Have you used a Ouiji Board?

[DoubleBarrel]

If you've used a Ouiji Board, I'd be interested in hearing your stories.

How many times did you use it? And what were your experiences with it?

 

[KontrollerX]

Dude...

Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, Voodoo, Hinduism, Satanism, Paganism, Occultism, Zoroastrianism, Wicca, Hara Krishnah, Scientology, Magicka practice ala that of Crowley and followers, Judaism, Odin worship, Greek gods worship, Conan the Barbarian's worship of Crom (even though very cool)...

ALL of it is bullsh!t.

Any supposed power you feel/sense from practice of any of these phony bronze age doctrines to recently made up doctrines is what we in modern rational and logical society refer to as an adrenaline rush, anxiety attack or hallucination.

Don't waste your time on ANY of this garbage.

The Ouiji board is a useless block of wood much like the religious/spiritualist/whatever-ist man or woman's head.

Now if it were a book like the Bible or the Koran at least there would be a good use for it such as using its pages to roll a joint with but I digress.

 

[DoubleBarrel]

I seem to remember asking those who had. If you haven't, why are you responding?

Do you not realize that you've just revealed your exact lack of knowledge to everyone here who has had direct personal experience, and would reveal a great many things -- assuming they had no problems dealing with sceptical critics who move by guesswork and opinion rather than upon definite knowledge?

Furthermore, are you not impulsive and rash to assume to know what my motive for asking is, despite the fact that I never mentioned it? After all, what am I to think of someone who attempts to impress his opinions on me without my invitation -- except that his arrogance reveals his ignorance concerning the facts?

Message board posting 101: When you put up a topic that means you invite a response from everyone who desires to respond. Whether you like the response or not is not the problem of the responder.

"Do you not realize that you've just revealed your exact lack of knowledge to everyone here who has had direct personal experience, and would reveal a great many things -- assuming they had no problems dealing with sceptical critics who move by guesswork and opinion rather than upon definite knowledge?"

Actually I think I used one with a buddy once as we were curious and thus concluded its a worthless block of wood as I already stated to you in my previous post.

And lets cut the bullsh!t here.

The only experience you and others have to share is that of working yourself up into a belief fueled frenzy to the point whatever you experienced is the same easily explained phenomenon of different people seeing different things by looking up at the clouds or the woman that sees the face of Jesus Christ on a tortilla chip.

Mere delusions, adrenaline and anxiety of expectation working together to fvck with your mind my friend, that and mesmerism no different than what happens at a Benny Hinn crusade but honestly why post this nonsense here of all places?

I mean I know this is the anything else section but your entire topic is better suited for a comedy forum or a paranormal kook fringe website than here where we deal in logic and facts.

Just saying.

Is there not a world of difference between "I think" and "I know"?

When did doubt ever inspire confidence?

Are you throwing a temper tantrum just because you still have issues with your parents for "forcing" religion on you?

What makes you think that what is unseen to the physical eyes is either illogical or unfactual? What's next? Are you going to start claiming electricity is a figment of my imagination just because you can't eat it?

"Are you throwing a temper tantrum just because you still have issues with your parents for "forcing" religion on you?"

Bro let it go.

You acted like a d!ck rather than politely disagreeing with me so I mirrored your own pretentious pseudo intellectual idiocy back at you.

I hope you learned a valueable lesson from this not to be a d!ck in the future when you disagree with someone and are butthurt over what they said to you but I'm almost positive any lesson anyone could provide will be lost on you.

You do believe in Ouiji boards and probably other ridiculous nonsense after all.

BTW, the sad fact is my parents just presented religion to me and I being an at the time young child with no worldly experience gobbled it up as though it were absolutely true. In short it was my choice but at the time I was once again a child.

There's my excuse for having once believed in ridiculous things.

Whats yours?

"What makes you think that what is unseen to the physical eyes is either illogical or unfactual? What's next? Are you going to start claiming electricity is a figment of my imagination just because you can't eat it?"

If the bullsh!t you believe in is so real I have some good news for you.

You are entitled to one million dollars.

Go look up James Randi and collect your check.

Otherwise shut the pie hole.

That's pretty disrespectful. Christianity is not BS, neither is Judaism.

Scientology I would agree with your analysis....

But quit openly assualting and insulting religions you don't belong to. Not cool.

Perhaps telling yourself that has helped your "survive", but is it really serving you?

Maybe some people don't feel they need to prove themselves to any old near-sighted sceptic who only asks for "proof" so he can refute it.

How is your preferred religions of Christianity and Judaism any less bullsh!t than Scientology?

Answer: Its not. Its all bullsh!t.

Christianity and Judaism literally have within its Biblical doctrine the teachings that reveal that donkeys can talk, people can fly and a man named Jesus lives up in the sky.

I fail to see how that is any less ridiculous than the Xenu tale told in Scientology.

In fact it looks equally idiotic to me.

Scientology is the new hated religion to go along with all the other retarded driven by boredom internet witch hunts.

And yeah its damn sure been responsible for murder and cruelty but it doesn't even begin to approach the amount of murder and death that has been wrought in the name of Christianity and Judaism and Islam.

So don't go telling me your religions of choice are any better or any more valid.

You have absolutely no proof that they are.

Just like DoubleBarrel has no proof of his Ouijji board adventures and if he does I'll be the first person to apologize profusely to him and offer to suck his e-c0ck when his smiling face is plastered all over the 24/7 news cycle for removing Randi's 1 million dollars from his bank account finally after all these years of people trying for it and failing to meet the scientific impartial observer private group standards put forth in his one million dollar paranormal challenge.

"Who said everyone runs their life on excuses?"

In one sentence he says this...

"Maybe some people have don't feel they need to prove themselves to any old near-sighted sceptic who only asks for "proof" so he can refute it."

In the next sentence he says that.

Hmmm, either my vision is failing me much like the "near-sighted skeptic's" or it appears that Double Barrel is someone who runs his life on excuses!

YOUR answer.

Christianity and Judaism literally have within its Biblical doctrine the teachings that reveal that donkeys can talk, people can fly and a man named Jesus lives up in the sky.

By "people" flying, you mean Jesus ascending into heaven. Jesus was a man. He was also God's representative on Earth- he was God.

Donkeys can talk? I've never heard that before. It's obviously not "doctrine," it's in the Bible if it's anywhere at all. Not everything in the Bible is literal, esp. in the Old Testament.

And incidentally, what is your belief system? If it's that we are here purely by chance, the Big Bang just happened one day for no reason, and life sprung out of the water on Earth one day from a lightning bolt, then evolved into all different species of plants and animals, including humans, how is that any less far-fetched? It seems more so. Seems like a giant scientific guessing game.

Look, I'm not going to get in a religious debate and I'm not calling you stupid, but I think I think your comments are pretty obnoxious. Stop trying to push your own beliefs onto everyone else.

 

[KontrollerX]

"Donkeys can talk?"

The story begins Numbers 22: 22.

Read up.

"I've never heard that before."

Thats because like most Christians you don't read the Bible.

You let the preacher man cherry pick the nice sounding verses, sing your religious songs, have your social gathering and then go home and do whatever the hell you want to not following any of the Bible rules that you are supposed to.

"It's obviously not "doctrine," it's in the Bible if it's anywhere at all. Not everything in the Bible is literal, esp. in the Old Testament."

Says you.

Thats your interpretation of how the Bible is to be read but thats just the thing everyone interprets it a different way which makes it impossible to be verifiable as any form of truth.

A person can make it to be whatever they want it to be which is not how logic, facts and rationality operate.

Something is either true or it isn't and there is no truth to be had in the Bible.

Just a bunch of outrageous stories, debauchery, cruelty and murder sanctioned by the blood god.

"Look, I'm not going to get in a religious debate and I'm not calling you stupid, but I think I think your comments are pretty obnoxious."

Pot meet kettle.

And you can stop lying.

You can't bullsh!t a bullsh!tter.

If you didn't want to get into a religious debate you wouldn't be posting in this topic confronting me as you are doing right now.

You are in this debate because you wanted to debate.

"Stop trying to push your own beliefs onto everyone else."

Stop trying to push your pro Christianity agenda on me and everyone else.

No one asked you to step in to this topic and start debating me about Christianity.

I didn't call you out.

You obnoxiously made yourself a part of this topic.

I didn't force your hand so put the blame where it belongs for you being in here.

On yourself.

 

[oakraiderz2]

Ouiji boards are bs. Micromovements from everyone cause the thing to move, nothing crazy.

 

[taiyuu_otoko]

Ouiji boards are awesome. They can be a source of unconscious expression, similar to pendulums. Perhaps connected to the spiritual world, perhaps not. It has been argued in Dr. Joseph Murphy's "The Power of Your Subconscious mind" that all religions are merely an expression of the unconcscious. They can help you release the restraints of your 'rational' self and connect with the unconscious or super conscious that is perhaps flowing through all of us.

I've played around, and if you are in good rapport, its a fun way to find what the collective unconcious of the group is ready to express. Usually yes or no answers to questiosn that everyone is in agreement on. It's a great way to explore other forms of communication.

And if you are in rapport with a girl, you can use them to "channel" a spirit tell her to jump on your baloney poney. After all, her dead grandmother is telling her to do it.

Just be careful of somebody named "Mr. Howdy" starts talking to you. That would be considered a danger sign.

 

[Darth]

What a waste of time....

Thats your interpretation of how the Bible is to be read but thats just the thing everyone interprets it a different way which makes it impossible to be verifiable as any form of truth.

That's the problem with Protestant churches IMO. Since they are going solely off of the Bible and the Bible is so vague in some places, they twist it to what they think it should be. They all think they have the definitive interpretation, but they're all going off of only the Bible, and they're all guessing. But that's neither here nor there...

Quit ridiculing Christianity and all the other religions you're not a member of, is what I'm saying.

 

[Upside]

We need a no religion discussion rule along with no politics. If this is how people are going to behave it isn't even worth it.

Kontroller I normally like what you have to say but you are totally wrong for attacking religion like this. I don't care what you believe in but at least try to be more respectful of the way people choose to live their lives.

 

[KontrollerX]

"Quit ridiculing Christianity and all the other religions you're not a member of, is what I'm saying."

I'm not ridiculing.

I'm pointing out that your religion of choice as well all others are FALSE and LIES.

To ridicule Christianity would be if I were to say Christianity was a poo poo religion.

Now sure I used the phrase bullsh!t but I was simply using the word "bullsh!t" as a harsher metaphor in place of the word "falsehood".

Sue me.

"We need a no religion discussion rule along with no politcis. If this is how people are going to behave it isn't even worth it."

Yay censorship!

You can stop reading my posts altogether if you are for censorship when something hits too close to home for you.

Censorship is not what I'm about at all.

There's plenty of topics and posts I see here that I hate and wish weren't here but I'm not a pro censorship person so I don't go on some crusade demanding people be silenced. Sometimes if I'm feeling up to posting in one of these topics for whatever reason I might ask the poster why they made the topic in the first place as I find it so ridiculous and unnecessary for the forum as I am doing here but even though I find this topic to be absolute, total and complete garbage I'd never advocate DoubleBarrel be censored from making it.

So in short if you believe in censorship you've really learned nothing at all from me I'm sorry to say.

So please stop following and reading my posts.

They are not helping you.

"you are totally wrong for attacking religion like this."

Its never wrong to tell people the truth.

Its wrong to give people false hope which religion does.

Its wrong to prey on vulnerable people's emotions which religion does.

Its wrong to indoctrinate children into religion which the religious do.

Its wrong to withhold food and comfort until people convert to Christianity which some Christians do.

Etc.

Etc.

So if you want to talk about real wrong things to do I'm all ears but saying its wrong to criticize religion well thats just wrong.

 

[Desdinova]

As much as I love a good religious debate, this thread needs to be closed.

,..Odin worship, Conan the Barbarian's worship of Crom (even though very cool)...
