Thread: Satan holiday?

I to have a religious mother and was kicked out of more christian schools than I can remember. Seems there beliefs could not sustain themselves with my corruptable influince amongst them.

When I encounter these folks I tend to like to have fun as well being raised on the king james bible and having it shoved done my throat for 13 years has given my plenty of knowledge to egg others on. They usually leave me in a huff and never return. This year I have been toying with the idea of setting up an area where they can have there soap box. However, It sounds as if you still live at home and am in no position to create an argumentative enviroment. Being from such an enviroment my advice is to have your fun just dont flaunt it in her face. Especially if she delving deeper or becoming recommited to her choice of religion. You could try to educate her but its doubtful to have a positive effect.

As far as devil worshipping goes I dont have an opinion never meet one probably never will and it has nothing to do with halloween.

The only problem i have with celebrating satans B-day on Halloween is remembering how many candles to put on his cake & if they will all fit......anybody got a few matches....?!

I hate that some religious people project their views unto others. Just because you believe in the devil doesn't mean I do.

I encourage everyone who hasn't done so already to visit the link Larry provided.
People who call Halloween evil or 'of the devil' are showing their ignorance of the facts behind the long, storied and multi-cultural history of this amazing holiday.
Ironically, the most fundamentally driven Christians are the loudest anti-Halloween screamers, yet this very act shows what little faith they have in the God they otherwise think is so all-powerful (to wit, 'S'matter? God's not big and strong enough to take care of things, so you have to help Him with your puny intellect and fear?')... it's ridiculous, and infuriating every time I encounter it.
But you have to laugh it off, which works most of the time. For the more insistent/persistent needlers of 'you're doing the Devil's work', the link Larry gives will get you better answers.
The religious whacko is a constant in the Halloween realm, a perpetual finger in the ribs we all have to deal with at some point. How we do that can help or hurt our reputation as haunters. Be right, but be kind too!

i say make your haunt devil themed =) all joking aside, point them towards the christian "hell houses" or "judgment houses" that are put on every halloween by different christian organizations! these are kits sold to churches and they are some of the most violent, disturbing, outright offensive haunted houses out there. all to "save" their patrons who pay to be force fed salvation, fire and brimstone propaganda.

here's a link to a video of a hell house ad complete with original song.

lets take real serious issues, spin it so the real problem is avoided. say the devil caused it all. include gay marriage, send them to hell. Now we'll tell you basically that this is all ok and/or can be prevented if you accept Jesus into your lives. Yeah, ok. And the graveyard with ghosts and creatures in my haunt have WHAT to do with satan. Their "haunt" is like 11 o'clock news on broadway with satan himself and hell as the main acts.

grrr, the hypocracy always gets me riled up. i'll stop now.

anyway, at least a bunch of actors got together to do a hollywood parody of hell houses using real dialog from many of them. here's a funny video of the different actors depicting satan.
