    Is this guy Stox pretending to be a christian or something? None of those holidays are from the Bible. If one of them was out of the Bible he would be able to reference a chapter or 3 that it came out of.

    Just because a holiday starts as a religious festival, it doesn't mean it has to stay that way.

    Not only are they festivals of many sorts, some as Christmas and Easter have varying / different religious meanings than the interpretation of the Christian Bible and those of us that recognize the difference certainly are not Christians in any sort of way.

    Could be, but if we assume everyone that blindly supports their beliefs with mis-statements & logical fallacies is a plant to discredit the religion they purportedly espouse we'd have to conclude many of the guys with blue avatars were sent by the Vatican.

    So I'm Christian/Catholic if I don't believe in God, do believe in the rights of gays, but each Halloween give out candy?

    PS - Stox is sadly gone until July.

    Yes, apparently per the OP the church has discarded their previous requirements in favor of a new "salvation by Hershey Bar" program. Maybe you missed the memo.
