Pagan Invasion: Halloween Trick or Treat - DVD-R Hell

[@SpukiTheLoveKitten75]

Every place needs a Jesus. If Christianity had been practiced properly throughout history, it could have been the greatest force for peace and social justice... Instead, it was co-opted by the corrupt and powerful and became a tool of bigotry, war, imperialism, pogroms, etc. It's time for Progressive Christianity to rise and take over and in the Spirit of Ecumenicalism. I feel Jesus' message was universal and that he can be applied to anyone of any faith. I feel non Christians can be "honorary Christians". I embrace a belief system that combines Mainstream (that is, exoteric or orthodox) Christianity with Esoteric Christianity, NeoPaganism, Hinduism and generally an interfaith approach. All faiths are blind men grabbing different parts of the elephant and I'm grabbing as much of that pacyderm as possible. To me, Christianity is a multi faith faith, combining Judaism, Zoroastrianism, Roman mystery religions and Dharmic faiths as main components. Christ is basically Vishnu, who incarnated in a highly adept Jewish holyman named Yeshua Bar Yosef / Miriam. All deities are One Deity. YHVH / Allah, ParaBrahman, etc. are One in the same. This is what I believe. I also believe in a very non - literal interpretation of Gnosticism (which doesn't reject the Material and Earthly) and feel that The Demiurge represents a false understanding of Deity. The Demiurge is false piety and scriptures that embrace division, repression, bigotry and hate. When believers cherry pick only the good bits that emphasize goodness, charity, love and good conduct, they are separating the wheat from the chaff and not being superficial "not true believers". The Demiurge Principle can be applied to all scriptures. If something preaches division, sexism, other bigotries, sexual repression, genocide, exclusivity, etc. It's the Demiurge breaking wind. Sorry for long, weird post.

[@SpukiTheLoveKitten75]

Looking at the alleged site of Satanic ceremonies in the video, I was surprised there wasn't a joke involving Old West tropes... "HUMAN SACRIFICE AT THE O.K. CORRAL!" Shame that Chuck & Carol aren't as hilarious and memorable as Gary & Phil.

[@Hyreia]

I have fond memories of dumping my candy out at the end of the night onto the living room floor and spreading it out with my parents. While we were looking at the haul we were also technically looking for anything that might have been contaminated or tampered with. Since, you know, I did just spend a few hours taking candy from mostly strangers. Obviously we never found anything, but that little ritual and the side effect of "wow look at all we got!" was great. tl;dr: fond memories of looking for razor blades in my candy with my parents

[@KEVMAN7987]

Really it was so your parents could pick out what candy they were going to steal once you went to bed.

[@helgmelia84]

Aw, I have the same fond memories. It’s not that we didn’t trust our neighbors, but Mom was generally scared of any threat to us that she might have heard on the news. We never found anything amiss, and it was a good chance for us to see all that we got. My siblings and I also used it as a chance to swap candies. Good times.

[@funkyweapon1981]

My friends and I would trade candy after checking it. 1980's Halloween was the best!

When I was about 11 or 12 we got new neighbors who moved in mid October, so my mom asked the kids if they were excited to go trick or treating and kid you not, the kid was like 6 or 7 says, “no. That’s the devil’s holiday.” My mom looked at him and told him, “oh, we really like it over here!” My mom is awesome.

[@CrazyPangolinLady]

The last bit reminds me: Jesus dying on the cross is meant to be a direct and intentional parallel to the old Jewish practice of animal sacrifice/“the scape goat.” They would transfer their sins onto a goat and sacrifice the goat to God. Jesus took all of mankind’s sins and died for us, thereby being the last sacrifice. This is a completely intentional parallel, and early followers would have recognized this. It’s literally what people mean when they say “Jesus died for our sins.” So yeah, Christianity has human sacrifice. That’s the whole gimmick in fact.

[@kleptrep94]

Yo dude thanks for explaining to me exactly where the term scapegoat comes from, it's super swell to learn new stuff. I wish you a great day.

I actually grew up in a pagan household and I confirm that they are indeed very pleasant people. Their traditions may seem weird to most people, but if you take a step back and examine your own cultures religions, youll most likely find some very odd beliefs in there too. Some of them can be a bit self righteous (mostly younger members) and Druids are a bit preachy imo, but they generally keep to themselves and have a very live-and-let live attitude, which I find is very common in non-organised faiths.

It's always amazing to me how fast these things can spew bullshit completely unchallenged or even acknowledged.

(Yes, that's where "Lord of the Flies" comes from, grade-school level biblical shit jokes.) Even if "Baal" were a singular specific god, why would ancient people living a huge distance away in northern Europe be interested in it? Also, is he a god or a demon king? Isn't it disingenuous to call other religions' gods demons and then slander them as devil worshipers?

Mistletoe was also the only thing that could kill the god Baldr. Because Freya forgot to ask it not to harm him.

This reminds me of that episode of King of the Hill where the character of Junie Harper tries to ban Halloween in Arlen due to it supposedly being a "Satanic holiday invented by the Druids," with her being portrayed as a complete nutcase throughout the course of the episode. The people in this documentary feel like the exact kind of people she was supposed to be a parody of.

[@somoneelse3488]

As a lifelong Pagan, I think out of all the nonsense they spew, the most absurd part of this is when she calls us "highly organized". Ma'm, we're lucky if we can agree what day it is.

One Halloween, I went out dressed as a license plate. What would these people have to say about that?

[@TheRealNormanBates]

Jacob Juenger YOU’RE EXPIRED! AND FROM OUT OF STATE! Put him in jail!

Maybe something comparing the law regarding license plates to the practice of using barcodes for goods, which some of these bible-thumpers actually believe is the mark of The Beast.

I think my brother rented this from our local independent video store, or something similar. Once he saw what it was all about, he stopped the tape and hauled ass right back to it to return the thing. I don't even think he bothered to rewind it (though I could be wrong).

When I was a kid, I was into Ghostbusters and my mom got me a The Real Ghostbusters Egon costume cause it was the only one they had (at the time I would have preferred a Venkmen or Ray costume). Which is somewhat ironic considering I cried during the climax of Ghostbusters: Afterlife which I saw in theaters last year and now I'm kinda glad I did go as Egon all those years ago.

[@RaphBlade7]

Oh, and my grandfather was a blind pastor (not at the time, have you but that was during the period he had left the Pentecostal church cause he disagreed with some things, though eventually became a pastor of his own Assembly of God church, though he wasn't the self righteous sort like these people) who had no problem with Halloween (he wouldn't have said anything against it anyway if he did cause he knew that denying kids something others enjoyed just made them want to do it more, though fortunately he proverbially see what idiots like this can't, that Halloween is just a fun scary secular holiday and that it's good to let kids be kids, and he knew scripture well enough to know it could be pretty violent). I went to a Baptist Sunday school and am currently a non-practicing Methodist (basically it means I believe in God & Jesus, but don't go to church on Sundays, and not too religious and enjoy things like METAL music (my mom even likes rap music including Eminem and while my grandfather wasn't one for swearing especially MF and saying God's name in vain which is the commandment that most people mistake for a ban on all profanity, though again my grandfather would know you don't stop someone from listening to it cause it just makes them want to listen to it) and Dragon Ball (I have also read Harry Potter as a kid, though I stopped around Order of the Phoenix cause I found it boring compared anime/manga at the time, and also found the fact they used wands to perform magic kinda redundant when you'd think they'd find a way to perform it without them, or something that could double as melee weapon like a staff/scepter). (Guess I became spoiled by video game RPGs, Naruto, and Dragon Ball Z).
