A few nights ago, a couple of my friends (who aren't christians and are very into meditation, spiritual experiences, etc.) made a ouija board and experimented with it. They said they met a group of "people" and were talking with them for hours. They've been documenting their conversations and everything. My friends told me their names and their stories and that they've been doing this for 3 or 4 nights in a row.
I know they're communicating with demons, and im not sure what to do. They actually believe they're talking to dead people in a sort of limbo. If i try and tell them they're actually talking to demons posing as dead people, they won't believe me, and will roll their eyes, basically.

"If i try and tell them they're actually talking to demons posing as dead people, they won't believe me, and will roll their eyes, basically."
Did it ever occur to you that they're rolling their eyes because it's just one big game and you're taking it far too seriously and out of context. The symbol moves over letters so it must be demons or ghosts trying to communicate, but heaven forbid that you think that they're just moving it themselves. If the demons/ghosts want to talk to you, let them do so without anybody touching the symbol.
Hearing a fundy talk about a Ouija board is always fun. Back when I was little I went to a Christian camp, and when one of the fundy counsellors brought up how Ouija was demon worship, no one knew what it was, so naturally we asked. He said that Satan was directing our conversation toward evil things.
Wow, when they make such a huge fuzz over a stupid little wooden disc, I can't wait to see what they'll do to global warming, poverty, the AIDS crisis in Africa, and the high crime rate in the US.Oh crap.
I'm sorry, I don't know who's sillier. You the crazy Christian fundie, or your friends the crazy Wiccans who see dead people.
Sounds like a bad case of the stupid leading the deluded. You and your friends are all nuts on different branches of the same tree. (Unless, of course, your friends are just having you on because they know you are a gullible idiot.)
You know what I do when people tell me they talk to spirits with a home-made ouija board?
Pssst, joleigh's friends!
Pull the other one, it plays "Jingle Bells."
Ain't it cute, one gullible fool is distraught about other gullible fools.
Look, dearie, there are no demons, spirits or ghosts, and Ouija boards don't work, really.
10 to 1, your friends already know what you are thinking.
Today I used the "random" post feature, it changes from the current standard bigotry normalization propaganda and political disinformation echo loop. Often more entertaining too, like this post.
As some have pointed out, when one has any impression that it works, it has to do with the ideomotor response, something that can be played with using other harmless tricks as well and often involves autosuggestion. But when used for divination, it also involves flawed human interpretation of mostly random input.
So both were wrong and deluded, obviously. Or perhaps that as some suggested, the joke was on the superstitious demon believer. It can only be harmful by being misled and jumping to false conclusions, taking them seriously, irrational fear, etc.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
