One of my bosses, a NAVAL MD from WWII was stationed in Japan. They loved the culture etc. and designed their home overlooking San Diego from a hill in the Japanese style with plenty of stuff from Japan. Most of it they ended up destroying after learning from a very trusted personal source that Buddhist monks would routinely pray demons into objects before shipping them to the west.
Objects are not usually inherently evil or good per se. There can be exceptions depending on history and use. And, objects can be dedicated to evil or good with meaningless or powerful ceremonies. Satanists don't get into animal and child sacrificies for idle recreation. Blood sacrifice has carried a measure and type of power with it since Eden. Christ settled the issue on The Cross for those who CHOOSE to apply His Blood covering for their imperfections, sins. Those still at war with him and in league with Satan seek whatever demonic power they can--including praying demonic forces into or at least into association with talismans, voodoo dolls etc. Depending on many factors, such objects can have influence on individuals and settings.
I personally have witnessed relief from relationship as well as health problems in families the church was involved in helping counseling when evil objects were removed from the home.
Scoff if you will. If you have an experience, you needn't bother about people who merely have an argument. I pray you never have such an experience. But the times are getting darker. Such will likely increase. If anyone should try various other methods to overcome such a problem, The Blood of Jesus is the only solution. Applying it in prayer is available--providing there is someone with an authentic relationship with Him who knows how to apply their authority in Him--or perhaps Christ is granting a special grace in a particular situation based on earnest calling on His Name.
I never scoff at anything other people truly believe.
However, my basic premise is still correct. If an inanimate object becomes possessed, it is no longer inanimate. The object itself cannot be either good or evil; it is the being possessing it which possess the attributes of good or evil.
