Stupid post. That what I said. I know people that are wiccan. They stand around a bonfire, have a couple drinks, and enjoy each others company. I can think of dumber holidays.

What’s wrong with dressing up and having a little fun as well as some role playing in costume? I respect the thoughts of others and if one does not want to celebrate and/or have their kids not celebrate, it is up to them, but when I see articles like this, all it does is give the left ammo against us and makes us look like a bunch of party poopers and downers.

yep, another puritanical prot with his knickers in a twist. BTW, definition of a puritan: a person with the creeping fear that someone, somewhere is having fun.

A more accurate definition of "Puritans" can be found on Wikipedia:

Puritans

We have purchased many bags of kid bait. We will lure neighborhood children to our front door. And we will have fun doing it.

This author must be a miserable person. He wishes someone would pay that much attention to him to knock on his door or soap his windows.

Ahh, yes, the obligatory anti-Catholic screed mixed into the “they want you to worship demons” post....

Wow, less then 20 posts in, a new record!!

If you do some research on the origins of bobbing for apples and lighted jack-o-lanterns you will soon lose your appreciation for the Halloween holiday.

How about moving to Saudi Arabia?? They’ve banned Valentines too

Just wait a couple of years. The more that Americans reject the true God by celebrating banalities such as Halloween the more that seekers will be deceived into seeking and accepting Islam.

The threat of Harry Potter and Dungeons & Dragons dwarfs the Halloween scandal in magnitude.

Not a fan of the over the top gore stuff some do, but the cutesy kid costumes for the young ones is harmless, imo.

What does the devil have to do with wiccan/Celtic religion? You are thinking of satanism. Wiccans believe in the air, wind and spirit.. missing one im tired. They predated all these other religions and the don’t judge. I made a broom joke once and she just laughed. No spells. Nothing. Its actually very interesting.

I can't. It requires a willful ignorance of the Lord to do things he specifically said not to do.

Pretty much the last thing of my mind is pleasing lefties...
