give you the willies too?  How about Candyland? How many demons can dance on the head of the Trouble Bubble?

Had a bad experience with Clue one time.

The game "Life" totally fucked me up. 4 kids and ended up in the Poor Farm.

My response to serious questions about ouija boards is to laugh my bollocks off.

Neo and C_L, you're kidding right? Card/particle board, paint and plastic put in the right combination is somehow disturbing to each of you?

What other superstitions do you give credence to?

The means by which people attempt to invoke demonic entities and evil spirits does not matter. Even if this is a purely psychological phenomena, why draw out the darkest parts of the self? Or to put it another way, supposing one is an open minded skeptic, allowing for the possibility that some shred of evidence for the supernatural could be attained by seances and such, why go that route if there is even the slightest chance that it just might actually work and allow such evil to manifest in your life.

Draw out the darkest parts of the self my arse. It's probably as likely to draw the "darkest parts of the self" out of a person as playing Call of Duty Black Ops Zombie Mode. Probably less. At least that has graphics and it actually involves shooty shooty stabby stabby bitey bitey.

Are we really being lectured on the clear and present demonic danger of board games? Isn't such a notion as this supposed to be an unrepresentative stereotype of christianity, leveraged by godless malcontents to discredit the faithful as simpletons........?

Rational christians don't honestly believe that they can cast a magic spell (intentionally or otherwise) with painted pieces of card stock and a cheap plastic lens...do they?

Unfortunately, some people really believe in that woo.

Just offering our resident christians an exit from this bit of pious fraud they've foisted upon themselves. One wonders why they would "draw out the darkest parts of the self" in -that- way if they truly believed in and opposed doing it™ with a board game.

Because they aren't just board games. They are props surrounding the deliberate cultivation of altered states of consciousness with the intention of manifesting a supernatural result through evil spirits. Scoff if you want, but personally, I think messing with any kind of occult practice is dangerous - especially for non-believers.
