[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 475770, member: 11791"] Keista - Better get your facts straight, too. Its a murky enough subject that generalities only make it worse. It wasn't "Christians" who accepted/incorporated pagan religeous practices... it was the Roman Catholic Church. Not exactly the same thing. (and it wasn't just Halloween.) These practices were adapted and accepted, because they couldn't find any way to stamp them out, so they turned them into "something else" (on the surface). Halloween isn't necessarily evil, depending on which traditions you come from. But it isn't part of MY culture, and I refuse to practice someone else's religion. Current political correctness and push for "acceptance" of other cultures and beliefs, has stretched to the point that one is actually mistreated for NOT participating. Anyone else see a red flag?
