I think parapsychology will prevail as a field of study for certain curious people to the very end of time. There are spirits in our midst only too eager to engage with us. Give the old Ouija board a try and you'll see! But for the true Christian it is no more than a diversionary waste of time possibly leading to personal spirit pest companions that one will need to inevitably rid themselves of. In hindsight such person may conclude that delving into such things was beneficial only in making them aware of the Father of Spirits, a desperate prayer to whom engaged an Angel to combat the demon(s) and help them out of their predicament. Either this or employ the services of an exorcist. Better by far for such person to use their time making themselves useful helping the less fortunate or less able. Thus they may find themselves at death in a much more pleasant extended consciousness realm than we are in now.
I have given the Ouija board many tries over and I did see. My issue with the "true Christian" is that there is zero spiritual freedom in that program. In affect, they say, "Read this book, go to church, this is all that you need to know." If you question anything about their book, they refer you back to the book, and when they are stumped, they say, "Have faith."
Granted, there are many great people who are Christian. Alex has had several on his podcast. However, that line of "Christian" thinking, to me, is intellectually lazy. I would say "plain stupid," but I don't want to be offensive because you certainly seem to be a kind person.
For me, raised in a family so incredibly Christian that we couldn't even celebrate Halloween, I would say that Christians were a diversionary waste of time possibly leading to hypocritical "people" pest companions that I would eventually need to rid myself of. To this day, I consider myself far from Christian. Everybody else in my family is still part of that Christian cult, but I am not. How did this happen?
An other worldly entity to me is not a shadow person, bigfoot, a grey alien, or a spirit that can move objects. Instead, it is the majority of lunatics that believe they are good and wholesome because they went to the same institution as all the other good and wholesome; and read the same book.
