Paul didn't compare Christ's battle against the Devil with Zeus's battle against the titans and we as Christians should not likewise compare our spiritual warfare with the demonic entreaties of pagan religions.<BR/><BR/>Having a problem with Christian alternatives does not justify leaping into the arms of relativism and trying to find develop common ground between antithetical religions.<BR/><BR/>As far as your misconception about the devil being "on vacation" (he is a PROWLING lion, not a snoozing one) consider what you yourself have said:<BR/>"Today it's a children's game to dress like Spider-man and Harry Potter as they go trick-or-treating; originally it was the druids who disguised themselves, to lead malicious spirits away from the village, to protect the people."<BR/>I'd say that the devil is doing a more than adequate job of leading people away from truth and towards fantasy and mysticism, away from the saving God and towards the idols (these ones may move on screen but they are still deaf and dumb) of popular culture.Ken Jr.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00770002710334976191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14433300.post-65776094853155576292007-02-08T23:00:00.000-05:002007-02-08T23:00:00.000-05:00I just stumbled across your blog, and though it's ...I just stumbled across your blog, and though it's been awhile since you posted this, it reminded me of a church website I visited this past Fall ('06).<BR/><BR/>This church had set various rooms up with different themes or candies, something like that, but the most important point they made on the site was that kids were not allowed to say "trick or treat" at the event.<BR/><BR/>But that's pretty much today's Body. Take something of society, try and put their own piss stain on it and then proclaim it "better" or "Christianized".<BR/><BR/>Oh yeah, the common moniker is "if you've been looking for a safe, faith-based alternative to" x activity.<BR/><BR/>Yawn.John Three Thirtyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06604940432350963244noreply@blogger.com
