Like all Christian traditions Halloween is a mixture a pagan ritual and Christian theology. That would also explain why it is celebrated on every continent on earth but only in Christian nations.
Besides, you've never heard of churches selling carving pumpkins as a fundraiser? :confused:
Thanks kid, you are the ones that made it harder for my friends and I took go trick-or-treating when we were little.Quote:

What the fuck are you even doing on a messageboard, you should probably be in school.
Don't listen to MastaChronic. He's just a punk kid talking tough and besides, looks like the big mouth is banned now. :thumbsup:
Back to the topic though, this Christian Halloween thing sounds a bit much. Sounds like they just want to scare evil right out of them.
Not for me. I love heavy music and I can't way to go to hell! At least I'm be warm. ;)
As a fan of heavy music and at one time a "practicing" Christian, I went to many of these type ordeals. A lot of the Christian music was much heavier than what the local hardcorde kids think they are rockin.Quote:

Then next room would be set up like an ER room where a person in the car is dying. Next room you are in Heaven at the gates, a few peoples named are "found in the book" and the others are sent to the "hell room."
Most work like that I have been two with different scenarios played out. They aren't really supposed to be a "horror house." Christians aren't typically supposed to be celebrating Halloween and for the ones that don't, this gives them something to do on Halloween like everyone else is doing.
Thank god someone finally said it.Quote:

It doesn't suprise me. They've been doing this shit for years. The Christian pigs have nothing better to do than attack anything that believes differently than them.
They aren't "attacking" anything with these house/park setups. Most eveyone who goes to one does so knowing what they are all about.Quote:

No offense but your outlook on it and blanket statements reguarding Christian "pigs" is ironically as close minded as the Christians who think I (and you) will go to hell for toking.
How the fuck arn't they attacking people/things with these stupid shows? They obviously attack Heavy Metal, video games, Abortion supporters, homosexuals, pagans, and of course the fellow stoner in these shows.Quote:

and you're against christians for being different?Quote:

You're being just as closed-minded to christians as you accuse them of being, and that's just the truth. You attack christians for attacking subjects, what makes you so much more enlightened than them?
Just because someone believes different than you doesn't make them wrong, but treating their belief as wrong or inferior DEFINITELY makes you wrong. If you didn't want to see what christians believe, then you probably didn't have any business being in there. That's like going to church and getting pissed at the guy in the front talking about God for an hour. You had to see it coming.
What the fuck are you talking about? It's terrible to frown upon a group of people who openly believe that they're way is the only? It's the only damn religion that teaches you to try to spread your religion, and look down on those who arn't. I find it pathetic how everyone wants to defend such an ignorant, offensive religion.Quote:

They're morals, values and beliefs have been implemented into society as a whole. Whether it be at the workplace, grocery store, or even a school! You'll find collision when anyone hears the word "athiest", "Muslim", or "Pagan" come from anyones mouth. People are outcasted in this country, and most others, for the sole fact that they don't support christianity.
