All about the fish tacos

I've been thinking about this a lot lately.

It seems Halloween has become almost the biggest holiday of the year. We aren't allowed to say "Merry Christmas or mention God anywhere. The most popular shows and books are all about Zombies, Vampires and Witches/Warlocks. And in some of those mass shootings at school, I gotta wonder if the shooters were possessed. :o

How do we stop him? :crazy:

Halloween is highly secularized and has been for a long time; that is why people don't try to PC it. However, you do actually have somewhat a point about Christianity. From what I have been seeing in my Anthropology class, people who are separated from their religious traditions tend to have unhealthy communities. This has and is happening a lot in the remnants of Native American communities. It seems that it is human nature to want to engage in ritual and community practice. Even some atheists recognize this and are making "atheist churches" where they can have a sense of community and ritual. The issue is compounded in America due to our explosive growth of suburbanism and general lack of community. People seem to confuse our tradition of individualism with isolationism.
This is also an example of how government policy can radically change a society. Since after WWII, the government has encouraged Americans to buy houses. The most affordable houses are the mass manufactured ones found in suburbs. So there you go.
Every Republic has its sins, but communism is a joke that is not funny. Get fluoride out of the water!
We both said a lot of things that you are going to regret.

The devil not have omnipresence like God does. So he is not everywhere but there are an unfathomably huge number of demons which serve his purposes.
"Hey dad, I just remembered something from when I was a baby." "Really son? What was it?" "I just remembered I wanted to punch you in the face."

"He was a thief, and a terrorist."On the other hand he had a tremendous singing voice."
"Almost only counts in horseshoes and hand-grenades."
"Mom's just worried they're gonna rip my heart out."

Furthermore it is the individual who opens the doors for demonic influence and gives them power. It is up to each and every one of us to embrace godly precepts in speech, thought and action to drive them away.

Christmas is king when it comes to the holidays. More people do more, spend, decorate and invest more than any other time of the year.

Yeah, people are upping the ante with their costumes, parties, candy and decor.. Etc but no where near the sums that Christmas brings in.

Say "Merry Christmas" to your hearts desire. When it comes to the subject of God and religion. It's like that deal that was around Facebook about Religion and Penises. A penis must be great to have one and be proud of that fact. However, don't just ram it down someone's throat. Unless they want you to.

Unlikely, they had severe mental problems.
