Oh and you might want to rethink your Christmas celebrations as well.

What better time than Halloween to terrify children about death, and of course promote your religious beliefs?

And whenever they employ these tactics, another individual or two moves closer to the conclusion, "That's it with this god bullshit," and another liberated atheist is minted.
ReplyDeleteExactly!
DeleteSince xtianity is nothing more than paganism dressed up as a money grubbing power trip for a chosen few, they all need to reboot their scam.
ReplyDeleteSo many of these types in Anchorage, and they get to politicize the pulpit while enjoying their tax-free status from their untaxed "teachers" aid homes.
ReplyDeleteThey don't care about Christ's love, they only want brownie points for conversion (or terrorizing normal, good people with their weaponized faith) with their terrible God.
ReplyDeleteThe mo's discourage tick or treat,but do their Own version of Trunk or treat. What's the difference?
ReplyDeleteYou know if you don't want to participate in pagan celebrations then just keep you door closed, turn of the lights, and simply pray until the joyful voices of the children finally fades away into the darkness.

Except for the praying part, that was me. (ok, I did pray my house wouldn't be TP'd) I forgot to buy candy :(

My son attended a Hell House at a friend's church several years ago. He said there kids as young as five in attendance. It didn't scare him because he's not religious but he said it terrified almost everyone else. Sick fundamentalists! They're gonna scare those kiddies into believing.
ReplyDeleteI always thought Halloween was a Christian holiday. Isn't the name for the evening before All Saints' Day? I assumed that was the reason the schools here don't celebrate it.
ReplyDeleteSome Pagans celebrate Samhain as a New Year. Time to honor the dead and look to the future. It's the last of the Harvest Festivals (there's really nothing very likely to be still standing in the fields by this time of year). In CE 601 Pope Gregory I directed missionaries not to oppose Pagan practices but to co-op them, on the grounds that if people who are polytheistic are celebrating, it's easy to slip in your own beliefs and god as part of that, and eventually, the Pagan practices would dissipate. Samhain became the night before All Hallow's Day, shortened to Hallow's e'en, shortened to Halloween.
DeleteCurrently, some Christians vociferously protest the celebration of Halloween and often arrange "Harvest Festivals" as a means to provide a less Pagan experience, being ignorant of actual Paganism.
As a Pagan, and one who is frequently extremely annoyed with proselytizing Christians, I find it very entertaining that some Christians go out of their way to avoid celebrating a Christian holy day by celebrating what is actually a Pagan holy day.
What's scary is the amount of candy in my house after a cold, drizzly Halloween night produced only 3 costumed visitors.
ReplyDeleteThat will probably shave a few days (weeks, years) off my life span unless I can unload the candy because I certainly do not have a good Christian ability to resist temptation.
Good one! It was drizzling here in mid Michigan also, too.
DeleteI love the concept, scare the hell out of people and swoop in with "the answer" that'll "save" them. Where does it end? The god botherers exploiting the dead and the fear of death. When was the last time you heard of a dead person mugging, stealing, killing, ringing your doorbell on sunday morning,or laughing at a living person? It's the living that can be jerks.
