Q2.1 Is the Ouija evil or just a game?

Since it's nearly impossible to merge the two views on this topic, I've tried to accurately sum them up here:

• The ouija board is not any more evil than your Monopoly board. It's just a toy, a piece of cardboard, and any "evil" force you feel emanating off it is purely a result of your imagination. Yes, the pointer does work, but that's the result of tiny involuntary physical movements, and the messages you see are coming from your subconscious or psychic mind.
  
• The ouija is in fact a powerful tool, and its powers cannot, and should not, be written off entirely as your subconscious. Inexperienced ouija users are especially prone to being affected by malevolent forces which communicate through the board, often masquerading as a departed loved one. The best way to avoid this sort of thing is not to use the board at all.
