Halloween hypocrites
First off, let me say that I am not challenging anyone's decision to participate or not participate in Halloween activities. Everyone has that right. This is merely a question meant to invoke conversation. Now I am posting this in response to all of the "Halloween" threads throughout GC.
So for all of the people that are against any sort of participation for Halloween due to religious type reasons only, here is my question to you:
Do you go to see scary movies where you know that demons or evil spirits/people will possess and/or kill someone? And if so, do you enjoy the movie even more when said killing scares you almost to death? Well my question is, if you do the above, then how is that any less hypocritical, as far as religion is concerned, than dressing up in scary costumes, trick-or-treating, visiting haunted houses, etc. for one day? If you do not see scary movies for the same reasons you do not participate on Halloween, then I applaud you for sticking to your convictions.
