>”The issue is whether they are fit for kids.”
And that, my friend, is up to the parents of those children, not you. If a person finds it’s reasonable to let their child play with one, that’s their decision.
Remember, the priests and judges in Salem, Mass. KNEW they were using reason and sound logic when attaching weights to an accused witch and throwing them in a pond. Reason would dictate that a witch would save herself by levitating, thus if she drowned, she was innocent.
As far as the issue with rasberries and blimps, I can give you provable, scientific evidence why blimps float and rasberries dont. What can you offer to prove that the ouija is controlled by, (cough) Satan? (I would hope it’s more than just a simple “feeling”) Now seriously, what if the ouija board is really controlled by God, and Satan has put these thoughts in your head to keep you from communicating with the Almighty? Ya know, the Son of Sam didnt need a ouija board to do evil, he just needed a dog.
Let me ask you a question. If you were king of the world, what would you do with ouija boards? Outlaw them? Ban them? Put people in jail who had one?
Some people may find the answer interesting (or frightening).

Err umm... “We should kill her if and only if she’s guilty. If we throw her in a pond, she’ll die if and only if she’s not guilty. Therefore, we should throw her in a pond.” No, that’s not logical at all. Mind you, logic can result in disastrous conclusions given untrue premises. By the way, you really should quit relying on Monty Python for your history or logic lessons. They didn’t have priests in Salem and they hanged suspected witches.

You mean “reason,” not “evidence.” Evidence would be that they do float, not why they do float. Such evidence would be sensible, not logical. Logical would be the explanation for why they float despite being heavier than raspberries, which do not float. Knowing something through evidence is sensible. Using that evidence to reach a conclusion which is not evident is logical.
>> Now seriously, what if the ouija board is really controlled by God, and Satan has put these thoughts in your head to keep you from communicating with the Almighty? <<
If your premise is that Christianity is a lie, and some occult, pagan religion is true, it might be a logical to use a ouija board. But I’m not starting from that premise. And unless you are, you’re premise is invalid.
>> Ya know, the Son of Sam didnt need a ouija board to do evil, he just needed a dog. <<
So what’s your point. He also didn’t need heroin. Doesn’t make heroin a good idea. He didn’t even need Obama. Doesn’t make Obama a good idea.

Some people might find the premise frightening, so naturally they’ll find whatever conclusion you reach frightening. I dare say I wouldn’t even want me to be king of the world. I don’t think we should have a king of the world. Not until someone competent to be king of the world comes along. But I’ll infer you’ve got some faulty logic going on in that brain of yours. The fact that I don’t approve of ouija boards does not imply that I’d desire some totalitarian abolition of them. Although, grant you, if I’m somehow king of the world, I’ve implicitly banned elections (since you don’t become king by election), so I might as well go ahead and ban ouija boards. I also detest rap music, so I guess I’d ban that, too. And cauliflower. Why bother being king of the world if you can’t ban cauliflower. Or WWE wrestling. But since I don’t have any ambition to be king of the world, I guess no-one should bother finding my opinions about ouija boards to be frightening.
Nice emotionalistic red herring, though.
