OMG, it's an actual Jesus themed spirit board. ๐Ÿคฃ 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:

LOL it's like they know the whole thing is a joke but they're cashing in on it. Kudos to whoever is behind this!

Edit: That video is fucking hilarious!!

The crazy and ironic thing is that if this product was properly marketed, they could actually sell a shit ton of these to "Christians" like MGT and a number in the alt-right.

All of the commenters and reviewers are the same people that if this was magic blessed by some Christian pastor and actively marketed towards them, they'd buy it in a heartbeat, not because they believed it worked, but because they'd want to support a Christian.

I was able to find a news article where an exorcist from the Catholic Church warned people against buying it. This shit is hilarious.
