God hates Halloween
so, there is no way there hasn't been a thread about this already, but....
I got into a discussion over in another forum about why there is a decline in the practice of trick-or-treating. I said that I felt that it was b/c, over the past ten years or so, I seem to have noticed the religious right is attempting to ban Halloween. most of the churches around here preach against Halloween (as in, telling parents not to let their children participate). and if they don't do that, they at least offer a kind of "Halloween Alternative" like a Fall Festival or something, minus scary costumes or haunted houses or anything even remotely devilish. some, as I'm sure some of you know, offer "Christian Haunted Houses" (see the documentary "Hell House"), whose basic purpose is to try and scare folks into accepting Christianity as their main spiritual focus. In fact, just yesterday I had a bus (a bus!) pull into my apartment complex and dropped off about 2 dozen "young adults" armed with pamphlets detailing the supposed inherent evil of my favorite holiday, Halloween. Now, I'm not a complete idiot. I am familiar with the pagan origins of Halloween (not that I give a shit).... but I am also just as familiar with the pagan origins of Christmas and Easter. so, what I'm asking is this: do you think the decline in trick-or-treating is to be blamed on the right-wingers? or have you not really noticed any sort of decline? or do you just want to comment on this silliness?

My opinion?...If they don't like it, they don't have to participate...They can stay home, NOT dress up, NOT trick-or-treat, they can even go to church if they want to...
BUT...They need to leave the REST of us the hell alone.....I'm not going to THEIR houses and telling them why I think they SHOULD do the 'Halloween Thing'...And they should AT LEAST have the same respect for ME... ANY form of pushing yourself, your beliefs, and whatever else on other people, just makes a person an asshole.....That's MY opinion...

9/10 times, if they have pamphlets, then they're gonna try and push a bunch of bullshit on you.

Okay so I was in Walmart (despite the court order) and was surprised that the Christmas stuff had already been put on display IN WITH THE HALLOWEEN crap! I remember when Halloween was halloween and Santa wasnt sticking his nose up its ass.... HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE CHRISTIANS TO SHOP!!!! Xmas has become a beast that cannot be fed taking up more and more of the calendar for itself, pretty soon youll be able to sit on santas lap AND the easter bunnnies in the SAME FUCKING TRIP!

I dunno if its like this where y'all live, but the curfew for trick or treating is 8 o'clock now.
How lame is it being a kid and wearing your spooky devil costume at 7 o'clock?? That's... that's fuckin DUSK! (or an hour afterwards) I'm just glad I got to celebrate it in my heyday.
