I'm talking about the effort that was placed into the decorations and whatnot outside and inside the houses.<BR/><BR/>Now, it's so kiddy that adults such as myself don't feel like celebrating it anymore. Thank you, Christian zealotry, for ruining my favorite holiday. <BR/><BR/>I still remember going out, dressed as an undead soldier, and scaring the crap out of little kids. And adults. <BR/><BR/>And still, this year I intend to go out, dressed in all black airsoft gear, and scare more people in town.<BR/><BR/>My parents TRIED to stop me from going out when I was younger, but those Lutherans are strong in principle, weak in practice.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5139173408957779354.post-87672448101703775932007-10-15T09:11:00.000+10:002007-10-15T09:11:00.000+10:00Yes of course T&A I agree....shows how fragile the...Yes of course T&A I agree....shows how fragile their faith really is - christians who don't allow their kids to go to a school dances ..and be with their friends, have a bit of fun etc.<BR/><BR/> I am amazed to read Mothy's post - things like that are happening in this day & age..in Aust. Must mean there are a shit load of xians with these kinds of belief systems - so much for the 'liberal' xian being the mainstream! (this attitude is pretty backward!) <BR/><BR/>I also think part of it is 'seperatism'.. that xian parents don't want their kids to be with non xians to socialise or pick up 'bad habits' like having fun & freedom. <BR/>Yep...kids learn a lot from their peers...<BR/><BR/> I doubt the agenda of any school dance is to 'educate' kids about the origins of Halloween...to me Mothy sounds like he is just using it as a theme..not some 'atheist' big deal thing. So yeah..i see it as some xian parents beliefs about parenting. The stuff xian kids are exposed to (guilt, sin, satan, possession, all that supernatural shit)...is far more 'frightening' to a kid that some blown up ballons and masks.<BR/><BR/>... what do xians kids usually do on a friday night - but go to xian youth group. ? *sarcasm* I remember being a kid & seeing kids cry and pour out their hearts in those places... <BR/><BR/>Happy Halloween to you!...its mainly an American custom that's taken off here quite recently.
