Atheist Questions the Practice of Halloween...

It never ceases to amaze me that most Christians would criticize me for being an atheist, yet they will "celebrate" a macabre pagan holiday. They inculcate their children into the practice of it and feed them the most unhealthful things you could give a child to eat.

Likewise, many atheists criticize me for being a "right-winger." Most atheists are so caught up in their polemics, they have become nothing more than anti-Christians - or what I call the Religious Left (a collaboration of the Marxist religion, neo-pagan animal/tree/earth worshipper eco-fascists and general technophobes).

Why do you "celebrate" on certain "holidays," what are you celebrating, do you really know? Or have you been so lost in the conformity of it all to really take a look at what you partake in?

One of my kids dressed as a leopard, another as a penguin, and my oldest went as a baby. Tell me how evil these costumes were? Get a life and let children have some fun. You probably think the Salem witch trials were a great idea.

This has more to do with the increase in complex carbohydrates such as pasta. Many people are increasing their intake of pasta as part of a low fat diet yet they get fatter and as you say diabetic. Any correlation there?

I like my steak rare.

Ever listen to The Savage Nation?

I like my steak rare as well. Never had any problems with my weight or finding girlfriends. :)

The what?

Or a cartoon...

There is more intellegence in cartoons than you would give credit for. Too bad you will miss those wonderful masterpeices. What would life be without splashes of art for color.

Your discourse with me proves the cartoon correct.

This girl prefers men with a sense of humor. Unless you can sing the theme to Spung Bob, forget it.

I have not read all the thread, so if it has not been said, "get a life!"

"This girl prefers men with a sense of humor."

This is not the place for my totally tasteless jokes. Who is Spung Bob? (I don't watch television.) Singing? I like country, blues, heavy rock and KPIG is my favorite music radio station. Give 'em an oink at www.kpig.com You can be a cyber swine and listen over the internet.

…Benjamin Franklin, the American Deputy Postmaster-General, guest at West Wycombe. He wrote: "I am in this house as much at my ease as if it was my own, and the gardens are a paradise. But a pleasanter thing is the kind countenance, the facetious and very intelligent conversation of Mine Host, who, having been for many years engaged in public affairs, seen all parts of Europe, and kept the best company in the world, is himself the best existing." "…the exquisite sense of classical design, charmingly reproduced by the Lord Le Despenser at West Wycombe, whimsical and puzzling as it may sometimes be in its imagery, is as evident below the earth as above it." With Benjamin Franklin, Dashwood produced a revised edition of the Book of Common Prayer for the Church of England, entitled The Franklin Prayer Book, omitting all readings from the Old Testament, which became popular in America – but was rejected by the British Bishops.

See, you just made my point; do you recite your kids(if you have any) the same garbage you just send to me? THIS is the stuff you are teaching your kids? You must be a very, very sick person and I do feel sorry for you.
You know, the other day I had this dude at my dealership calling his son SIR. I thought it was a joke, but come to find out, that the guy was dead serious. It floored me, when I first found out, so your position on this matter must be real.
You allways get your assorted nutcases out there and it looks like you are one of them!

Let me tell you something, you need to get a life...period.

Don't forget Reformation Day

For those of you who don't know, Reformation Day is observed by many Lutherans (and Protestants in general) as the day when Martin Luther nailed his famous 95 Theses to the church door in Wittenberg, Germany on October 31, 1517.

What's the matter? Don't like Ben Franklin?
