Do Ouija board real?

[Paar]

I have to say, the yahoo-answers-esqe feel of this entire thread is making me pound my head into a wall.

I will not take a stance against your belief in the existence of talking spirits per say, but I will point out that attempts to apply scientific experimentation to it, or try to reproduce anyone's claims to have done so, continually relegate the supernatural to the impossible, or at least misunderstood and confused with other real world artifacts.

What they said.

:-/ eeeewwwwwww... I'm afraid of all that satanic stuff... I wouldn't get anywhere near one, besides ^_^ if your a Christian, God tells us to stay away from that stuff anyway

You should try it, you might like it
Invite some spirits and see what happens.

I hate to say it but ouija boards merely work off people subconcious. If one or two people are 'into' ouija boards the thing will move, because they are moving it without jnowing. Theres no more 'magic' in your ouija board than there is in a toaster. Its not something to be afraid (dont be silly - this game is mass produced ina factory by.*hasbro*. Probably in the same factory as monopoly) of, unless youre really afraid of cheaply made mass produced goods (many of us are. At least back in.the day theywere still made by hand there was at least a CHANCE there was a necromancer sprinjling g.prave dust and casting speak with dead on each board a la d&d. Now youd be lucky if they have a robot called Inecro doing the casting. In short; there are no evil spirits in your ouija board. Unless its 300 years old and you can actually hear whispers coming from the box when u take it outta the closet

I think you meant to put in the subject line,"Do Ouija Boards really work?" haha.

The worst night of my life was the night I decided to make one of these. There is no sarcasm or humor in this post, it was the absolute most horrifying experience of my life. You can make fun of me, on here or in real life to your buddies, that's fine. I'm just saying this from personal experience, I will never be near another one of those things ever again.

Okay, thanks for the advice sorry about your experience how old were you.

No worries, it was my own stupidity. I was 17.

You folks are all aware that these boards DO NOT work if you play them blindfolded right?

Corrected. :P

NOTE: If anyone believes that these "toys" are scary and have magical powers, then that's fine. It's your own belief.

OMFG. I have broad spiritual beliefs that include aspects of Christianity and other places - calling an Ouija board satanic is OFFENSIVE. Back off or I'll tell you my thoughts (without consideration of your beliefs and positions) about the various religions, morality, ethics and society in general.

I'm sorry your post isn't more um carefully written. I agree with much of what you said. My only quibble would be - since we know basically nothing about the universe (the more we learn, the more we realize we don't know) it is shortsighted to make conclusions. We don't yet know exactly what happens when we focus our attention and intention on something - keep an open mind. That's how we found pretty much everything we now know.

Or our laziness and inattention in the case of penicillin and vulcanized rubber. Accidents and unintended effects have probably discovered just as much as effort and skill.

And this is why we don't discuss religion here. Someone says something uninformed, ignorant, or just downright stupid and someone else gets butthurt. Mods, close this before it gets ridiculous.

How could a thread with posts about opposing opinions on what god wants us to do, or don't wants us to do, get offensive?
... Should probably get closed right about, meow.

I'm hoping that's a joke or sarcasm - how can it not be offensive if one religious perspective, say Mithraism for example, says some practice of another religious perspective, say the practice of Mass by Catholics, is satanic? Just an arbitrary example intentionally not calling on any of the actual examples in this thread.

I do agree though - better to not ever bring up religion or politics in a game forum.

I think its fake, people just move it just to scare others. I tried it, it was lame..

Oh? The tone of the previous post I quoted would suggest otherwise.
