if a demon asked me to put gifts in a stalking or make a jack o'lantern and i did that because it wanted it sure that would be a sacrifice but mostly i do that kind of thing because i want to give presents or make a creepy face with a light in it for fun
and accepting gay marriage seems to be treating people better then you or your god would as it dosent harm any one while judging others based on faith alone can
a benevolent god would not ask you to judge others based don faith or condemn acts that dont hurt people since your religion seems to claim god cars for pele this suggests your religion is false

Holy; Holiness
A quality possessed inherently by Jehovah; a state of absolute moral purity and sacredness. (Ex 28:36; 1Sa 2:2; Pr 9:10; Isa 6:3) When referring to humans (Ex 19:6; 2Ki 4:9), animals (Nu 18:17), things (Ex 28:38; 30:25; Le 27:14), places (Ex 3:5; Isa 27:13), time periods (Ex 16:23; Le 25:12), and activities (Ex 36:4), the original Hebrew word conveys the thought of separateness, exclusiveness, or sanctification to the holy God; a state of being set aside for Jehovah’s service. In the Christian Greek Scriptures, the words rendered “holy” and “holiness” likewise denote separation to God. The words are also used to refer to purity in one’s personal conduct.—Mr 6:20; 2Co 7:1; 1Pe 1:15, 16.
Are you referring to the sports star Pele and the cars he liked? I understand being careless when typing, but some of what you've written in this thread is contradictory or incomprehensible.
"...‘You must be holy, because I am holy.’”1 Peter 1:16

what was contradictory? hear ill try again
You still don't get it. You wrote "Many people, though, regard these celebrations as harmful for the following reasons:
1 you don't have to try and contact spirits of any kind"
How is not trying to contact spirits harmful? Your careless writing says that not trying to contact spirits is harmful. Surely, this is not what you meant say.
you would have to read the link i was criticising the reasons it gave not listing them
I don't need to read a link to point out that what you wrote was contradictory and confusing. I am very, very sorry if after my pointing it out, you still don't get it. Or as you might say, "I do need to read a link to pint out what you wrot was contradicktery and vonfusing."

oh well elvira should nto be confused at least she read the linck
To be honest, blarg...your posts are very difficult to follow/understand...most of the time I have to fill in the blanks on what your are trying to say...your English and your spelling are really bad...and you do seem to contradict yourself...a lot...
any contradictions in this thread you want addressed?
I can't imagine why she'd waste her time with a reply. When I explained a contradiction to you, you still didn't understand it.
i understand them ok and i can see how i was careless and causing you confusion even
but saying halloween is harmful because other people have tried to contact spirits is still bull**** if you are not trying to do so
a costume and a plastic skull with carved gourd or whatever decorations take your fancy is not going to help you contact demons and dosent mean you are trying to

Many people, though, regard these celebrations as harmful for the following reasons:
“Halloween,” explains the Encyclopedia of American Folklore, “is integrally related to the prospect of contact with spiritual forces, many of which threaten or frighten.” (See the box “Halloween Time Line.”) Likewise, many celebrations like Halloween have pagan origins and are deeply rooted in ancestor worship. Even today, people around the world use these days to make contact with supposed spirits of the dead.
This post was a pleasure to read because you took your time. Thank you. Now that I'm not distracted and can concentrate on content, I can comment on Halloween in my own experience. My late sister was a pagan minister and Wiccan." Some of her extended tribe called her a "shaman" while others called her a "priestess." Halloween at midnight is one of the most important times of the year. She always insisted her magick was "white" because of the Rule of Three, but she did cast spells and do incantations and stuff with singing prayer bowls and etc. The traditional term for this is "sorcery."
