"Come, shall we go and kill us venison? And yet it irks me the poor dappled fools, Being native burghers of this desert city, Should in their own confines with forked heads Have their round haunches gored."
Was against Halloween Would ridicule and shun members that went to Disney World/Universal Studios Would berate people for watching ABC television programming
But was ok with having an Easter egg hunt on church property. I called him out on that one. lol He was sputtering like Sylvestor the cat.
Deacons overruled him on us having a Trunk Or Treat parking lot alternative to door to door and parties.
Deacons sat his squirrelly ass down and told him like it was. Dude didnt even have a seminary, was a truck stop screamer we picked up. Dumped him after two years of him cattle shuting kids thru coerced Baptisms at VBS.
If they truly believed, Christians would never celebrate anything. They'd live their entire lives in masochistic self-denial, sacrifice, and suffering to be worthy of the infinite rewards they expect when they're dead. Enjoying anything repudiates their faith.

We "Christians" celebrate other holidays with pagan origin. What' wrong with one more? Sol Invictus became Christmas, the pagan fertility festival was co-opted for Easter. What's the harm? And if it is harmful maybe Christmas and Easter need to go.

Jesus himself addressed this when he pointed out that John was criticized for living a life of self denial and he Jesus was criticized for drinking and eating. I think Jesus was very social, not self denying, and enjoyed eating and drinking.
Patriotism (and religion) is the last refuge of a scoundrel.
This video is geared towards believers. Unbelievers can (and do) do anything they want. There are no rules. As a believer, can anyone name something Godly about halloween?
Or Valentine's Day, or Ground Hog Day, or a birthday, or President's Day. What is the problem that a Christian would have unless you're into witchcraft or Satan worship? For the record, I do not participate in Halloween.
