Happy HALLOWEEN 2013

[Doubting Thomas]

I know of a guy who printed out Bible verses on little 1x2 inch pieces of paper and handed them out to everyone who came to his door along with the candy.

He's an atheist. You can imagine the reaction of many of these children when they googled the verses and found them only to be word for word from the King James Bible.

Brilliant!

What verses were they? Something really crazy, I hope.

Have you ever noticed that in the majority of ghost movies, the hauntings and possessions tend to happen to those who are religious believers?

Actually, in The Exorcist Regan and her mom were not really religious, as her mother asked one of the housekeepers why they placed a crucifix in Regan's bed. You know, the same one she was using later in that famous scene where the devil says, "Let Jesus fuck you!"

I do not have costumes anymore but I do have a pair of special contacts:



(not my face)

[Mystical]

I have seen both. All I know is that I used to wake up screaming because I had terror dreams about possessed dolls or objects that I was unable to pray away with the power of god. I actually believed that when I had those dreams it was the holy spirit warning me when I wasn't strong in my faith.
No, like really. Reread that then imagine it. I'm surprised I'm not mentally damaged and able to look back at it for what it was.. I'm coming to conclude that maybe sometimes people get too immersed in the lie to break free completely. I'm still in denial recovery.

[Minimalist]

Surely atheists can believe in some higher life form somewhere that exists in some immaterial, energetic, 'quantum' formlessness?

No. We leave that to you fucking fools.

But Halloween is an excuse for little bastards to ring my doorbell. Fuck 'em.

I like Halloween but have no plans today. I'll pass out candy if anyone knocks, but I didn't have any trick-or-treaters last year so will probably have a quiet evening.

I enjoy the costumes. Three years ago I went to work dressed as a geisha (even had the traditional hard-as-hell-to-walk-in shoes). I won the best costume prize, but it was a hollow victory. I was going for pretty but ended up with something like Gloria Swanson from "Sunset Boulevard."

I like Halloween, too. I love an excuse to dress up and step out of my day-to-day self for a change! Not this year, though -- too busy.

Don't miss the trick-or-treaters much. The little kids are adorable, but I'm not big on passing out candy to 16-year-olds. Go to a party, for fuck's sake.

But I can't complain any longer... haven't had a trick-or-treater in 9 years. I keep a crisp $20 for the first intrepid kid who walks around my gate, traverses the llloooonnnnnggggg dark-as-midnight, heavily wooded gravel driveway over 2 creeks, defies the dogs and the other security measures to trick-or-treat at my door. He or she deserves more than a miserly piece of candy.

I'm thinking of upping it to a $50 this year.

You think that is bad? Try groups of college and university frats that do not even dress up. I think I said "what the fuck" out loud once.

That's bad. Really bad. And you wouldn't dare turn them away for the sake of a few pieces of candy, either. Shameful.

someone from my apartment office knocked on our door to see if we wanted to renew. When my sis opened it they were in a scary ass mask and freaked out the kids

Little neice of mine is a mermaid, nephew is Dracula I'll post pics
