So Ouija boards are like Voldemortjimahaff said:Ouija boards have the power you give the. By believing in them you give them power, and influence over your life. Whatever you decide to believe there are better ways to have fun. My advice, just don't go there its not worth it.
Not disagreeing with your meaning itself, but Hasbro simply prettied up an older fortune-telling device and sold it as a toy. I'm surprised they never printed tarot cards for the fun of it. Not that any given object can actually embody evil, just Hasbro sometimes has funny definitions of taste.tavelkyosoba said:Yes. Hasbro, maker of the Star Wars action figures, definitely mass produces an instrument of the occult that can contact spirits cursed to roam the earth.
Definitely.
then again, the Ouija board I used was homemade, maybe that invited some kind of dark energy?mandaforever said:I never believed they were real until I used one, then weird stuff started happening to me and my roommate. I didn't believe in the supernatural for a while, but so many weird things happened (felt something laying on top of me at night, seeing flashes of blue light, hearing creepy songs come through my speakers when the computer was on sleep mode and pandora was off) that I am now almost inclined to believe it's all real
But that's just me, I still like to believe there's no such thing as ghosts, but if that stuff was all in my head, I must have some kind of superpower, cause I saw and heard stuff all the time after using that ouija.
It would seem that the majority of people here are adherents of the basic fundamentals of logic and reason, rather than superstition and fairy stories. If this is true, I think I'm going to like it here.William Ossiss said:go burn one then tell me your house isn't haunted by creepy supernatural things. if you use one properly, then yes. it is definitely dangerous. but i can see that the majority of people here don't believe in hauntings or spirits of any sort.
Hm, 99.95 seems a little steep. Care to barter for my fine selection of magic beans?scumofsociety said:About as dangerous as this absolutely genuine magic lamp I have here for sale at 99.95, guaranteed to grant all your wishes...
I actually thin k what you said was a little snobby. I don't think humans have all the answers, nor do we have the physical or mental capacities to do so. There is a surprising amount of science and pseudo-science that we have not even touched on, nor can we ever touch on. Saying we can only believe what we see is a very typical thing for a person to say when they can't think outside the box, which is what a lot of science is all about.Moromillas said:Well done. I could have not said it better.Sabiancym said:They're dangerous in that they make completely misguided and ignorant people believe in things that aren't really there. The very fact that some people actually answered yes shows the danger to intelligence that these things are a part of.
The supernatural, religion, crazy metaphysics, horoscopes, etc. They're all contributing to the dumbification (it will be a word) of humanity. Anyone who accepts something as the truth without there being any physical evidence at all is not in any way shape or form using intelligence. The only "evidence" out there supporting stuff like this is purely anecdotal and coincidental. No causation has ever been shown.
So physically dangerous? No. Danger to intelligence and therefore society as a whole, I guess.
