Jedi...what kind of positive message to a xtian could a vampire sucking blood from someone be in the eyes of God?

And we see even more prevalent today the occult playing a part in many of the movies today.

The original Dracula movie is perfect example of Good vs Evil.Dracula fears the Cross.(which is something most "modern" adaptions tend to omit) Which is a powerful testimony of the power of Christ over the devil.Like satan,dracula must hide in the dark and seduce his victims,who are usually unaware of his power.The Light of the sun (Son) is devestating to him.More examples can be made,but I agree that horror movies of today are a far cry from yesteryear.The main theme of most of those early films is the triumph of Good over Evil.Light over Darkness.

Ask the catholic (xtians) who've ritualized such "vampirism" in their pseudo-"transubstitution" rite.

Not enough to know the jw cult's position on all hallow's eve celebration however, I'd etimate they're against it.

So was George Carlin, although he didn't descend into further religious delusion - he broke free of them altogether.

I liked Carlin as a comedian but he did a bit against God saying,"everything god made dies"


It shows u what he knew.As you know man brought death on to himself...but as typical in this world God gets blamed according to him.And for what its worth,i didnt find that bit funny cos of his ignorance.

Your reaction emphasizes your own ignorance, not Carlin's.  His humor was pointing out the inherent irrationality of specious religious beliefs which are based on blind faith, (which includes falsely attributing things to some hypothetical 'deity').

that is left up to your perspective and superstitions. My feeling is that it does not correlate at all with religion. It is like a "fun" holiday with no purpose other than to be for fun

Then you are tacitly unaware of the pagan origins of all hallow's eve.

People read way too much into Halloween.  It's just a fun night for kids and forget all of the pagan, witchcraft and all of of the other creepy stuff.  Let the kids be kids.

What it has become now is not what it once was.  Ignorance of the past can lead to attrocities of the future.

Amen.

"Amen", "Amon", "Amun" was an Egyptian neteru, (their word for "deity"), thousands of years before the judeo-xtian theft and assimulation of that "ren", (name, in Aegyptian), which is a dishonorable plagiarism by cultural thieves.

Amen.
