>”You need a refresher in logic.”
“The definition of LOGIC: sensible argument and thought: sensible rational thought and argument rather than ideas that are influenced by emotion or whim.”
By comparing the drug heroine, which is a tangible substance, to a childs game, which you are emotionally afraid of, you are literally comparing apples to oranges.
No one is going to dispute that the drug is physically addictive and damaging, yet there is simply no evidence that the ouija board causes any kind of harm/damage.
If you can present me with any kind of physical evidence that the ouija board causes physical/emotional harm, I’ll admit I’m wrong. (BTW, do I need to offer that I can present you with evidence about heroine?)
First, I’m not afraid of Ouija boards. I understand quite well they how they work, so I’m not going to be amazed when they work. The issue is whether they are fit for kids.
Second, you literally don’t even know the meaning of the word, “logic.” Logic often operates exactly contrary to sensibility.

Uh, no.
1. the science that investigates the principles governing correct or reliable inference.
2. a particular method of reasoning or argumentation: We were unable to follow his logic.
3. the system or principles of reasoning applicable to any branch of knowledge or study.
4. reason or sound judgment, as in utterances or actions: There wasn’t much logic in her move.
5. convincing forcefulness; inexorable truth or persuasiveness: the irresistible logic of the facts.
Suppose I declare that all donks are hoofahs, and billybray is a donk, therefore billybray is a donk, I am not being at all sensible. I am, however, being logical. If I explain that zeppelins are heavier than raspberries, I am describing something contrary to the senses, since zeppelins appear to have negative weight. I am, again, however, being logical.
Likewise, if I use an analog to make the point that harmless to a single person is not the same as being safe, I can be eminently logical by using an extreme example of something which is certainly unsafe, yet was harmless to one person.
Logic is a practice of gaining knowledge BEYOND what is sensible. Many things are sensible but not logical, such as things which bring inate joy. Many things are logical, but not sensible. Some things which are logical, but not sensible are true, such as complex mathematical proofs. Some things can be logical but not true, such as valid conclusions made based on faulty information.
