Thoughts and Prayers: The Religion Thread

"[C]hurches literally said 'we need to get in on this halloween thing' ..."

Ummmm.

 

Don’t know that there’s much if any overlap on “Judgement House” churches and “All Saints Day” churches. I didn’t even know there were Protestant churches doing All Saints until I was in my 40s.

 

Oh I'm not talking about the "Judgement House" nonsense. Just the stated notion that "churches" only recently decided to "get in on this halloween thing" ...

 

That’s what I was kind of getting at though. There are many congregants in fundamentalist and conservative evangelical churches who I doubt even know Halloween is an offshoot of a Christian holiday. The only way I really heard about ASD growing up was because I was a New Orleans Saints fan and the franchise was awarded on Nov. 1.

 

Ah, OK.

 

You had to ask?

 

I do not label myself 'Christian', btw - I am simply a follower of the dictates of Christ.

 

Does Jesus smoke a carton of Camels, and then just turn the ashes back into tobacco for the next day? And if that's the case, is the halo around his head in all the paintings actually just a smoke ring?

Makes Frankincense to me.

 

Accountability and repentance for thee, financial protection for me.
