Re-evaluating Halloween

[Luce NDs]

The fish is religious?

I suppose it read the Bubble.

Red fish, blue fish swimming through the waters of heaven .... higher water MOG (mama)?

Water like the psyche has always had a ephemeral connotation in myth ... the crazy stuff you learn in the water treatment technology ... for honing the dull thing ...

All christians, nay, all religions, are painted with the same brush. Doesn't your neighbour, Mr. Muslim or Mr. Jew, question your christianity? Isn't the goal of a sceptic to question your christianity? I'm sorry, but you lost me there. I was being nothing but charitable. However, if you are not following religious procedure, isn't it my job, or Mr. Muslim's and Mr. Jew's, to call you out on it? Disagreement means you go against god's truth. You have just chosen a different truth, one that you can claim makes you better for having it, even if god doesn't agree. It is the very essence of cafeteria christianity Jae

And it appears God is multifaceted ... and dark as onyx ... the jew*el of eye?

All Hallow's Eve arose from a Celtic tradition of responding to the deaths of members of the community over the previous year. All Saints refers to all deceased members of the Christian family.

It is a kind of recognition that those people and their deaths affected us and an attempt to heal or repair any ways we were or might become harmed by those deaths. A community response to emotional and psychological realities of being human. The witches and demons represent the hurtful parts.

These folk tend to reside in the dark mysterious thing between our ears ... or how would we know?

Oh yes the common were not supposed to know much ... thus if you do ... cover up!

Redeeming Halloweren

 

[Carolla]

I'm not interested in the arguments.

We, along with a few others on our street, are doing ACCESSIBLE Halloween this year. Lawn signs are out We heard a CBC radio interview last week & got on board I live on such a great block! The website link gives thoughtful tips about 'treating' at home to respect & include people of many differing abilities - good to think about.

We had a candy chute down our porch steps during covid that also made our home more accessible. Maybe we'll do that again. The kids loved that the candy slid down a tube into their bags. It's just a chunk of 4 inch pvc pipe, which I clean thoroughly.

Oo, that's a cool idea. You could market that, probably. The Magic Candy Tunnel or something. Make the PVC tube in rainbow colours or something.

Some people are sincerely submitting to God, Pavlos, and yet arrive at different interpretations than me. They may be wrong and I may be wrong too in certain areas. That's why humility matters.

Simply pointing to disagreement's not enough to prove rebellion. The heart issue's whether we're bending Scripture to ourselves or bending ourselves to Scripture. That's a distinction worth making

Can we please get back to candy delivery systems? That's way more interesting than debating what a proper Christian should do.

Two words: Candy Trebuchet.

That would be epic.

To take the head off a good appearance that is actually deceptive about knowing infinite things that aren't as presented ... masked personality disorders?

I'd rather write about them in strange codes to match something or other ... let the ignorance rage as it it were stupid about the truth never coming out.

History evetually analysis everything to death ... why God appears dead when he only refuses to process as if dead like he was burning something ... a sweet smelling barbecue at the temple? You may see smoke coming out the ears ...

So, candy trebuchet.

You could, potentially, make or buy a trebuchet. A trebuchet, being a siege weapon, lobs items on a rather parabolic arc.

You fire some test shots of groups of candy toward your lawn to get a sense of the appropriate range. Then you spray paint a target on the lawn where the highest concentration of candy lands.

Halloween night, you get the trick or treaters to stand in that target, and you launch candy. Bigger group? More candy. Get stuff that won't take out an eye.

You need light. These kids are catching multiply fly balls. Then they are scrambling on the grass. They need to see.

Voila. Fun for everyone. Except the tiny kids and even the bigger ones who can't catch.

THIS is how you re-evaluate Halloween. You re-evaluate how you distribute candy. In this example, make the little bastards earn it.
