Quote# 60747

So, I was wondering if buying used books online, like thru the used venders on Amazon.com, was bad, as in can books be cursed? I noticed alot of the vendors from Oregon or NY, and I know occult is big in lots of those areas. I checked other books some of the vendors had and they had many demon, occult, type of books sometimes. I take Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior, so I know I have nothing to fear... but if I give some books (like Catholicism for Dummies) as a gift to someone who is not a believer yet, do they get harmed?

"And the yoghurt is also cursed."

Does it come with a free choice of toppings?

You should follow the pope's advise against condoms and put the bible over your dick.... Then set it on fire!

This reminds me of the one that said you should rip out Bible pages and put them in your underwear so demons can't rape you.

Soak all your books on religion in holy water for a week. That will cure them of all curses and stupidity.

If anyone gave me a used book called "Catholicism for Dummies" as a gift, *they'd* be harmed, not me.

No, but chances are they will get annoyed.

I hope this guy still believes this bollocks, that's some copies of religious books which won't be circulated :)

'Catholicism for Dummies'.

Now that's a book I'll have to find. Any apologetic that seeks to justify the Vatican's acts over the centuries must indeed be for dummies.

Yep, some books are cursed. Robert Jordan, Kevin J Anderson, Terry Goodkind. They (and others) have done strange and unspeakable things to humble paper. To read them is to look into madness and eventually scream "Damnmit! No more bloody sequels*, end it, end it.". But there is no ending, only hideous eternal insanity.

*Or Prequels, from another viewpoint, etc

The only way books can harm are paper cuts or getting it thrown at your head.

Believers in the occult believe books can be cursed. You believe books can be cursed. Therefore . . .

The radiation they get from going through the post office x-ray kills the curse. No worries, mate!

Actually Scott's answer would not be correct because it is not in the form of a question. Unless Jeopardy's changed the rules as of late. I haven't watched it in years.

Please get a life!

If you do not like occult or demon type of books, then don't bother with them. If you give a book to someone that they probably won't read, then no, they won't get harmed, but your gift may well end up online, for sale...

The Church stopped burning books since, at least, the eighteenth century. It´s just paper, dear, PAPER.

Simple: Perform exorcisms on books bought online that you mean to give to a non-believing friend before you give them away! That ought to get any demon nastiness out! I do wonder, though-- are cursed books a common occurrance? Seems like it must be, for you to be so concerned about it.

Oh, yeah. We Oregonians are all about the occult and the cursing of books. Powell's Bookstore is pretty much a nonstop Satan-summonong folio orgy.

[Folio Orgy would be a great name for a rock band.]

If the book ever made contact with the FATAL sourcebook, then by all means get it exorcised.

Of course, you have bigger problems to worry about if you're buying secondhand from someone who plays FATAL.
