AS a scholar, i admit sometimes my opinions are jaded (such as the concepts that the words of Christ have been so dilluted by the transcription of man over the centuries that its near impossible for anyone now to suggest that they are following the literal word of Christ<br />Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10653472852932090106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2593723237337670703.post-86695571957169710592013-10-30T12:24:20.024-07:002013-10-30T12:24:20.024-07:00Gabriel, Thank you for your input and additional i...Gabriel, Thank you for your input and additional information. I will do some more research. I primarily wanted to generate conversations around peoples views on Christianity and celebrating Halloween. This is just my family's personal progression.

Halloween, or the original Celtic, Samhain (Salwen) is the Pagan New Year, representing the dying of the living world, and the souls transition through the paths of life. It was coopted by the Chocolate industry in an effort to sell more things. All Hallows Eve, is represented when it is believed that the veil between the world of the living and the dead is at its thinnest, and many cultures believe that at that time you can visit with your dead ancestors and gain their wisdom. Please, please, RESEARCH using legitimate sources before you speak. Normally, in a rage i would suggest something like Remember the old adage. "It is better to close your mouth and be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt." However, the golden rule of our civilization suggests that i should not treat people in a way i do not wish to be treated, so i shall refrain.
