Oh what fresh hell is this..?

RE: Oh what fresh hell is this..?
I have a sneaking suspicion you either skimmed through the thread or you didn't read it at all, because everything you said has already been covered. "Jesusween" is nothing more than a silly PR stunt which everyone will hopefully have forgotten about before too long. There's nothing "God-given" about it - it's just a bunch of self-righteous holier-than-thou idiots with nothing better to do. Besides which, Hallowe'en is a xtian feast day anyway.

I forget where I first saw this but I think it fits rather well here: Religion is like a penis; you have every right to have it and you're perfectly entitled to play with it as much as you want. Just don't wave it around in public... and never, ever, try to shove it down a child's throat.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

RE: Oh what fresh hell is this..?
"When you go to school and church, they tell you 'hell' is negative and 'heaven' is positive,'" said the 56-year-old Canales, who owns the Kingsville Flea Market. "I think it's time that we set a new precedent, to tell our kids that we are positive adults."

Sadly, it won't be much of a precedent to do something that tells your kids that adults are profoundly stupid.
