Defending halloween is part of a religious belief system.
If it weren’t part of a religious belief system, people wouldn’t get so emotional about it.
If love of halloween (or fear of standing up to the social pressure to celebrate it) is part of a religious belief system, first have the brains to understand the fact, and then just own it. Don’t pretend it’s not a religion.
How weak is it, that it can’t be claimed openly?
If your belief system is so weak, walk away from it.
Finally, worshipping the dead is not of God. If it’s not of God, then what can you say of it?
Defending Halloween is defending against those that pretend to be religious and would bring back the Salem witch trials book burnings, and the religious Inquisition.
Hypocritical sinners.
If it weren’t part of a religious belief system, people wouldn’t get so emotional about it.
So many people today claim they are slaves for Christ but may only go to Church on Christmas or Easter or to a haloweeen party.
The early Christians, the ones on the day of Pentecost sold what they had and laid the money down at Peters feet, these were the Church , they gave their life to the preaching of Christs gospel.
But todays slaves of Christ will not even listen to the gospel unless they are lured with a candy bar or the promise of some fun.
Which brings to mind some words of Jesus.
Mathew 7;6
Give not that which is holy to dogs; neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest perhaps they trample them under their feet, and turning upon you, they tear you.
Christs word is holy but if people loves man made tratitions
more that they do Christs gospel then it is their problem.
