Popular or Unpopular Opinion? Halloween Addition
In relating to exorcism or vampires, etc - I heard a comedian ask... What if possessed people never even heard of God and one day they were like, "damn why does this lowercase t burn so bad?"
And yes that's funny.
But got me thinking that......it's because people believe in the symbol. We put power behind it. So it works.
Think of how many people around the globe put power in that lowercase t.
Story relating to the cross..
I once participated in a Ouija board game. Just me and one other. In the bathroom before the game I put on my cross necklace (ironically because I remember my sisters friend put on a cross necklace before THEY had done one years earlier so I thought it was good advice.)
As I clasped it, the necklace broke and the cross fell to the floor.
I really did think, "Not today satan", and put the cross in my pocket.
We played the game. Nothing happened.
The last question I asked was, "Are you here?" In reference to my deceased dad.
Nothing.
I made sure to move the shot glass, our improvised planchet, off the board because that's what some website said and it seemed smart. Closing the door completely, etc.
I got ready for bed and as I went to turn the living room light off...I noticed the shot glass was on the board.
I got closer and the shot glass was over the word, "Yes"
Immediately I asked the only other person in the room, They swore they didn't. I told them to please just tell me, that it was just so wrong.
They never confessed. And tbh I will never know the truth.
Now it is just a story to share.
edit: I forgot to ask the actual question. Do you believe in God? Ghosts? Ouija boards?
to add: I was 26.
