My favorite diety is Inari-sama, one of the Shinto gods of Japan. He's the protector of prosperity and prostitutes....

A very trivial correction, but it's a Ouija board, from the French and German words for yes: oui and ja. So, it's a Yes-yes board.

I think that one has to believe in it to make it work. I don't, and all I've ever gotten from it is gibberish.

I would propose that there's nothing mystical or spiritual about a Quija board, but that it's just the operator's subconscious working on it. Certainly, there's no scientific verification that one works. Giving it as proof for the existence of god or a higher power provides little substance to the argument.

OK, so far, I think this thread has gone very well.

However, due to email and PM, let it be known, I will not close it nor edit it as stands NOW.

It's fine.

If you can't deal with it, don't read it.

Carry on.

Lol. I think if anyone asks me that, I'll tell them, "No, I'm God. I've always existed and always will exist." I wonder what their reaction would be? At least, they'd probably leave me alone after that.

Does this mean that there is a "HOOKER HEAVEN" for "RICH HO's"?

...since they are already rich then do they quit charging once they get to heaven?

I have a plan that works pretty good.

I tell the Jehovah's Witnesses missionaries that I am a Mormon, and I tell Mormon missionaries that I am a Jehovah's Witness.

Then, if the Baptists, Assembly of God or other missionaries come around I flip a coin and heads, M, tails, JW.

Seems to work...try it.

...if you have a couple of good-looking hookers over have them go to the door naked and tell them that they are busy having sex and to just go away...
