I wanted to comment as someone who for 35+ years has defended my horror movies, Halloween, saying THE SAME things that so many Christian’s say when defending this upcoming “holiday.” ~Matt Hanna I can't stand Halloween! I was invited to a friend's house a few years ago. They were Christians who are active in the church and were celebrating Halloween. The food was disgusting (on purpose) I remember one thing they cooked looked like a brain. I couldn't eat. Their kids were dressed up in costumes that were "OK". don't remember what. for example, one kid could have been a Sheppard..............things like that. I walked with one of their kids in the neighborhood as he was trick or treating. He was around 5. He approached a house where eerie sounds were coming out of the bushes. He stopped and could not go up to where the neighbor was offering him treats. I told him it's OK, walked up with him, took the treats and left. Why do they have to subject kids to such an atmosphere and fear? What is wrong with people and parents? I also couldn't believe the deliberately disgusting meal these "Christians'" prepared. LaVey’s statement is corroborated by a former Satanist, John Ramirez, who said that when you dress up even as an angel or a mermaid for Halloween, “you give the devil the legal rights to change your identity I know you give the demonic realm a foothold, but "legal rights to change your identity?" Interesting! It has an innocent wrapper around it with the costumes and parties and candy but under the hood is evil. What I heard was that October 31 was the date of the flood and Halloween started as a remembrance of it. As with everything, Satan has twisted it. I haven't done the research to back it up, but I am happy to give out candy to the neighbor kids.
I can’t in good conscience defend my old movie choices or this holiday for what it stands for today. God has changed my heart BIG time on this.
Anton LaVey who wrote the satanic Bible, and founded the satanic church who was quoted below in the photo says everything a Christian should need to know here to stop the crap.
LaVey’s statement is corroborated by a former Satanist, John Ramirez, who said that when you dress up even as an angel or a mermaid for Halloween, “you give the devil the legal rights to change your identity.” Ramirez further warned that there’s a much darker reality in Halloween beyond costumes and candy.
There are so many sources for this stuff. Rituals are performed on these nights because they are spiritually charged. Witches, warlocks, Satanists, sacrifice kids on this night.
Halloween did not start with Christian’s. It was never a Christian holiday. If you trace it’s roots back you can easily see it was a Celtic ritual day called Samhain. Let’s not get it twisted folks. This was 500 years B.C. So sorry *buzzer* not a Christian holiday never was, never should be. Catholics tried to change it around 300 A.D.
If we’re gonna defend a terrible position let’s at least read up and get some knowledge before letting your feelings loose.
I just gotta say I’m shocked at how important Halloween seems to everyone. It’s like there’s a spirit of the enemy making y’all mad and trying to defend that day..
Gee I wonder why…
Why would this be such a big one where Christian’s get heated and defensive over? It seems so much easier to not be a part of Samhain in any facet. I think you’ll survive one day a year not actively celebrating this particular day.
