Fortune cookies?

[bugz2007]

Sure it could, if taken to an extreme.

My experience has been with the fortunes in the cookies such as:

“A thrilling time is in your immediate future.”

“Your everlasting patience will be rewarded sooner or later.”

(Both from Chinese-fortune-cookie.com where else? )

…neither of which I’d say were problematic when shared with my spouse and another married couple at dinner.

I would agree. But share it within a group of teenagers, as a teenager yourself…then there may be a problem.

Many years ago, my family, including a bunch of my aunts, uncles and cousins went to a Chinese restaurant and after supper we carefully cracked open our cookies and extracted the ‘fortunes’. One of my cousins crushed his cookie in his hand so he was left with a handful of crumbs which spilled out all over the table. His fortune read, “Never grasp more than the hand can hold.” We’ve never let him live it down.

To the OP. I don’t think they fall into the sinful category. They are a novelty item, like the rubbish toys and atrocious jokes in Christmas crackers

Fortune cookies come from fortune tellers, which are similar to mediums! All that stuff is occult based, and I refuse to read anything that can try and tell me my future… only God holds my life in His hands and I will obey Him and His laws. Not some occult based fortune cookie.

God warned that all who practise sorceries will be cast into the lake of fire. I’m not saying that reading a fortune cookie will send you to hell, but why would you want to have anything to do with something God clearly detests?

Fortune cookies come from fortune cookie factories, not mediums. If I ever met anybody seriously indulging in Chinokourabiedemancy, I think he’d be someone with more mental problems than occult ones.

But hey, if you don’t want your fortune cookie, I’ll eat it.
