Hey, it's Halloween, which means the nutbars are crawling out of the woodwork.

Make no mistake, these people are perfectly, deadly serious, and they believe what they're saying.

Yes, they believe in magic. Yes, they make Jack Chick look sane.

Speaking of nutbars,
Lightning strikes Baptist pastor mid-service. Quasiliterate congregation still inexplicably thinks Baptist theology is Christian, let alone Biblically supported.

I hate when people ignorantly spew "facts" about Druids about as if theyknow what they're talking about. I don't have a website about the "fact" that Christians engage in weekly cannibalism, do I? Argh.

I emailed them with actual facts and links to more facts. I don't suspect they'll make use of them, but I think that I can't really blame them unless I give them the option of seeing the truth of the matter.

@##!?! I forgot my chainsaw!

An excerpt from Wikipedia

"All Hallow's Eve," so called as it is the evening (or eve) before the feast of All Saints (an important day in the Christian calendar), which used to be called "All Hallows" derived from All Hallowed Souls. In Ireland, the name was Hallow Eve and this name is still used by some older people. Halloween was formerly also sometimes called All Saints' Eve. The holiday was a day of religious festivities in various northern European pagan traditions, until it was appropriated by Christian missionaries and given a Christian reinterpretation.

Funny how some Christians have completely turned a blind eye to the nature of this holiday.

But don't you see? That is what the vast Satanic conspiracy *wants* you to believe. Jack Chick and his fundy friends know the Truth! It's all about demons and human sacrifice, and little kids going house-to-house asking for candy is a tradition that should be abolished because Satan feeds on people having a good time! The more fun you're having, the closer you are to burning in Hell! NO FUN FOR YOU!!!

From the third link:

Overcoming evil with good will not be accomplished by having a party and celebrating while followers of Satan literally sacrifice human beings on altars all over the world.

I think this wouldn't be quite as funny if they *weren't* serious.

Also, the headline for the last one really should read 'If we are wrong about our religion, may God strike me down with lightning!'
