. And it is for Christ's sake that Christians really shouldn't participate. But for you pagans . . . party away!
Neither of you interpreted, correctly, my response to "Blurbloggers" Halloween Satanist Terror Alert. At the religious level, Christianity chased out the pagans, as a practiced religion, over a thousand years ago. You "Christians" have nothing to fear of the ancient superstition. As for it being my "special day", it's not. However, I do know the history of this cultural New Years that was practiced long before the Pope made New Years to be on January 1st. Before that, it was a celebration of the harvest, not the devil!
Since those of you who ventured to (gasp!) chance the sin of replying to my sarcasm regarding Blurbloggers ridiculous warning, I'll let you in on another heresy. I don't belive in the Devil, be it Satin, Ol' Nick or by what ever name you want to call the various mental handicaps and illnesses that plague mankind, from just plain ignorance, to the pathology of serial killers and mass murdering dictators. In other words, Stalin and Hitler are not on record as having engaged in the celebration of Halloween, but oh, I'll bet they stopped it in Russia and Germany had it been a holiday in their respective countries.
As I first said, for Christ's sake (and I do mean to the good health of Christianity), leave the little kids to their night of innocent, adult supervised fun. Let them experience that, with faith in their hearts, all these ghosts and goblins are nothing to be feared. I may not be afraid of the devil, but, OTOH, "Blurblogger" really does scare me.
If you're scared by it, we're doing something right. :o)
