I don't know who you or these off-coast wizards of yours are, but I do know that all that witchcraft and vampirism is satanic.

dressed up during Halloween

no Christian dresses up as any.thing

What is it with these EMO creeps have they taken a vow of causing offence everywhere they go? Yes we know that before accepting Jesus we were "dressed up" as harlots all the time whether sleeping or waking whether catholic or mohammedan which are basically the same things from what I can make out or sikh or wretched Jew. Because all of these worship idols.

Micah 1:7 All the graven images thereof shall be beaten to pieces, and all the hires thereof shall be burned with the fire, and all the idols thereof will I lay desolate: for she gathered it of the hire of an harlot, and they shall return to the hire of an harlot. kjv

Prancing around in lurex hotpants or dressing up as a warlock is not on God's agenda and He is very specific that any money spent on idols—statues of Mary or gilded moons or pictures of guru Nanek or going into an autistic psychosis obsessing over some ancient wall—is the same as funding a pimpmobile. He would rather go naked pretending to be a dragon while simultaneously hooting like an owl.
.
Prostitution concerns God greatly and The Bible is clear that all false religions are whoredom. Jews think that God will remember them if they clown around by the ruins of their temple which is sort of true I suppose because God will never forget what they did to Jesus and you'd think they'd lie low for a while after that but anyway when Jesus returns He will be killing all the Jews and all the Romish catholics and all the sikhs and all the mahommadens and all the game fetish community none of whom acknowledge Jesus as LORD because if they did they would become Christians and cease worshipping their current god. Satan.

Micah 1:8 Therefore I will wail and howl, I will go stripped and naked: I will make a wailing like the dragons and mourning as the owls. kjv

Magic The Gathering is like a great big carbuncle on the face of a once beautiful woman, the world we live in, ruined. Ruined by dressing up, a form of demonic possession whether on Halloween or any other day because it results from sinful thoughts. What was the very next thing to pollute Eden after The Fall?

Dressing up.

...blah blah unjustified personal opinion blah deleted...

Still no Scripture, huh?

NO ONE HERE CARES WHAT YOU THINK.

As Bible-obedient True Christians™, these people care what the Bible says, not some 41-year old virgin with a fake beard.

So (AGAIN) if you want to claim that God or Jesus want people to do (or not do) something, Scripture or it didn't happen.

From a recent article in a Christian magazine:

Introduction to the Occult

In America tonight, millions of children will dress up as witches, demons, and goblins and go trick-or-treating. To most of them, the spirit world is all pretend. But according to some experts, what seems like harmless fun is slowly indoctrinating children into New Age occultism.

A new controversy is brewing over a popular children's card game called "Magic: The Gathering." Steve Kosser, a school psychologist in Pound Ridge, New York, explains the serious nature of the game.

"Here's a card that says you're going to drain the life of your opponent, and here's a card specifically called demonic consultation. This is a pentagram in the back, which is a symbol for Satan," he explained. Kosser says the game promotes occultic themes like Satanism, witchcraft, and demon possession.

"This is not a game like chess where you are attacking pieces on a board. This is a game where you're attacking your living, breathing opponent by using devils to conjure demons and cast spells."

And while some people think these occultic themes are only popular at Halloween, in some schools across the country these themes are part of everyday learning. In the New York suburb of Pound Ridge, elementary school students took an overnight field trip to a local graveyard. They also learn about magic and witchcraft in the classroom.

In a lengthy federal lawsuit against the Bedford school district, plaintiffs Ceil Dinozzi and Mary Ann Dibari allege that school officials in their community are promoting New Age occultism.

"I truly believe we are in a spiritual battle for the souls of our children," said Dibari. "That's what we have in the schools, and this is the battlefield."

The battle began when "Magic: The Gathering" became popular at Pound Ridge elementary school two years ago. Teachers made the game part of the curriculum for gifted and talented students. But when some of their children began having nightmares, these two women questioned what was happening at school. The more they probed, the more they found other activities within the curriculum that concerned them.

"Death, dying, necromancy, shamanism -- you name it, it was in there," said Dibari.

The lawsuit lists more than 30 instances where students were exposed to New Age occultism in the classroom. The following were among the most compelling examples:

First, school officials invited a New Age crystal healer and a psychic to speak at the elementary school. Secondly, third graders learned how to tell fortunes and read tarot cards. And the most bizarre example -- for a lesson about evolution, fourth graders took a field trip to a graveyard. Dibari's granddaughter attended that outing.

"She said, 'Well, we were taken in a children's cemetery, and you walk onto the tombs and you lie down on the gravesite to see if you could fit in the little child's coffin,'" recalled Dibari.

In addition to those activities, another fourth grade class had to write a poem entitled, "How God Messed Up." The fifth grade performed various Aztec rituals, including one that conjures up dead spirits. And sixth graders spent three months learning about pagan gods who are central to New Age occultism.

"We've got a case where well-meaning teachers are literally dabbling in occult activities to try to keep their kids interested in what they're studying," said Kosser. "At the same time, they're leading the children toward a greater appreciation of occult stuff."

And as author Berit Kjos warns, this is happening nationwide.

"The schools, the whole process of learning today is taking the children away," saud Kjos. "It's stealing the minds of children and Christian parents are losing the children from coast to coast. The children's loyalties are being turned from the home, from the church, from God, to a whole new ideal."

In her books Brave New Schools and A Twist of Faith, Kjos writes that that new ideal is a new worldview that embraces all religions except Christianity.

"Any parent that is shocked to discover that this stuff is happening in the schools is basically being naive," said Kosser. "The schools exist in the popular culture."

And as Kosser also points out, the popular culture is loaded with examples of the occult packaged to look like harmless fun. For example, children's books like "Goosebumps," the "Magic Tree House," "The Zack Files," and "The Black Cat Club," introduce young readers to topics like vampirism, ESP, and out-of-body experiences. One series called "The Junior Astrologer" entices children to take up astrology.

In television and movies, witchcraft and casting spells look like innocent entertainment to impressionable young viewers. And then there are games like "The Angel Talk" that look wholesome, but encourage players to contact New Age spirits.

It may not look as devilish as "Magic: The Gathering," but the underlying principles are the same. And it's these principles that have experts concerned.

"The more and more the children are desensitized to occultism and to lifestyles that clash with Christianity, the more it's accepted," said Kjos.

And according to Dibari and Dinozzi, that's evident in their community already.

This seems like a good Christian alternative to the demonic "magic the gathering" nonsense.
