I'll go ask my magic 8 ball.

Funny you say this. Whenever someone would bring a Magic 8 Ball to school, the Pentecostal kids would inevitably show up to yell at us for “summoning demons” and “disobeying Jesus” because we were “fortune telling”.

Of course this was the same school district that had to give out permission slips whenever we talked about probability because it would involve flipping coins, and rolling dice.

This is actually hilarious.

I'm pretty sure experiences like this, reading about Greek mythology, and paranormal fraudsters as a kid inoculated me to religion.

I will never understand how a grown ass adult can take the supernatural seriously.
