Trick or Treat
We took the kids Downtown today to go Trick or Treating. The local businesses hold one every year, part of their efforts to bring people there to shop. It's very quaint, with many interesting shops.
As we left the parking lot to start our fun, we happened upon a little antique store. The store had some items outside on display. My wife and I were looking at the items, when from behind us we heard someone speak to us in a very rude manner.
"There's no candy here."
I replied that we were just looking at the stuff that was for sale. Mrs. Molly went into fight mode and remarked about her rudeness. We went on our way, to have some really good fun, and plenty of candy.......for the kids.....really for the kids......ok we may have dipped into the bags a few times.
On the way back to the car, I saw the woman standing outside her shop and called her an Old Bat. I hate crappy people like that. We were interested in one of her furniture pieces......she just lost that sale.
I have something else I'd like to get off my chest.
Halloween is NOT the Devil's holiday. My GD in-laws are Pentecostal and told my daughter 'What Halloween really was.' You know what? Keep your effin' opinion to yourself, they had her all scared. I realize Halloween comes from a Pagan Holiday called Samhain (sp?) You know what? So do the rest of our 'Christian' holidays. As far as I see it right here right now, it's a bunch of kids dressing up to get candy. Do you really think that some kid gives two-shits about what your denomination teaches you? Because I'll let you in on a little secret...their Dad and Mom don't care about your opinions, and we are not going to let our kids miss out on a night of fun, because of YOUR beliefs.
I will have to share my thoughts on Religion, and 'religious' people someday.
Given what I just wrote...I think you can guess already.

About the old bat, rightly labeled...
about my blog...am writing it up now...
OMG your inlaws are pentecostal?
I was raised pentecostal and we NEVER got told that!! We had parties and dressed up...hahaha I guess we were evil! haha
I'm not anymore and even sadder, I'm a bit jaded on some recent events and am slowly slipping right into agnosticism.
I think they were baptist before that. I don't know and don't really care what they are, just as long as they leave my kids out of it. Let them make up their own minds.
Right. Don't push your convictions on someone else. I think I'm finally getting that across to several people I care about.
My hubby's ex won't let their kids watch Harry Potter because of witchcraft and it's evil, but she lets them go trick or treating, hmmm, hypocrit? My thing is, if my kids not sacrificing a goat, then he can celebrate Halloween. I also agree that you shouldn't push your beliefs on someone else, I believe it's freedom of religion. Some people.
Halloween is what you make it. :P
Eh. My ex's wife ruins everything with her fear of Satan. My son isn't able to read or talk about Harry Potter because it's chock full of Satan's word. Magic is evil. Good grief.
Show me an overly relgious person and I'll show you a hypocrit.
