Unfortunate the legends that have grown around All Saints, but believers have reason to remember the enemy who wishes to destroy them. The newest theory of contiguous dimensional worlds leaves lots of space.. whole worlds, in fact, for demons. You should become famliar with this well-reasoned and well analyzed view of those higher worlds.
Edwin Abbott wrote 'Flatland ' so that any logical person would understand that contiguous dimensional worlds allows any thinking person to geometrically know how Christianity's' spiritual world could be right beside ours. Now 'Techie Worlds' examines Christian phenomena: Trinity, Resurrection, Judgment, Soul, and finds that Abbott's concept provides mechanistically for those phenomena. This is the approach science uses: establish understandings of the real world by testing facts in the context of the theory. With such logical understandings, thinking people can accept Christianity's teaching of love without bending their intellectual integrity. 'Techie Worlds' gives pause to Moslems and pagans by showing how and why the Trinity is. It explains realities that profit all mankind.
It is so nice to be able to spread the word to people who want to learn important new views. 'Techie Worlds' is available at amazon.com. It completely reformats all discussions about God and where He is.

My child's nursery has just informed me that they will be holding an "orange and black party" and have decided to omit the word Hallowe'en from the proceedings.

I hit the roof, complained to the management who are only too keen to celebrate Eid, or Diwali, or Passover, so why the ban on Hallowe'en?

I was told that it is "paganistic" (bearing in mind the management of a nursery school might not be au fait with the English language) and was generally given pithy excuses and told that many nursery schools have adopted the same stance.

So I fully intend to dress my daughter in a bright orange t-shirt that reads HAPPY HALLOWEEN and ensures that her right to celebrate is not impeded by daft PC whims from a tiny minority of hysterical idiots.

Well Anonymous, I'd suggest that teaching a respectful knocking on doors not only helps build a healthy respect for strangers (the elderly included), but might also help turn some of those strangers into "nice members of the local community" which is so missing in our generally crap society. My elderly gran had her message boards spammed when she refused to respond to anonymous posters last October 31st and we all know how all anonymous posters will all act the same and hold the same values, so nah nah to you.

I went to a Samhain bonfire last year. I'll have to see if my friend is doing that again this season. It was a small group, but she served up mummy wrapped hotdogs and other spooky treats for all of us. It was a fun night.

Hi there

as responsible parents we tell our kids not to talk to strangers and to have respect for the elderly. So how does saying to kids it's OK to go knocking on strangers doors on Oct 31st stack up? My elderly gran had her front door egged when she refused to answer it to teenagers last October 31st. Sorry. Celebrate the light side of life by all means and have a party but leave dressing up as nightmare characters out of it

I seems to me that history shows how belief in religion is also a "slippery slope" that "opens doors for sinister things".

It's a case of seeing the mote in the other's eye and not the beam in one's own.

Still, it's good that they have been tempted to acknowledge their superstitious beliefs in public.

There is a counter-petition here :

http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/satanic_rights/index.html

On the grounds that Mr. Campbell’s petition is illegal under Article 9 of the Human Rights Act 1998. The Word of God is not enforceable under UK law, but thankfully the Human Rights Act is.

And to think, ever since I've been an adult, I've been dismissing about Halloween being a overly commercial American re-import which has no relevance in this day and age. Suddenly the Christians have made it sound like a whole lot of fun again!

Trick or treat anyone?
