My family used to sacrifice a goat on the altar every year to Asmodeus and the dark Lord Satan when I was a kid. These little brats now, though, they might, MIGHT ritualistically slaughter a cat or something and maybe recite an incantation but that's usually about it. Most of them don't even know the proper sacrificial procedures. They slit the throat first, yeah, but then they wing it. It's depressing how much the reason for the season has been lost. It's a war on Halloween.

Even more sadly, at least in my area, is that the children here have moved almost entirely to firework-based methods of cat-slaughter, which clearly does nothing what-so-ever to appease Apharoohl, The Djinn of The Lost Ones.

This clip perfectly encapsulates what I thought in church. The pastors would decry Halloween for having fun and celebratory elements while also denouncing the fun and celebratory elements of Christmas. And I'm thinking, "What if Santa Claus brings more people to Jesus than it he wasn't a tradition?" Never got to ask that in church though.

Lol but no. Necronomicon was thought up by Lovecraft, and unsurprisingly it's yet another feature of his life's works that's taken on a life of its own. Even when he was alive he had to clarify multiple times there is no Necronomicon and he just made the thing up. Unfortunately some people REALLY need to get out in the real world more often.

As a certified Boomer myself i feel like Duncan so often when i talk to other boomers it blows my mind, iam proud of you kids, you guys really do be kickin ass, you guys are more united then my Generation and my parents generation combined, you guys are politicaly not that interested because it isnt intressting to see old people making choices that fuck over your own generation, your music is weird but its more varity then ever its more creative on the broad spectrum then ever before and you guys actually express yourself, iam watching a lot of young artists on twitch and TikTok, some of that Art is so beautiful, you are more honest then we while still trying to be as nice about it as ever before. You guys dont buy houses because my Parents and my Generation fucked the Market economy your money isnt getting you the same stuff as our money once did i saw the "my Parents at 20 VS. me at 20" and yes our rackless behaviour back in the day made this possible on the cost of you guys. And some of yall are depressed because this World can be depressing it may not be the worst time in history to be alive but definitly one thats not in favor of the youth at all. You guys arent a shame to the people that fought wars for our free world, you guys are using the freedoms our grandfathers fought for and they would be proud of yall trust me.

As a family who uses artificial bones, it’s simply unfair to say that we must go out of our way to harvest our one bones, and we can easily celebrate the season in more way than we could if we had to butcher and harvest our own bones. Don’t knock it until you try it.
