Fall's Fright or Heaven's Light—Jack-o-Lanterns as a symbol of salvation (nasty insides as sin)

"No matter what you think of halloween, know that it is the very highest satanic holy day. As a Christian, you should not be observing it in any way, especially IN your church. The catholic church is responsible for this day to be placed in the church."
Much more!
THERE IS NO HATE, MALICE, RACISM, ETC. ON THIS SITE. THESE ARE SINS IN THE EYES OF GOD, AND ARE ALSO DEMONS. THE BIBLE MAKES IT CLEAR THAT SIN CANNOT GET INTO HEAVEN.I guess blaming Catholics for Halloween isn't malice. And interesting for me, with my own childhood religious rules and prejudices, there's a link at the bottom to another page of the author's about "MAKEUP, COSMETICS, AND SKIN CARE PRODUCTS." Halloween's a great time to buy makeup! It's not just a random ad, it's coded into the page.

My favorite bit: "The makers of D&D were trained in euro magic." Geez, it reminds me of Mickey Mouse and France. What are they on about!?
It seemed quiet, because unschoolers have their own places to hang out and discuss life without interface with fundamentalist Christians, and have for years. But this year it was stirred a bit and someone e-mailed this to me. (If it's identifiable, don't name any names. It's a representative sample.)
The "Slippery Slop"
Hello, Sandra! A friend posted your Halloween page, so I wanted to share some of the dire warnings I've received so far this year.
"My 3 year old didn't know what "Spooky" or "Scary" was until her babysitter started going on and on about the Halloween party they are having. She said she has dressed up like a witch for 20 years and isn't going to change. So what should we do?... keep her home that day and not be exposed (this year) to a witch, probably, but we thought that if she has to see a witch eventually she might as well see her babysitter in a costume. People around us every day instill fear in there own children and others. We unfortunately are finding that out first hand. All that and Halloween makes our job as parents that much harder. I guess my parents must have done something right, because like I said, I used to trick or treat and dress up too. I wish we could have a dress up day not associated with All Hollows Eve and Spirits and future telling, but society norms dictate what the masses do. You will probably call me a hypocrite for letting my daughter go to the sitter that day but we are going to try our hardest to teach her what it is and teach her to follow Jesus not the world."I explained that celebrating my son's birthday on June 21st (the summer solstice) does not make us summer solstice pagans just as going trick or treating does not make us devil worshipers:
"If you celebrate [Halloween], you are acknowledging that Oct 31st is a satanic holiday. Just like you celebrating your child's birthday on June 21st acknowledges that it is his birthday, why else would you have cake and ice cream and a party on that particular day. It is a very slippery slop [sic] with children. I too grew up trick or treating and dressing up and didn't turn out to be a satin worshiper. If you give children a good Godly foundation it will help in the future. But after all that you are still celebrating a satanic holiday, no matter what you call it. Just like people saying Happy Holiday's instead of Merry Christmas, it is still Christmas that celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ, just like June 21st is for your son."
AND she used "satin worshiper" in addition to "slippery slop." This is fun, and funny. Eternal hellfire of brimstone must be more frightening to any child than seeing a familiar babysitter in a witch costume. It is not "seeing a witch." ["if she has to see a witch eventually she might as well see her babysitter in a costume."]
Burn any left over halloween stuff in your home. Don't even open your doors to pass out "tracts". If you do, then you are celebrating this unholy day.Really? In which case, those of us who are irritated by anti-Halloween campaigners have a ready-made response. If they try to press a fundamentalist tract into your hand today, just yell: "Keep away from me, inadvertent agent of Satan!"
