6. Blaming tarot cards, Ouija boards or the similar is like blaming the victim for being raped.

It is not. That is an abominable analogy.

One CHOOSES to dabble in the occult with tarot cards and ouija boards. Although man does seek for answers, the Bible is readily available to all and God puts it in men's hearts to seek HIM. And it's not feasible that anyone in this country doesn't know that there's a church around the corner to which he can go for answers if need be.

People go to the occult not because they don't know that they can go to God but because they don't want to go to God.

God gives us warnings to not dabble with spiritism for a reason. You go to spirits besides God for answers, you're contacting them. That gives them the opportunity to work in your life after that, at your invitation.

I'm going to have to respectfully disagree. A significant majority of people who use those tools of divination have no expectation of contact an "EVIL" spirit, they may want to contact Granny to see how she's doing on the "Other Side" or if that job in Dallas is going to pan out.

What most don't realize or don't care, evil is opportunistic and will take ever possible advantage to attach to the simple of mind. The same can be said of that short skirt or low cut blouse that looked so great in the shop. Opportunity arises for the slack of jaw with bad intentions.

the question here is not blaming but fixing the problem
