I have the belief and faith that an Ouija is like any other amplifier of an operants own abilities for divination, just as pendulums, water bowls, cyystal balls, meditation, and Tarot cards. There are no invasions by ghosts spirits or anyhing evil unless the operant causes such on purpose.
I also believe this ongoing Christian rant on the use of OuiJa is because the Christian operants want "scary" things to happen because they've been trained that any kind of Magick must bring evil. The board just amplifies their ability to call forth their own darkness and if spirits are about greet those spirits with fear and hatred. Though, by their own words and their Bible, spirits go only to heaven and hell they do not "haunt the living" nor are spirits intrinsically evil.
I do not believe now or have I ever believed in Satan, Devils, or Demons. There is no reason I should fear them coming through a Board. I do believe a certain amount of people & religions need fear and evil in their lives

One more detail: The Ouija is the most inefficent of amplifiers and that is why I call it a toy.

I'll say again a board of wood or composite cannot be debunked by anyone. Only the operant or operants with there hands on the planchette can be debunked.

The boards work by unconscious muscle movement on the part of the user. This was proven by Michael Faraday (and others before him) by using wax that always showed that physical force was used. The spirit theory is thus shown not to be needed to explain the board. That said I believe the overwhelming amounts of evidence that ESP and PK effects are real phenomena. Therefore information unknown to the user might be acquired via ESP while using the board and physical effects could also be observed (I have seen no good evidence of this with the board) both without requiring spirits to be present.
This does not mean that there are not spirits just that the board is not good evidence for their existence or interaction.

I agree with you. Though I was raised a Methodist, I am now atheist and had never connected the Ouija Board with evil.

I believe it's evil spirits...but I'm a Christian, and you don't care about what I have to say.

I think one explanation can be that it is the users subconscious minds manipulating the outcomes.

It's all human imagination. There are no 'spirits' involved.
