Halloween cometh
Are these comments OK for this group?
--
As an atheist who does not practice paganism as a religion, I have much in common with Druids, pantheists, and naturalists.
This is my favorite time of year. I love all the decorations and celebrations of all hallows eve. It's the greatest Euro centric holiday ever.
Christianity stole the winter solstice and replaced it with a phony made up birthday party. They stole the spring equinox and replaced it with a phony myth. They tried to steal Halloween by inventing something called All Saints Day. They failed miserably with that one. To this day, the war against Halloween rages among the faithful, but they are no match for the truly liberating magic of humanity's imagination. Rock on, witches.

Many of us still celebrate at these times in the year...but we try to do it with old ways.
