Why do some people believe Tarot Cards are a "Sin"...?

What facts on EARTH would EVER give someone the impression that a deck of cards used for spiritual reasons could be "sinful"? I am learning how to use Tarot cards right now, and being an Intuitive Spiritual person, this is merely another step for me in my experience as a spiritual healer. As I've been pulling little bits of information here and there, I came across a particular question here on Yahoo, funny enough.... it was categorized in the religion and SPIRITUALITY section... and 9 out of 10 of the responses were useless uninformative and just plain ignorant and people could only respond with "Your evil!!! The Cards are Evil!!! Burn them!!" Another answer was "You need to go repent for your sins NOW.... those cards are the work of the Devil" What kind of crap answers are those? (I capitalized the spiritual part because in case you're already thinking of what nasty comments you'd like to add to my question here in regards to how I'm doing sinful things with my life, I'd like to reiterate the fact this is NOT a religious section, but a spiritual and religious section... So if your religious and FIRMLY feel for whatever made up reason in your brain that Tarot cards are an evil creation of the devil.... then move along don't waste your time or mine with your petty comments UNLESS it has to do with WHERE you got this information of Tarot being EVIL. Oh and if your going to say... the bible... or from God... I'd like some proof on that please. As I find the religious people to be all about "proof" yet the proof they provide in return for their rebuttals are usually in the form of a book that has been translated and altered thousands of times by thousands of people. Therefore this is NOT proof,.... in my opinion of course. I want straight facts or no answer period.) Anyway, so as far as Tarot being "evil" and "demonic" I can't disagree MORE with that point. As I myself like I've already said am a spiritual person, I am an Indigo, so those of you unfamiliar with what an Indigo is, you can look it up.. and I have been at peace with myself for a while now and have never been happier and more content with my life. (I doubt this is the work of the "Devil"). I'm awake to the world and see things a little more then what they appear to be, therefore I understand the Tarots purpose is merely an outlet to another Consciousness that many have yet to figure out, that is if they are ever willing to accept what changes will come to them. Please try to be respectful of others beliefs here, you can disagree with me, but please be informative, do not write "Your evil, Tarot is Evil and sinful"... I will report any useless answers, I'm looking for detail and a STRONG back up point to WHY you think what you do about them. PS,There are no wrong Answers, everyone has their beliefs. However there are such things as uneducated answers. So please, I think I've said it enough.... give your reason in DETAIL for your beliefs as factual as you can produce. Thanks!

1. Tarot is considered a form of divination, which is a no-no in the Bible I personally just think they are pieces of cards that people interpret the way that they want. There is nothing mystical about them EDIT: To answer below....A pentagram used to be a Christian symbol
2. And what do you want to be when you grow up?.................................
3. Because you are still Justifying SIN. (Deuteronomy 18: 9-12.) Period.
4. Because it is "divination", which is forbidden in the Bible. All occult practices are satanic. They do not come from God, and therefore are forbidden.
5. Tarot cards are a tool for divination, and the bible states divination is evil, so many people who believe that the bible in infallible, they then believe Tarot cards are evil. Good luck reasoning with them. I use Tarot cards myself. I love to work with them and to give readings with them. Good luck in your journey and readings.
6. the same reason people believe pentagrams are evil. They have represented something that we shouldn't be dealing with. Trying to connect with the dead, demons, or anything trying to know our future or change our future.
