If supernatural shit is real, and you take it as seriously as a heart attack on the strength of nothing tangible...then there is literally no limit to the horrors lurking just beyond your perception waiting for you to blindly stumble into them.

It's a toy, with no special powers or anything in and of itself.
...But if your intention is to contact beings from other planes of existence, sure, maybe your wishes will be answered. You could use a pair of worn out shoes for that matter. Without getting into specifics, I know there are other beings just as surely as there beings here everyday (or not here actually, you choose how real this all is), and in my experience some are good, some are tricksters, and some are evil, just like we might experience everyday in our normal lives. Frankly I really wish I didn't know that, or had doubts, but that's not the case. I don't know the why, but ime they must be invited into your presence in order to cause harm, or contrarily if told to leave because they weren't invited and you sense malintent (or are just uncomfortable), (especially if you invoke a "higher" spiritual power) they will, up to and including the most evil. Don't bother asking for specifics, I'm not writing more on it, but "don't fuck around with things you don't understand" is sound advice no matter what you're dealing with. Yeah, yeah, go on and tell me to take my meds or whatever, I deserve it for responding in GD lol. |

If you do not believe then you do not believe if you do then you do. I just have one thing to say do not waste your money or time on them. I would recommend never messing with them at all or try contacting anything with them just leave it alone.

I know you can feel it let it in people will still hate you in the end.
So hate back, plan the attack then they will realize they cannot crack the mind of a fucking maniac. The voice inside you always wins your grave's been dug so lie in it. |

I'd like to see him disprove it. Actually I'd be perfectly willing to talk to that person--I might inquire as to how he/she knew the name of the voice, if it identified itself or if the listener simply assumed. I'd be curious as to exactly what "Allah" said. But all of this is pretty much beside the mark. I don't engage these threads to try to "prove" anything to people who don't believe, because that is a fool's errand. If you had paid attention, you would see that I always engage these threads to warn Christians about dabbbling with the occult in any form, and to remind them that such things are forbidden by their very faith and an abomination in the sight of their God--which is a thing surprisingly few Christians seem to understand. I meet them in real life all the time. Inevitably the threads turn to "the need for proof"--which is part and parcel of the intellectual Chinese finger-trap with which satan snares the intellectually prideful. Something can be objectivelly "True" even in the absence of any "proof" at all--that should be self-evident. "Proof" is not a pre-condition for the inherent Truth of anything--it is merely a condition which skeptics attach to their acceptance of something as "factual". And Bully for you. But here is the carefully laid logic of the Chinese-finger trap in regard to belief in God. God isn't interested in you knowing Him on a FACTUAL basis, and generally doesn't and won't provide "proof"--He seems to desire that a believer engage/dialoge with His existence using the mechanism of Faith--but of course you sort reject the very mechanism by which God desires as a basis for relationship/revelation, and then when you have no relationship, in the absence of that relationship, you insist that therefore God doesn't exist. But there is actually even more in play here, in these interactions. You hold the conceit that IF God provided you with "proof" of his existence, THEN you would believe in Him. I'll go out on a limb and call Bullshit. You wouldn't. Instead, the actual cause your hatred of Him would just become more readily transparent. Does the notion that you might not/would not aknowlege, love or serve God EVEN if you had perfect knowlege of His existence surprise you? It shouldn't. Apparently a third of the angels in heaven, including lucifer himself, proved themselves to be ugly, toxic, prideful, loveless turds--and the demons in hell, they're WAY smarter than you'll ever be. Not that I could ever PROVE that to your satisfation. But trust me. They ARE. lol. |

However, that means that your belief is not based on facts. That's fine for you, but doesn't work for me. This doesn't make me prideful or a know it all. It makes me skeptical. If god is real, and he made me, then he made me questioning and skeptical. He refuses to reveal himself to me even if I ask, and even if his word says he will. What sort of god does that? Why do you think I would refuse to acknowledge him if there was proof? You don't know me. Why should I trust you? You don't have any proof...no evidence...just "trust me bro, my religion is the right one and the thousands of others are totally wrong". |

I'll really never understand the logic behind the belief in God. Either he's all powerful or he isn't. If he isn't, he's not God. If he is, he's responsible for a whole lot of needless suffering of innocents. Either way he loses my vote. He can go fuck himself.

Ok here is something I don't understand about modern Christians. The original bible has been edited so many times, with so much added and removed, how do you know that what you are preaching is the truth. I understand the basic Tennant is the ten commandments are rules to live by to be a good person, which any moral person would normally do anyway. The Bible is basically a history book describing events that unfolded during a time period, through the eyes of multiple people, folded into a narrative. Where did the idea of hell come from? It is not in the bible, nore is it described . And the discussion of divinity and the summination of evil spirits is not either as far as I can see. Are those things old testament ideas thar are not included in the KJB?

What does the bible say about Conjuring Up Spirits
The Bible refers to Hell over 162 times in the NT alone ... |

For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood from His workmanship, so that men are without excuse.

View Quote Because original texts, written in the original languages, dating back to the second(?), third(?), and fourth centuries, are still in existence. There are very nice scans on the internet and if wish you can learn the languages and do your own translation and see how well the present translations match yours. Many thousands of Biblical scholars have been doing this for a long time. They argue about amazingly minuscule details too, it’s interesting to read. But yes our translations available today are pretty good. I’m not going to slide into recommending one as that’s a huge subject for a different thread in the religion subforum. |

If God exists, and I really hope he does, I can't wait to pull his fucking face off of his head and show it to him as he dies. Now that is hubris. Look into original sin and how the Earth is polluted. Sorry about your son but mankind brought this upon ourselves. |
