    OMG, it’s an actual Jesus themed spirit board. 🤣 The instructions are just divine:

    How to use the Holy Spirit Board

    The Holy Spirit Board is the only board that you and your friends can use to communicate directly with our Lord and savior Jesus Christ either in a group or by yourself!

    1. Place the game board on a table or other sturdy, flat surface.

    2. Place the Magic Cross on the board.

    3. Have everyone lay thine hands upon the Magic Cross, and say the following prayer:

    “Oh Magical Jesus, please guide our hands to answer our questions, Amen!”

    4. Next, ask Jesus a question. It can be any question you want! Jesus knows everything!

    5. Let the Holy Spirit guide your hands to move the Magic Cross around the board. You can ask a “yes or no” question, or, let the Magic Cross spell out your answer one letter at a time!

    When Jesus has answered all your questions, don’t forget to say goodbye!

    And remember: anyone who says the Holy Spirit Board doesn’t work is both a liar and a sinner in the eyes of our Lord. Amen.

    Edit: there’s even a website with a video promoting it:

    this is not surprising at all, given the fact that we live in a world where people genuinely believe the earth is flat and vaccines are nanobot biospyware invented by bill gates

    “Goodbye Jesus” Hahaha that really got me. Shouldn’t it be Amen or something else.

      The ones I found most amusing were the “I was hoping this was for real but it’s just a gag product” ones. If you really believe this stuff works, wouldn’t a “gag product” still work just as well?

    The Holy Spirit Board is the only spirit board designed to directly contact our lord and savior Jesus Christ! Unlike other spirit boards that are often used to contact ghosts and demons, this is a one way ticket straight to heaven. Try it today, and discover a new way to pray!

    I want so bad for someone to ELI5 the belief system that includes:

    • Ghosts, demons, and a conscious ephemeral Jesus Christ are all out there waiting to be contacted
    • Sliding a thing across a board is an effective way to talk to them, but like… Shaking up some Scrabble tiles, or scribbling on a sheet of paper with your eyes closed or whatever is not
    • Which invisible entity you’re talking to depends on the theme and art of the board

    REALLY curious to know how all of that fits together.
