The War on Halloween will not be won by a round of todger honking

Raymond E. Drake
President
The American Society for the Defense of Tradition, Family and Property

Dear President Drake,

I thoroughly enjoyed your Crusade Magazine interview with Mission America's Linda Harvey. The threat Harry Potter poses to the world's children can't be overstated. The same goes for Halloween. I thought Mrs. Harvey did an incredible job of explaining why the pagan-based holidays of Christmas and Easter are acceptable and that orgy of satanic wickedness we call "Halloween" is not:

People say, “Well, Christmas was a pagan influence originally.” But the difference is that God is in charge of everything, and I believe the original pagan underpinnings of Christmas and Easter have been co-opted by Christianity. But the Lord has left Halloween alone to test us. For some reason God is allowing the work of Satan in the world today, and the devil has co-opted Halloween. On top of that it is becoming an emphasized holiday. It is right behind Christmas as far as decoration, spending, costumes and all the paraphernalia involved. You see houses decorated for Halloween just like a house would be decorated for Christmas, and it makes me shudder because there is nothing holy, honorable or positive about this date. October 31 is the pagans’ highest holiday and we are helping them celebrate it. What a slap in the face to our wonderful God!

I tried co-opting Halloween for Jesus last year. I dressed up like you do when you're protesting the Gay--you know, with the red cape, sash and cute little golden brooch. But it was weird. Big, hairy men kept making me honk their todgers. You might want to rethink those outfits.

It may be a better idea to just have the Holy Virgin stop Halloween the same way She stopped that performance of Jerry Springer: The Opera in Cincinnati. You remember that. She ended the show by causing a storm and power outage.

1. The Lord left Halloween not to test us but because He's in the pocket of
the dental lobby.

2. Well, I, for one, use Halloween
to pass out Atheist tracts, produced by Cute Chick Enterprises. It's all part of my worldwide evangelical crusade to convert little Christians to satanistic atheism. :sarcasm:

3. Halloween
... is not Satanic, as a matter of fact religion has nothing to do with denominations. The word religion comes from 2 latin words: "re" "ligare" meaning, "joining again". In other words the process of the spirit in its journey back to re join the Source...
Nature religions are not satanic ... :dilemma: :dilemma: :dilemma:

5. "The American Society for the Defense of Tradition, Family...
...and PROPERTY"

If only that part of the parody was also a parody. Ah, good ol' fashioned Christian values!

6. Never understood the problem some folks have with Halloween.
Every Ward I've ever been in has had activities of some sort to celebrate on Halloween. If the "crazy Mormons" don't have a problem with it, how crazy must you be in order to hate Halloween?

7. And the "crazy Catholics" in Mexico do the Day of the Dead
Their sprats don't put on Spiderman costumes or any other namby-pamby crap, they go for the hard stuff.



The closest thing to Soviet apparatchiks to ever hold power in this country has been the Fundies. If there's anything that isn't grim, colorless, dessicated, and mean in your life, those fuckers want it banned. To hell. And you with it, preferably.

16. Hallloween is not evil
Halloween is not evil it's part of our culture we have all the things in that same with Christmas and Easter. Whats wrong with having fun? I am a Christian and Bible Believer however, when do you drawl the line when you say Halloween is evil? Nothing is wrong with a little child that dressed like a bumble bee or pumpkin or something cute in that nature.
