Hi Mark,

Do I think little kids having fun getting treats and dressing up will have them spitting pea soup in the movies later... no.
Do I think Halloween is evil. Yes.
A good or bad tree is known by the fruit that it bears.
Halloween and gate night in the city where I work is a freak show.
Law enforcement strength is doubled to handle the excess work load. Frequently kids are assaulted while trick or treating. The drunks dressed up like clowns or ghouls (how fitting) are either pounding on each other or driving because they're too innebriated to walk. Everybody is wearing a mask which fits right in with the opportune time for robberies. Four young girls waiting at a bus depot were chased around by some freaks in the costume from the movie Scream waving genuine butcher knives.
What is good about a holiday thats very origins were evil and today basically glorifies everything ugly and evil?
The make up was terrific last night... saw several people with very realistic gaping throat slash wounds. The majority utilized copious quantities of blood in their costumes. A great deal of it was real by the end of the night. Good clean fun?
Or we could talk about what is reported that hard core Satanist's do on this high holiday of theirs. Even if no one believes in anything they claim or Christians claim regarding the devil, they believe it.
They practise it. The claims of black mass human sacrifices occurring world wide have been written about and reported by the media.
Yes, I hate Halloween.
John

Mark,

This Halloween I saw something much different. There are many parts of me that I'd rather do without, that manufacture all sorts of phantom fears and blocks, in a completely unnecessary fashion. And yet I am reluctant to let them go. Watching the trick-or-treaters this time, I realized that all of those parts are merely children within, playing make believe. One can either believe in them, or pat them on the head, and kindly send them on their way. I do not know if there is such a thing as a 'monster', but there certainly doesn't need to be. People will manufacture their own, from anything, including the Bible. If we could all get it out of our system on Halloween...
