(Seriously, some people wouldn't know what fun was if it ran over them.)

The person that wrote that admits that he also used to be a "Vampire". He then admits he used to be a witch high priest too.True vampirism is not a joke, nor is it a ghost story. Christians need to understand that this is a real (albeit uncommon) affliction, just like drug abuse or child abuse. Sadly, it is getting more common. Because of the universal taboos and biblical commands against blood drinking, many newly saved Christians, whose past included vampirism, now struggle with serious issues. "Can I be a Born Again vampire?" "Can God forgive me?" "Will the church ever accept such a monster as I?"
As a former witch high priest now saved by Jesus, I was astonished by how many Christians let their kids celebrate Halloween. Some churches even sponsor "haunted houses" and similar events on what is the Number One satanic "helliday" of the year. Halloween used to be called Samhain, and is still celebrated as an ancient pagan festival of the dead by witches all over the world. Unfortunately, just giving the date a "holy" name like All Hallows' Eve or All Saints' Eve cannot change its grisly character. Halloween is an occasion when the ancient gods (actually demons) are worshiped with human sacrifice. The apostle Paul warns us: "But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have fellowship with devils" (1 Cor. 10:20).

Sorry, just kidding with ya.
The real world is harsh, and many are dumb. That’s it. Many people have not enough intelligence to be tolerant. If we could all get along then anarchy would be ok. We wouldn't need governments, police, religion, etc. because everyone would tolerate everyone else and no one would force their beliefs on others.

leejosepho said:Are you sure? Many people who vehemently insist there is no "God" sure do spend an awful lot of time talking about Him ...
MrFungus420 said:Just because you talk about something, that doesn't mean that you believe in it.
:shock: kind of an eye opener for those who read these. it is really cool that you said that. i agree with anarchy, if we could all get along, since that is not a very realistic thing communism is the next best thing, but if it really works.gdalton said:Because they don't like you or your views.:mrgreen:

democrat17 said:what is with this world and the people not accepting people for who they really are. Christians say that they are supposed to accept everyone, but anyone who isn't a christian is going to hell. they are some of the most hypcritical people i have seen. don't push your religion on those of us who don't want to be a part of it.
democrat17 said:as for vampirism, there is nothing wrong with it, if you want to drink blood and practice sexual acts on others, then go ahead, i don't care.

leejosepho said:What part(s) had you *not* considered harmless?
for your info, i'm not a vampire.walrus said:As for sexual acts, as long as all are consenting adults you have my blessing.
walrus said:With Halloween nigh, I thought it would be interesting to see if there are any strong opinions for or against this holiday. I was amazed many years ago to discover that there are people dead against what I had always considered a mostly harmless celebration.
(I can't wait for Christmas - then I get to unveil my most controversial and hatred-generating opinion of all time, my bias against Santa Claus)
