Ace-baby, you crack me up! 😉
Seriously, I really needed a chuckle and here you are johnny on the spot. Thanks man.
"Demons impersonating dead people..."
Where do you guys come up with this stuff!
I REALLY want to meet the demon in charge of impersonating George Burns.
Originally posted by twhitehead But you did imply that [b]you believed that your friend was actually talking to dead people. Many Christians would hold that it is not possible to talk to dead people by this method.[/b]
it is real, no matter what a Christian believes, people use ouija boards all the time and it is real.
Originally posted by EcstremeVenom kills himself or herself, does he/she go to hell? my friend talked to a girl he knew on a Ouija board who killed herself, and she told him that she was in hell.
It's perfectly simple:
1. God exists and so does heaven.
2. Good people want to maximise their chances of getting to heaven.
3. Dieing young and innocent is the best way to do this.
4. Committing suicide is a guaranteed way of dieing when you like.
Therefore, committing suicide before you are old and sinful is a guaranteed way to get to heaven.
Unfortunately the religious powers realised this, and (not wanting to have the financially contributing flock all dead) made up a load of nonsense about suicide being a sin.

Originally posted by EcstremeVenom no but if you do not believe me, go get one for yourself.
No need, the experiments have already been done, and found wanting.
"Skeptic and magician James Randi, in his book An Encyclopedia of Claims, Frauds, and Hoaxes of the Occult and Supernatural, points out that when blindfolded, Ouija board operators are unable to produce intelligible messages. Magicians Penn & Teller performed a similar demonstration in an episode of their television show Bulls**t! in which the operators moved the planchette into what they thought was the positions of "yes" and "no" without knowing that the board was turned upside-down, which caused them to move the planchette into blank spaces on the board."

in order for it to work, you have to believe it works.
Originally posted by GregM Yes; that's the point. The people in the experiments where the boards were secretly flipped around believed it was working--and were wrong.
well of course the board will not work right if it is flipped around
Originally posted by EcstremeVenom maybe they did get confused
Or, here's a thought, maybe you're confused!
I mean, come on! Even the people that use Ouija Boards don't actually believe they work. It's just something for a late night party to freak out the girls.
