Halloween

Last year, about this time, we had a great discussion on The Narrow Path about Halloween.

This year the discussion has been revived. Steve F posted a link to an excellent article about Halloween which you can read here. I recommend that you take a few moments and read it.

I've maintained for a long time that Christians make themselves (and Christianity as a whole) look foolish when they buy into alarmist propaganda about Halloween or Satanic Ritual Abuse (remember the big SRA scare/fad in the '80's?) or Proctor & Gamble's logo or any number of other urban myths and hoaxes.

We are called to be people of light and truth. We should diligently seek out the truth and bring it to light for others, not perpetuate myths, lies and hysteria.
