    My neighbors turned their current home into a Haunted House for Halloween. They were inviting strangers to walk through the house which had received a spooky make over. Donations accepted. Of course, it was a low budget affair that was extremely silly. Fake spider webs, old Halloween customs for decorations, and scary music. It's a 3 minute walk through if you go slow. Big freakin' yawn, right? Truly pathetic... except for the two 5yr. old skeletons that would jump out, scream at you, and then run giggling into the next room to hide. They'd wait for you there, only to repeat the same routine. I would have given just about anything to join them - what memories they're gonna have - the joy of scaring adults again, and again and again. Best Haunted House Ever! I made a generous donation and went through twice. ;)

    5 year old jumps out and scares you - cute. 15 year old jumps out to scare you - not so cute.

              Haunted Houses may seem like fun but take a moment to think of what these are imitating. Haunted houses frequently contain imagery of demons, torture, monsters, etc.. What kind of parent thinks this is ok? Philippians 4:8 Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable--if anything is excellent or praiseworthy--think about such things.

                  Oh dear. Probably the kind of parents who prefer teaching their children that bogeymen don't exist. The real danger usually comes from things that are made of flesh and blood and pretend to be harmless.

                          You do see the irony in preaching to people who spend all day thinking about all kinds of things which may be true or false?

                            I wonder if Tarsky or Kripke would agree. In any case it's also the case that Lies are Lies no matter how old you are. In fact it's generally true that 'X' is 'X' no matter how old you are for all values of 'X'. :-D

                              I understand your viewpoint and agree with the Scripture passage. I disagree with your application in this case. I saw a family come together and spend quite a bit of time together to put on a free show for the neighborhood. I think those kids are going to have very fond memories of their time scaring adults and being delightfully silly. What I saw is a whole lot of pure, lovely, and admirable in what these people were doing. I've been a Christian most of my 45 years. I'm getting tired of other Christians bashing the efforts of others all the time. I don't expect the world to produce perfection (and frankly, it don't expect that from me either) - I'll applaud the excellent and led the bad slide.

                                    Sorry but quoting facts from the bible is not religion any more than quoting facts such as gravity makes me a scientist or posting the weather report makes me a meteorologist...

                                        Sorry but quoting facts from the bible is not religion any more than quoting facts such as gravity makes me a scientist or posting the weather report makes me a meteorologist...
