The fact that people are trying to pull this "convert their holiday to something else" again in this day in age is what pisses me off.theheroofaction said:This is the thing that finally gets you ticked off?
You waited till now to notice.
The fact that your deities are never displayed as proplerly strong doesn't bother you, but this does.
I just usually defend the US on the Escapist because every other day there's a "Why does America do this?" thread pretty much.DRes82 said:Its not the government forcing anything on you, its just some folks practicing their "freedom of religion bit"Phoenix_XIII said:Let me tell you, I'm done defending the intelligence of this country if no one can follow our own Freedom of Religion bit. .
Don't get me wrong, it sounds completely ridiculous to me. Halloween is easily my favorite holiday.
Also, I'm fairly certain, at least here in my little part of the US that I don't need anyone defending my intelligence.
your talking to someone who would do this.emeraldrafael said:Yeah... churches dont appreciate that. still fun as all hell though XDTrezu said:i wanna go as SATAN and ruin there crappyween

That's hilarious. Even when its Canada doing something asinine, people jump at the states for their punching bag. My brother is in Alberta right now, I should ask him if he's heard about this.The Madman said:Umm, you hate American? According to the article that's Canada, Calgary even, the city where I live. Now obviously Canada is part of North America, but we've gotten kind of used to people meaning good ol' US of A when they say 'Merica!!1!.
And I wouldn't worry, something that silly wont catch on.
You're talkign to someone that seriously walked up to a church during a halloween mass dressed as satan and then boldly proclaimed that all those who did not worship the true lord on his day would be dragged to hell.

Okay. So let me get on the rant now.
I am a Pagan. And I for one find this to be bullshit.
Halloween is a sacred holiday. Pagan New Year, my friends. And this bullshit is what makes me hate America.
Let me tell you, I'm done defending the intelligence of this country if no one can follow our own Freedom of Religion bit. Fucking hell, I can't even think straight right now in regards to this. Someone, please post a better rant. I don't even have words. There ARE no words....
