owen

This is the third crazy-comment I've gotten this week. Where are these people coming from, and who gave them computers to play with?

Apparently, they're under the impression that the "add" that they left won't run for even a day. Well Lau (Lau is the commenter's name), no, I'm not going to run your comment on the post under which you've submitted it.  But in the interests of being fair, I'll do you one better.  I'll store your comment as a top-level post so that everyone can benefit from reading it.

I'm not sure why you submitted the comment on the earlier "Categories versus Tags" post, but I can understand if this is your first time using the web and you were a little flustered.  Clearly the use of the Shift key was causing you some trouble, too.

So, here you go, straight from guest poster Lau, my third crazy-comment this week. Enjoy!

i have a problem with the so called christians here in alabama and surrounding area but what do you want from people who, cant decide wheather they want to be christians or pagans . and before you go and call me names and ask the questions like who is he to judge ask yourself this question how many of you and your god filled churches practiced holloween or passed out the candy , or even better jet dressed up like ghost and dead people. let me school you on your flip flop holiday, thats ok with you. spirit filled ,god loving, christians .. Halloween has nothing to do with Christianity. It is a festival which no one—child or adult—should have anything to do with. We need to better understand the origins of Halloween and its dangers.During the Dark Ages, a number of pagan customs were adopted by the dominant Christian church in Europe. One of these was devil night, which was later named, "Halloween." This special night, celebrated since antiquity as the night when the devils came out and walked about the streets, was a satanic festival on October 31 of each year. The next day was called "All Saints Day" or "All Hallows Day", so "Halloween" was the night before Saints’ day. Like the night before it, All Hallows Day was dedicated to honoring the dead.

Christianizing the Devil?
There are those today who have tried to “Christianize” Halloween even more. They dress their children in Biblical costumes and celebrate Halloween as a “harvest festival.” But the origin of the night’s celebrations remains the same. We should not ape the world in observing special sacred days originated by Satan. Separation is needed, not compromise.

got some of you guys thinking dont i . well lets see just how long this add will run people hate the truth and what does the bible say about the truth . i bet you anything that as soon as the editors of this web page read this it wont run a day . because they are more concerned about hurting your feeling than saving your soul and the first reason they will give is its not our place to try and save your soul . i live in prattville and i have worked a few jobs . where am i going . well lets get there real fast i know some of you have things to do . well i worked at a local area movie store where we sold furniture and a variety of movies , after being there a while i come to find out they had a special section under the counter of xxx tapes imagine my shock when i found this out me being christian and all well the first words out of my mouth were i see why you hide them no one wants to rent that smut . they laughed at me and told me to be here on sunday which i had to be i was scheduled to work that day . clocked in and to my surprizes right around noon or one oclock we were over run alot of these guys and girls older men and women i knew them all and some took me by surprize as soon as church had let out they were renting sex tapes and were bold about it some didnt even take the time to come out of there sunday dress or as we country folk say they were wearing there good cloths . well to make a long story short i lost all respect for alot of people that day and alot of churches aswell the churches these people came from will be listed in the next posting and the churches that practice holloween every year will be posted here aswell just to see how many of you good christian folk will protest my posting or call me a liar but i got pics of the churches with the holloween fixens out front and the cross not far from . ge t the picture you know who you are and i think the rest of the area should know who you are .. ooooops alot of you go to the churches i am talking about . so now i know for a fact this add is cancled . it runs there is a god only the workers of satan will tryand hide the truth

 

No, this stuff is too hard to make up.  Thanks for writing, Lau.  You've made my day!

And the best part is, following the logic at the end of the quote there, I can still be a "worker of satan" because the logic allows the loophole.  See, I'm certainly a worker of satan if the "add" doesn't run, but there is no qualification for me if it does run, so who knows?  Either way, I suppose that I'm doomed to hell for all the times that I've dressed Abby in a nun costume for Halloween.

The other two crazy commenters seem to think I'm on my way to the hot place, too.  Do you guys know something I don't?

Ah, yes...  This comment is a work of staggering genius.  I need to pick this guy up as a daily guest poster for during vacation next week.
