Fuck Halloween. I'm resentful because I was never allowed to go trick or treating as a kid.

Nope but nice attempt at a political jab though 

I have a kid who was born on Halloween. Ken Ham will never ruin for it me. Lol

Yep it should have a disclaimer "This Dino Salvation message brought to you by dead trees. And Jeeeeebus!"

College students seem to have more of an issue with Halloween these days than the average Christian does.

But sorry, you're right. That isn't the only thing the three are united on. Those three religions are also all in agreement that there should be no scantily clad sexy ladies in tv commercials. So not only are they anti-fun holidays, they are anti-boobs on top of it.

Quote:In a new blog post, Ham said all of those trick-or-treaters coming to the door on Oct. 31 provided “a fantastic opportunity to share the saving gospel with your friends and neighbors.”

Ham’s message was actually a sales pitch for his organization’s “Halloween Learn & Share Kits,” which include religious pamphlets as well as fake money with Bible messages that are intended to be given out to candy-seeking children:



The fake million-dollar bills come with either a picture of a dinosaur or Noah’s Ark on the front, with ominous warnings of damnation on the reverse side.

“Try ‘reverse-trick-or-treating’ when you bring a basket of goodies to bless your neighbors,” he wrote on the Answers in Genesis website. “Include a gospel booklet with your home-baked or store-bought treats. This is a great way to encourage your kids to give and bless others as well as share the gospel as a family.”

Oh, dear.

Imagine a "learn and share" where people from all starting points, the non-religious, religious, scientists, philosophers, artists, intellectuals, etc., patiently/respectfully educate others about how they see the world while peacefully and inquisitively learning about how others see the world.  How many people would welcome such an adventure in diversity and understanding?

The ones that like being stunningly bored?

One could make an apple pie with razor blades in it, partner it with a thank you for the gospel packet card, and take it to Kens house.

Bonus points if you deliver it while dressed in a serpent costume.

I'm fine with it. First of all-- those million dollar bills with the dinosaur look badass. How can I get one?

Second, a copy of some Scripture isn't going to hurt the kid. The parents, if they are doing their job and checking candy (by which my Mom meant eating about 1/3 of it ), will find it, make the choice whether to discard it, and it will be done.

I don't really see any real harm. Also. . . I presume that Ham's neighbors know who he is. Anyone who takes their kids to his house is doing so for the curiosity of seeing what crazy shit he'll do.

Two of my employees (English teachers) won't participate in Halloween events for some reason.  They think it celebrates death-- I think it's just having fun and giving out candy.
