Let's say kids who use the ouija board for divination, seances, witchcraft, or people that worhship pagan gods? People may not realize this and they ask why the world is so bad.
Isn't it like opening a Pandora's Box and letting it out?

Ooo goody I can answer this question twice *jumps up and down*
No sweets, it's not.
All of those things have been around in some form long before Christianity stalked the earth and will be around long after it fades.
The funny thing is that if people would just drop the lables and the "one true" stuff they would find out that we believe just about the same things.
Here, have a cupcake. Careful though, it's full of Pagan things, like love and acceptance and patient understanding in the face of silliness.

Have you met anyone who is a Pagan or a Witch/Wiccan before you asked this question? I know many people who are Wiccan, and they are some of the most altruistic people I have ever met. I know a few Pagans too, and this includes my husband and me. I would not consider myself an evil person, nor have I ever unleashed evil into the world through divination or a seance since I've never participated in either activity. (I haven't opened any sort of Evil out into the world.) I don't do witchcraft either; I'm pretty skeptical about the qualities of magick, so I don't do spells. I do pray to my Pagan Gods, which really doesn't differ from how Christians pray to the God of Abraham. I say "Blessed Be" at the end of my prayers instead of "Amen," which is the big difference. I don't do sacrifices or worship statues. I have spent a fair amount of my time in the secular world volunteering for organizations like Habitat for Humanity, Head Start, or just helping out friends and acquaintances to make their lives a little easier. I've even committed my life to being a teacher, one of the most important yet thankless jobs in America, because I want the world to be a better place.

Guess what. Kids playing with Ouija boards make about as much difference to the over all negitive energy or "evil" in the world as spitting into the wind. Seances and divination use energies that already exist. Worshipers of "pagan" gods do nothing to increase negitive vibes. What does? Hatred, intolerance, fear, subjugation bigorty, and all the other bad things that people do to one another.

Kids playing with ouija boards or expirimenting with witchcraft doesn't alarm me nearly as much as do the religious zealots in this country who are continuously trying to ram their beliefs and values down the throats of the rest of us. People who try to tell me which god my kid has to pray to in a public school, what I may and may not do with my body and who think they are smart enough to choose which values and ways of worship are best for the rest of us are scary, scary people and I would rather every kid in the world played with ouija boards than have to continually fight off the assaults the religious right makes upon my civil liberties every damn time I turn around. If they are busy playing with ouija boards and sacrificing albino wharf rats to the spirit of Hermann Munster then they are probably not out smoking paint thinner or setting fires and they are certianly not trying to tell me who to be or how to live! Better that there are more like these kids and less bible-thumping, hate-mongering, TRULY evil folks in the world if you ask me (and you did, so there!!)

Are you kidding me? You think someone playing with a ouija board or reading tarot cards is the reason evil exist? Evil does not equate to "not Christian".

I really do not have scientific proof, on the Ouija board, some swear strange things have happened, I'm not going to mess with something that might invite trouble.

no evil is within us all when we are born that has not changed at all it is only owe mind and body that decides to be that way..
religion has no part of evil really other then it's actions are mostly evil but the true idea with it is peace they just forget that side of it now days

First off Adam and Eve open the world to evil thru their disobedience to God....... And yes there are people that do serve evil and they know that they are Satan servant..... Can this world get any worst off than it is yes... And the evil that is happening everyday to man-kind is proof enough that this is happening...... Can man-kind turn this all around no for it is much too late for that....... But it is not to late for man-kind to turn back to God and follow God's ways and perhaps save more members of man-kind from a very ugly death....................................................................................

No I don't think so.All those things have been around for hundreds of years.I think Earth is just a negative place always has been and probably always will be.

Evil has always been around. It is just channeled through those people.
