"Pitt Happens"

Look ThePittman, until you do as I have suggested (i.e. ask those who have personally experienced the Ouija Board working independent of ideomotor effect, or who have encountered demons, etc.) you will never be persuaded that it is true (that or unless you have these same experiences).
For one I have, I have talked to many people about this game and demons and spirits and the like. I as Shakyamunison played with it when I was younger and this is when I still believed there maybe a God and demons and such and it didn’t do anything for me. My friends that also played with me that it did “move” and swore that it worked I tested them with the blindfold even before I knew about the ideomotor effect because I knew even at that early age about the subconscious mind and first hand I saw that it was BS.
Asking someone that believes this to be real and that they have seen demons and spirits is pointless because the mind and perception is very subjective and many times not reliable. My friend Dave has a master in psychology and I have gone with him many times to his work and seen people that believe they have been “touched” by demons and spirits and I would hardly call them creditable. My dad who is suffering from a chemical imbalance in his brain now believes in spirits and the like when before he didn’t because as he says “he was shown” that they existed when I know for watching him progress into this state that his brain chemistry has changed that it is all in his mind.
Also how could I ask anyone that is “independent” of the ideomotor effect when that is how the game works?
