Ouija Board

LOL...I never said I was a "true Christian", as I sin every day and don't confess as I should, so YOU need to go back and re-read some posts, boy, 'cause I NEVER said that I live an exemplary Christian life....quite the contrary. As far as getting "bent out of shape", you are no more bothersome to me than a pimple on my ass. If I got "pissy "hard time" you're gonna give is to your boyfriend....be sure to offer him a "reach-around"

Oh, so you are not a "True Christian"? In all of your posts in which you employ the TC defense (i.e. your examples, Telerion, of xians doing the same things that I accuse muslims of doing do not count because True Christians don't do these things), you implicitly or explicitly define it as some one who has accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. Let me ask you the following:

Have you accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior? You really should consider it because he can protect you from those scary demons.

Let's review. You "speculate" about ouija boards allowing Satan into your soul, and as a result you have decided to never touch/play with one. Some people "speculate" that stepping on cracks in the pavement causes bad luck, and they choose to make a conscious effort not to do so. I really don't see why we should regard the former "speculation" with any more respect than the latter.

I really can't figure out why you keep boasting that your position is somehow more open-minded. You ridicule the fear of black cats as "crap," but then give us stern warning to beware the devil lest he enter your soul through a block of wood. This is neither open-minded nor intelligent. Taking cautions either against malicious invisible demons or black cats is equally unreasonable. In fact, if one is more reasonable than the other, it is avoiding cats since one may be allergic or the cat might scratch you. At the very least the cat is real

Other than that all I can say is that you are quite a big talker for a old fart on a skiff. How about turning down the mouth and turning up the brain? Maybe then you'd think to check out some of my old posts before firing off this whopper of a geographic insult!

Are you originally from VA? If so, the south is definitely not rising again

I'm from the Northwest, Gilligan. I've written as much quite a few times on this board. Your shipmates let you handle firearms do they?

Lordy...Lordy boys, ya'll gettin mean. Now let's grasp the corners of the ouija board and concentrate on the letters: P E A C E L O V E C I V I L I T Y

If that don't work, I'm gonna hafta make you sit in the corner and write 1000 sentences, "I will not call telerion/chancre dirty, foul, and indecent names, nor impugn the honor of his relatives and friends."

Maybe Ouiji Boards are cursed after all...

OK, Telerion, I'm, going to teach you a civics lesson that you probably missed in high school due to too much MTV...I'm going to show you how a "man" reacts to your ravings. I know that I have gotten under your skin because you changed your avatar and title, and that tells me all I need to know that I got your attention which is all I wanted to do in the first place. Now I'm going to apologize for insulting you with childish suggestions and names. Go in peace to believe what you want to believe or not believe about God, Satan, and ouija boards; I'll do the same...peace...over and out....

Think nothing of it, Chancre. It's all a good laugh, and see how well it compliments your own red, white, and blue?

The flag idea came solely from your hilarious "speculation" about my culture. The metrosexual elitist comes from your latest post in the "Minimum Wage" thread over in Debates.

These outrageous posts of yours have made an otherwise tedious day of research pretty fun. Thanks for that.

As for your apology, I'm really not sure what to make of it. It doesn't seem too sincere, but okay, I forgive you.

Oh . . . Jesus says he forgives you too.

Ok, goodnight. Enough fun for one day. I'll have this neat avatar to remind me of it.

When I apologise, I'm sincere about it. That's the kind of man I am. Just as I feel that a man's word by mouth and handshake is worth more to me than a 10,000 word contract with signature...if only the rest of society felt that way....Semper Paratus...

Thanks boys, you warm my heart.

I can only surmise, in re-reading this thread, that no-one bothered to look at the link I provided:

Ouija boards are most definitely NOT 'gateways for Satan and his demonic minions'. They are a party favour, along the lines of Jenga. Get a grip, people.

i dont know about that
wee gee boards are totally evil and are the devils serving trays lol

However, the ouija board's operation is a simple application of ideomotor principles--subconscious motor control. I've performed a simple experiment with a pendulum dozens of times to illustrate these principles. I can hold a pendulum in my fingers, rest my elbow on a table, and direct the movements of the pendulum with my thoughts--no visible or conscious arm movements.

It is science folks, not witchcraft.

Apologies, Wule...seems I did miss that. My eyes must have teared up from laughing so hard at this:

Classic!

I suspect that ouija board operations are entrusted to the minor demons.

On a plane even lower than those who look after the Houston Astros.

Aside from The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis, every word uttered about demons by folks who thinks of themselves as xtians reveals one of a small number of maladies: 1) fear that their omnipotent, omniscient G-d lacks the knowledge and power to protect them from evil, 2) an unhealthy obsession with the pleasures of sin (pornography might have died off long ago if xtians had spent less time making it appealing to their teenage sons by forbidding it so loudly and vocally and frequently), and 3) incompetent mythologizing by folks that lack a basic understanding of the structure of myth (which explains wht they grossly misunderstand ther own myths).
