Christians and ToTing?
« on: October 30, 2006, 04:00:25 pm »
So some relatives of mine have decided to forgoe all halloween related activities in favor of, rather than in addition to, a church run harvest festival. It boggles the mind that anyone actualy think Halloween and All Hallows Eve have anything besides a date in common at this point. Much like thanksgiving and valentines day, american megacorps have mutated these once significant religous holidays into celebrations of capitalism. So i ask, where is the harm in dressing up in a costume and getting some candy?

I was never allowed to go trick or treating as a kid.  I do see why; there are a lot of bad things associated with All Hallows Eve, and Satanists DO participate in much illegal activity on Halloween, such as the sacrificing of human beings.  That said, I remain fascinated with this time of the year because it's when the veil between our physical world and the spirit world it at it's thinnest.  Then again, I like playing with fire too.  Still, I love this time of the year.

I'm going for the candy. It's fine for me as long as I'm not doing any cult-related stuff.

No one does that except a small minority of the worlds nutjobs, and teenagers who didnt have good parents.

ToTing isnt dangerous, you are more likely to die in car accident than from bad candy.

I wish christians would learn to respect the beliefs of others and not try and foist their superstitions on non-christians. Go worship your god, practice your faith, etc, but keep me out of it please.

*sigh* must you always add religion into everything?

Maybe she doesn't put religion into Halloween, maybe its just her personal preference. And Christians do not try to shove "religion down your throat".

That would be a Catholic, which just so happens MSP is..

I don't trick or treat anymore, but I do give out candy. It's safe, unlike some crap I've heard.

I am a Catholic, so shut your mouths. Unlike alot of Catholics, I keep my politics away from my religion.

Halloween has lost its signifigance as the demonic day it once was. So, trick-or-treating is OK.

For your information, I am NOT christian. And by saying that it is an insult to MY religion. Which is Final Fantasy and Anime based mixed with Buddism, it has no real name and can have any 'god' you wish.

But that has no reason as to WHY I do not like All-Hallows-Eve....I said it is dangerous out of experience down MY NEIGHBOURHOOD.
3 kids got MUGGED last year, the year before someone trick-or-treating got hit by a car....and just today someone got arrested for beating up a young kid who was trick-or-treating with his friends.
