RCF, when you can write your argument using your own words, I might be willing to debate this with you. Since this is Safe haven, I'll leave it at that.
I'm with Ocean on this. While I'm not much into Halloween myself, and don't really like what it's been turned into, this approach is first of all, not your own, and second, very extreme. It gives Christians an even worse name than many of us already have. You copied the text of what looks like an email forward, but why didn't you copy the links so someone, (whoever that might be), could do their own research into this approach if they actually cared to?
if this was posted somewhere else, i'd say exactly what i thought of this.
but i can restrain myself for now..
Alicia, I agree completely, though once again, I'd respect this stance a lot more if he could at least explain in his own words why he felt this way.
Knew this one was coming. It always does. Lol
Lets party!
Here's a link to what I hope is the full original article.

The only thing I can say is this. Some people just cannot seem to distinguish the literal from the figurative. Everything is literal, plus I would question the sanity of somebody who could see evil in the most harmless things. Really, this argument is kind of old and tired, it's nothing new, and somebody has to drag it out every year. They are usually laughed off as nuts and otherwise made fun of. Merry Christmas!
I am the walrus.
I buried Paul.
So, it's not okay to selebrate Haloween, but it's okay to slap your parrents, call them names, and accuse a church of discrimination when they won't provide you a personal sighted guide and they don't want you or your negative energy at their confrance? hmmm. Yeah, keep preaching it, RCF.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> is all I heard from this post. >>> How obnoxious this is>>> >>> >>>
Yep, all it is is drama and things. I like Halloween and things. I love how people go off about all the ghosts and things. Sometimes it's fun and things, so you need to take that into consideration and things.
you people should really give RCF a break and things, cause, you know, he's just trying to be helpful and things.
Yes and things.
Monsters, devils, witches, oh my!

And if you ask them enough times and enough people do it with the right amount of sincerity, maybe, just maybe, we hope, we wish, they will save us from ourselves, the great and noble invisible magic people who live in the sky and who orchestrate everything that happens in the universe might think of us for a nanosecond before the latest crisis comes to get us, just like yesterday's crisis and the one before that and the one before that. Life is not life unless the fear factor is kept artificially high by inventing newer and bigger and badder crises to which we're all on the brink of utter disaster. But if we wish in the prescribed wishing format to the invisible magic wish granters, maybe, could be, there's a chance, one can hope, one of these days, some day soon, all will be well and all will be well and all manner of things will be well, if in the end they want to, maybe.
Maybe?
Sliver of a chance, if the fates allow, if it is his will, if Ka is with us, one day, soon and very soon.
to the original poster Halloween is one word and has only one w
I think it was a play on the word, judging by the article, or blog post, it came from. The argument was attempted that because it comes from hallow's eve, and ween means to move away from, we're saying to move away from what is holy. Forgetting, of course, that the name of the day wasn't hallow's eve at all, it was all hallow's eve, and that hallow and holy are not the same thing. Also forgetting that all hallow's eve was a holiday long before christianity became popular in the celtic aisles where it began. Forget all of that, and she kinda has a point in the blog post. A really ignorant, stupid point, but a point.
