[quote=@Mammalia] Except we're not considering the prerequisites of some systematic study of demonology. The Bible clearly says that fortune telling is an abomination. "... anyone who practises divination or tells fortunes or interprets omens... is an abomination to the Lord." (Those ellipses are just there to shorten the text; it just lists a couple more things.) [/quote] So the entirety of revelations should be thrown out then. For all we know, this particular reading was done with yhvh directly influencing the results. He works in mysterious ways after all, and it's pretty clear he has no ill feelings about using things considered bad for christians to get his plan. If you want to look at it from a single theological view, fine, go ahead, but I'm going to give another view civilly while you give yours civilly. The worldly view is that they haven't been shown to produce results any better than a totally random selection, just like psychic card tests (forget the name atm) and the cross-theological view is that in order to get an accurate reading that actually warranted your reaction level, he'd have had to somehow come across someone in person who set things up that are incredibly unlikely to have been set up. :/ I get you're coming from the bible, but I'm trying to go from other places. Obviously I'm a bit more abrasive due to my personality, but ignore that :L
