from the article posted here by ZC In other words, my son, thank G-d, is growing up to be a Jew without any foreign Xtian pollution, and without the schizophrenia of observing the holidays of gentile countries and cultures in foreign gentile lands.

Sadly, articles like these destroy Jewish-Christian relations and play into the false image of them saying " Xtian pollution," -- articles like this serve no purpose except to drive a wedge.

...without the schizophrenia of observing the holidays of gentile countries and cultures in foreign gentile lands...

Well, there's a saying among some religious Jews: "Better to live in a land of true goyim than to live in a land of Jewish goyim."

There are times when I think that if a Muslim wanted to run a false-flag operation to create discord between Christians and Jews, he would be hard-pressed doing a better job than we see here.

While the original author of the text is clearly a vile individual in a number of ways, the article is also more than a bit silly.

The objection seems to be that Hallowe'en is "idol worship" because it is connected to the original Christian practice of veneration of the saints.

If the author believes himself to be an Orthodox Jew, then he is part of a tradition that venerates the sages.

The Christian veneration of saints is nothing other than a continuation of the traditional Jewish practice of venerating the relics and tombs and memory of the prophets and the sages.

The only distinction is that Orthodox Jews and Orthodox Christians disagree on which individuals should be venerated.

If a Christian is an idolater for visiting Lourdes, a Jew is an idolater for visting the grave of the Baal Shem Tov.
