I know I am commenting on an old thread, however, I couldn't keep my opinion to myself after reading the religious bull-pucky that is already posted. In response to "the old lady is not crazy" My body is going to be here forever because when I die I am going to be BURIED in the earth, where I came from. I feel sorry for all you people who believe something is actually going to continue after you are DEAD. Flippin ridiculous. Keep your GOD DAMNED RELIGIOUS OPINIONS TO YOURSELF. I wish I was there, I would have kicked her in the face for the fun of it..

you ever notice when there is one Tread, every one else posts on them. its like a desert, and there is only one oasis every three hundred square miles. -beerbongdjw88

LOL im stoned

This is totally Exeter, brilliant

It's sad to see so many folks trying to disparage what is. You don't believe? Fine, then let those that do believe and
allow that do. Simple.

is that exeter! i saw her with a sign saying crisps rot your teeth, she is ace

Paganism is not evil. Just because your god is a self-admitted jealous god and because your religion preaches that worshiping anything but him is inherently evil doesn't make it so. Pagans have a different way of seeing the world, but we (or most of us, since paganism is such a broad term I can't speak for all pagans) still believe in living good lives, not harming others for the sake of harming them. And we don't stuff our religion down other people's throats, which is better than a lot of people can say. As for All Hallows Eve, that is a Christian holiday, or rather a Christian perversion of a pagan holiday, but pagans have different names for it, such as Samhain. Samhain does not glorify evil, all it does is honor and respect the dead.
If you're going to call All Hallow's Eve pagan, you might as well call Christmas and Easter pagan too. There were pagan holidays about rebirth and renewal near the winter solstice long before Christianity existed, and there were pagan holidays in the spring about gods dying and later being reborn long before Christianity existed.
Do your research before you tell us to do ours.

Holy cow. It's just Halloween people! It's not about pagan whatever anymore it's about little kids running around, playing dress up, and getting some candy! Who doesn't like candy?! Or dress up?!

shes crazy for displaying her beliefs? if it was someone supporting any other religion but christianity itd be fine.. its called freedom of speech.. how many of you would spend the time doing that for something you believed in? its called faith and she has a lot to sit there and take crap from idiots like you

@Leslie:

Okay, I just looked around me, looked at my life, looked at my friends, concerned that I might have let Halloween "let the demons out." But everything here's doing fine, Halloween notwithstanding. Enjoyed having all the little Darth Vaders, Harry Potters, Pocahontases, skeletons, hoboes, cowboys, princesses and all the others coming up the front walk. Our devil's holiday was quite a lot of fun, thanks.

Here's an idea -- look at your own life and your own friends and try to figure out why you're so concerned about other people having fun.

Oh, and lots of things are still important, too, btw, Halloween didn't change that either. Love, friendships, building a stronger community, free expression, equality... Halloween doesn't seem to have had an adverse effect at all.

Were these demons wearing balaclavas..?

You have to admire her creativity in finding new angles (NOT angels!) from which to push her religion down people's necks...at her age too. Just evidence that bible-bashers NEVER give up and suffer from an incurable brain disorder. THAT's why we need to outlaw ALL religion and jail those that insist on clinging to their dangerous beliefs.

Well, maybe - but not as nasty as zombies!!!

I'm pretty sure i've met this lady. She had a garbage bag full hand-written, seven-page letters (assuming they were all the same to the one i got) explaining how anything besides classical music was the devil's work, as were ALL video games, fantasy novels (harry potter) and, my personal favorite "Dragons and Dungeons."

All this because she saw my friend carrying around his guitar and assumed he was playing devil music. Son of a pastor, he was.

Crazy shit.

This lady is far from crazy. It is NOT a bit of harmless fun. If you allow the dark side in, you've got a serious problem. Its not called the dark for nothing. However there is a way the deliverance in the name of Jesus and by blood of Jesus.

the old lady is not crazy, she is absolutely right. people are so led astray nowadays, they call the believers crazy. I wish you reconsider your way of living, realize that your body is not going to be here forever, ask yourself why you are here? no answer? then give yourself a second chance by reconsidering your spirituality, religion, whatever you want to call it..

She is not a crazy old lady. She speaks the truth. Halloween glorifies evil. If you look back on history and discover the meaning, all hallows eve is a pagan holiday. When one glorifies evil and celebrates the devil's holiday, then of course one invites demons in. Once a person becomes desensitized to these things, little by little nothing is important. Look around you. Look at your life. Look at your friends. It's true.

I pray you find God.
God bless you =)

Way to go standing up for your beliefs!
