Some people are simply the sworn enemies of fun.

Perhaps you are having trouble reading. The point of the article is that "halloween" is forbidden by Jewish Law. Just as Xmas and e@ster are. This is a matter of Halakhah and has nothing to do with "old fogies."

Why don't you think that Jewish holidays can be fun?

Once again, this is a matter of Jewish Law, not political prejudice. The holidays and rituals of all other religions are forbidden to Jews (and to Noachides too, actually).

It's Halloween, let's all idol-worship tonight

Next Tuesday is Election Day, let all Romney voters -- people voting for a temple Mormon who portends to be a competing "god" to THE God, sanction idol worship by voting for a guy who thinks he's a "god-in-embryo!"

"...Though Halloween in America has been secularized and commercialized to the point where it is now a frivolous time of costumes, candy, and pranks..."

But obviously, there ARE people who will completely go off the deep end on this, instead of understanding the difference between THIS description above and people who celebrate it as a religious holiday, even though the VAST majority of people, especially in the USA don't even know it is religious, and there is nothing underlying the activities that would even make someone think it is religious.

In this case, it seems puzzling because the author doesn't seem to be able to (or want to) differentiate between the two, even though he spells out the difference.

Oh, well.

I’ve had it up to here (pointing 2 feet over my head) with these brain damaged anti-mormon bigots!

Of course Jewish holidays could be fun, but not for a polluted - inferior - Christian, because I am not invited.

Once again, Jewish Law forbids Jews adopting the religions, rituals, and holidays of other peoples. This is a matter of LAW, not personal opinion.

Regardless of whether "halloween" is religious or not, it is still chuqqat hagoyim and is still forbidden.

Although most people don't know it, Noachide Law also forbids creating new religions or holidays, so such observations as "halloween" are forbidden to non-Jews as well.

They will have to clean up the moral pollution of our city 'culture' fearlessly and without regard for the outcry that will follow. If we do not drag our youth out of the morass of their present environment they will be engulfed by it. Those people who do not want to see these things are deliberately encouraging them and are guilty of spreading the effects of prostitution to the future--for the future belongs to our young generation. This process of cleansing our 'Kultur' will have to be applied in practically all spheres. The stage, art, literature, the cinema, the Press and advertisement posters, all must have the stains of pollution removed and be placed in the service of a national and cultural idea. The life of the people must be freed from the asphyxiating perfume of our modern eroticism and also from every unmanly and prudish form of insincerity. In all these things the aim and the method must be determined by thoughtful consideration for the preservation of our national well-being in body and soul. The right to personal freedom comes second in importance to the duty of maintaining the race.

Since chrstianity in every form is a false, idolatrous religion, it is an unfortunate fact that there have been very few US Presidential candidates who weren't idolators. And the few exceptions (atheists) have been worse.

But without Jesus as their Lord and Savior, they will meet him as Sovereign and it wont matter what tribe they’re from or what laws they tried not to break.

I pray they come to the knowledge of that saving grace of Jesus Christ and choose Him.
Amen.

Since Chr*st is a false "gxd," what is wrong with that?

It is forbidden to utter the names of false "gxds."
