Re: What's Wrong with Halloween?

Thank you and I just read the whole thing. Wow, that's disturbing and a bit scary. So many dangers and so many people don't even know. I tape a sign to our door every year saying that this is a Christain home, we do not celebrate Halloween. We end up getting our door egged, a pumpkin smashed against our building and toilet paper thrown at our tree. I keep saying that one day I will catch who ever keeps doing it but I believe it happens late at night when we have already gone to bed, I'm planing on staying up all night on Halloween to catch those who are vandalizing our building. Halloween brings out the worst in some people. Just because it's a devil's helliday, they think it's okay to act like little devils. Such a shame.

Check your local laws! Perhaps there is a "stand your ground" law in your state?

Wouldn't it be grand to gun those little heathens down? As long as it is legal.

I would recommend a Mossberg 500 series pump-action shotgun. Kill a couple trespassers this year, and enjoy a quiet halloween for years to come.

Should such laws not exist in your area, a few rottweilers or pit bulls may be in order. You can train them with child-sized dummies stuffed with raw meat and wearing halloween customs for most of the year, and then abstain from feeding the dogs the week before devil's night.

Re: What's Wrong with Halloween?

My friend, would Jesus pretend to be someone He is not, just to get free candy? True Christians™ try to live like Him.

Nothing good can come from pretending to be a witch in the dark and whoring yourself for a bag of M&Ms.

Ok, they never said anything about dressing up in a skanky costume (though there is no denying that many exist). And yes, I do recognize that Halloween is based on All Hallows Eve, a pagan holiday. In the freaking Celtic times!! Believe it or not, society tends to have a way of evolving and leaving the original meaning of things behind. Like Christmas! The date is based on an old pagan celebration, but the old Catholic church decided to use that day to celebrate the birth of Christ to try and make it a less drastic switch when people converted to Christianity. Should we abandon Christmas as a sinful, pagan-based ritual too?

All I'm really trying to say is that in modern times, Halloween means something completely different to people. It means hanging out with family and friends, having fun together and maybe building some strength in their neighborhood communities by actually interacting with each other.

It's completely the wrong question.. What's RIGHT about Halloween? The answer is simple.. NOTHING. It is Satan's birthday.

And Satan can't have a birthday because he WAS NEVER BORN. He was created directly by God as an angel in heaven. He then fell to earth when he envied God and rebelled against Him.

If you still celebrate December 25 as a holy day, then yes, you should abandon it. It is, as you say, naught but a Pagan holy day usurped by the papists to coerce Germans into being papists as well. Why do you think people have Christmas Trees? It was to appease the temperamental Goths (Germans), and make them think they were included in the Roman culture.

So there we have it.. .God dropped Lucifer into the pit on October 31. End of discussion..

Butterfinger. Stinking amazing. And church of Christ as in, old fashioned beliefs and traditions. Difference is, I try to keep from instantly judging anything that i don't approve of as instantly satanic and anyone who thinks otherwise will burn in hell for having an opinion that disagrees with me. I look into it, use some common sense, then form my own opinion. Not.instantly.damn.it.

Re: What's Wrong with Halloween?

What is this "opinion" you speak of? The Word of God is not subject to "opinion". It is sacred and inviolate, PERIOD.

How do you know it was on that day? Give me one scripture reference.

So, I should abandon the day I celebrate the birth of my Savior just because it happens to conincide with a pagan ritual from thousands of years ago?

From what chapter and verse in the Holy Bible do you read Jesus was born on the 25th of December?

Well that very much sums it up. If people would just stop trying to use common sense (which doesn’t even exist in the first place; prove me wrong by defining it), the world wouldn’t be such a God mocking place. If people wouldn’t constantly try to form their own opinions, they would stand a chance of NOT ending up in Hell. It’s really simple. It’s not like you have to use your confused brain to figure anything out yourself; it’s all written down for you in the Bible (KJV 1611). It’s all there!
