4. The average individual lacks the power of will to withstand a full press of even a minor demon, no less a major demon. Once a dark presence is felt, clergy should be notified.

I suppose it depends somewhat on what the "average individual" means. In some congregations, probably so. In others I've been in, most members could deal with some pretty fierce demonic attacks rather readily and routinely.I think it had to do with the anointing of the leadership and the quality of the Biblical teaching as well as the modeling by the leadership of Biblical relationships with God and one another.

6. Blaming tarot cards, Ouija boards or the similar is like blaming the victim for being raped. Humans by their nature are curious and seek answers. As you have a Guardian Angel, there are a host of evil creatures assigned to destroy the relationship between God and man.

That would mean that the Bible is merely a collection of mild suggestions. It is NOT.

God makes very clear that such things are to be avoided and that there are stiff consequences if individuals violate God's COMMANDS about such matters.

Violating God's commands about such matters gives satan's forces legal entry to the individual's life and being up to the limit God allows.

Such an allegation as made in #6 above is horrifically destructive to unwitting, untaught, poorly taught, self-indulgent individuals and anyone else who'd take such an UnBiblical statement at face value. Even reading a horoscope has been found to give demonic entry as well as open one up, in some cases, to UFO abductions.
