		<description>&quot;Most of you are not worthy of wearing Pat Robinson’s or Kimberly Daniels underwear.&quot;

You somehow think this is an insult? OMFG. Well, whatever. Obviously, you ARE so worthy. Uggg.

Ahhh, the Xtian &quot;fundamentalist&quot;. The self-proclaimed fruitcake. If you are right about your [alleged] beliefs, somehow, I don&#039;t see you showing up at the pearly gate in Pat-R&#039;s undies with frutcake recipe in hand and actually getting through. Something about lacking in the love-thy-neighbor department and acting like a true Christian. But have it your way.

Ah well. Just don&#039;t get Pat&#039;s panties in a bungie. And I guess I&#039;ll see you in - well, you I think can figure it out from here...</description>

		<description>Pat, Petrolonfire, Griffo - If you should die tomorrow where do you think you&#039;ll go?????????????    ---   When God created us he gave each of the ability make our own individual choices in life.  The real meaning of Isaiah 45:7  - is that God takes no pleasure in evil so the evil he is talking about here is physical adversity, not moral evil. God is ruler over light and darkness, over prosperity and adversity.  Our lives are sprinkled with both types of experiences and both are needed for us to grow spirtually.  

Read His commandments, Exodus 20:1-26.  - I know that somewhere  along the road of life each of you lost or abandoned any prior relationships with almighty GOD.    Yes, I am a fruitcake for Jesus, will be until the day I die and I&#039;m ready to share the recipe with each of you.</description>

		<description>I wonder if Bob has ever actually read a bible?
isiah 45:7 in the kjv proves how evil &quot;god&quot; is.
ergo: “satan’s high holiday” is actually “god’s high holiday”

:))

btw Bob, I think it&#039;s great that you believe what you do.
are you interested in making lots of money for Pat?

I have a great deal for you- 1 frequently used bridge in excellent condition.
no cheques please, cash only &amp; in small bills...</description>

		<description>It&#039;s Holloween for hollow minded atheist non-believers like you - who only have this time in life to accept Jesus Christ - if you should die without accepting Him as your LORD and Savior you will be condemned  to hell forever -  now is the only chance you&#039;ll have before you pass on to the dark side, please save yourself.  I shall continue to pray for you and all non-believers.     Jesus is the only way to God  - John 14:6

Holloween  began over 2000 yrs ago with people known as the Celtics. They lived in what is today England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales. This was also the beginning of the Celtic new year, a time to give thanks to the sun god for the harvest. It was a pagan belief that on one night of the year the souls of the dead return to their original homes, there to be entertained with food. If food and shelter were not provided, these evil spirits would cast spells and cause havoc toward those failing to fulfill their requests.   Sacrifices were offered on this night to the dead spirits because it was thought they visited their earthly dwellings and former friends.

In modern day Satanism and Witchcraft covens, this is the day when Satan himself comes to &quot;fellowship&quot; with his followers. Many changes have occurred over the centuries, but one thing has stayed the same, the practice of giving an &quot;offering&quot;,   consequently ingnorant  adults encourging children to sin &quot;Trick or Treat&quot;.  

It is Satan&#039;s objective to get all to worship him. God tells us to not have any thing to do with this.

Peter I 5:8  -  Be sober, be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking some one to devour.

1Thessalonians 5:22  - Abstain from all appearance of evil.

1Timothy 4:1   -  Now the Spirit expressly says that in later times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of demons.

Observed as a holy day of obligation by Roman Catholics, priests in white vestments will lead the faithful in reciting prayers in honor of the saints, including those not listed in the Catholic Church calendar.  The Catholic Church believe “All Saints’ Day enriches the faith of all who observe it.  When they honor the saints, that they actually give glory to God. 

Originally known as the Feast of All Martyrs in memory of the martyrs of the early Church who died for their faith in Christ, All Saints’ Day has evolved into a solemn observance during which the Church remembers all who have died in the faith.

You have no reason to be part of this holy day of Satan. Don&#039;t use the old cop out &quot;well every body does it&quot;. No everybody is not doing it. God will hold you responsible for what you do on  Halloween.</description>

		<description>&quot;I sincerly feel sorry for and will continue to pray for all non-believers who are so ignorant of the meaning of Holloween . . .&quot;

Like, say, people who don&#039;t even know how to SPELL it?

It&#039;s Halloween, with an A. Short for All Hallows Eve, because it&#039;s the day before All Hallows (or All Saints) Day, a festival celebrated by the Catholic Church for over a millennium.

The name has nothing to do with the word &quot;hollow&quot;, and if you spell or pronounce it that way, then YOU are ignorant.

As for your ridiculous claim that it&#039;s &quot;satan&#039;s high holiday&quot; . . . show us some evidence, or shut up and go away.</description>

		<description>Holloween is satan&#039;s high holiday (day to glorify the devil).  Most of you are not worthy of wearing Pat Robinson&#039;s or Kimberly Daniels underwear.    - They are truly persons of God and if  all of you practice and live by Jesus teachings as written in the  4 Gospels of the new testament as they do then this world would truly be  a paradise.  I sincerly feel sorry for and will continue to pray for all non-believers who are so ignorant of the meaning of Holloween and who encourage little children to sin against God.   It would be better to have not been born then to be born and die without Jesus Christ - all of us will have to stand and bow before Him one day.</description>
