a couple of towns here in louisiana cancelled halloween because its 'about the devil and demons' and some towns moved halloween from sunday to last thursday so that the celebration of withcraft and demons isnt done on the day of the lord

Sue them. Literally.


It's a religious holiday, protected by the 1st Amendment of the United States.




I sued my daughters school because they told her she couldn't wear her pentacle to school, they said it was "upsetting to the other kids".




She now wears it to school and they don't say a damn word.


Contact the ACLU.

Baker officials hope to ban 'satanic' holiday

>BAKER -- Ghosts and goblins, costumed superheroes, even
>little girls dressed up like Cinderella -- none may be
>welcome on the streets of Baker next year if some city
>officials get their way and drive Halloween out of town.
>
>"We're going to introduce an ordinance to stop
>Halloween -- period," City Councilman Fred Russell said.
>
>During this week's City Council meeting, Russell
>announced that he was in favor of eliminating Halloween
>beginning in 2005.
>
>Russell is not alone in taking this stance because
>throughout the Bible Belt this October, others are
>speaking out on religious grounds against celebrating
>Halloween on Oct. 31 since it falls on a Sunday.
>
>Russell told council members he hears from 10 to 15
>people each year asking him to ban Baker's Halloween
>celebration. "People don't like it," he said.
>
>What disturbs some people about Halloween, particularly
>church leaders, is its association with witchcraft and
>anti-Christian values, Russell said.
>
>At the council meeting, Russell declared, "We are a
>Christian city. Jesus is lord over Baker."
>
>However, Russell acknowledged that any ordinance aimed
>at banning Halloween would need council approval.
>
>Mayor Harold Rideau said he, too, supports the idea of
>ditching Halloween.
>
>"That's one day I don't support," Rideau said. "It's
>not really a day you want to celebrate as a Christian."
>
>Halloween started as a Celtic New Year celebration in
>honor of the dead. It began long before the foundation
>of Christianity and continued after the Roman conquest
>of what is now Britain in A.D. 43. Halloween was first
>observed in the United States in the 1840s.
>
>Because Oct. 31 falls on a Sunday this year -- a day of
>worship for many Christians --Mayor Rideau said a lot
>of people in Baker felt it is an inappropriate day on
>which to celebrate Halloween.
>
>"It's also a safety issue," Rideau explained Friday. He
>said it is dangerous to have excited children running
>around on the streets after dark.
>
>The council voted Tuesday to change this year's
>trick-or-treating in Baker from Sunday, Oct. 31, to
>Thursday, Oct. 28, between 6 p.m. and 8 p.m.
>
>Councilman Charles Vincent is adamant in his desire to
>see Baker give Halloween the brush off. "I would like
>to see us eliminate it entirely," he said.
>
>Vincent described Halloween as a satanic celebration
>and said that honoring it on any day of the week is wrong.
>
>Police Chief Sid Gautreaux said that although it might
>disappoint his grandchildren, he is not a fan of Halloween.
>
>Trick-or-treating requires Gautreaux to put three times
>the normal number of patrol cars out on the street. It
>also eats up a big chunk of his overtime budget. "It
>wouldn't hurt my feelings in the least bit if they cut
>it out," he said.
>
>Yet, despite some support from city officials for
>striking the celebration of Halloween from Baker's
>calendar, children don't need to toss out their
>trick-or-treat bags just yet.
>
>Three of the five members of the City Council said they
>oppose doing away with Halloween. Councilmen Jimmy
>Pourciau, A.J. Walls and Trae Welch all said they would
>oppose any move to get rid of the annual costume and
>candy fest.
>
>"I don't have no problem with Halloween," Walls said.
>"I always enjoyed it when I was a kid." He said it is
>one of the few times of the year when people actually
>get out and meet their neighbors. "I don't think it has
>nothing to do with witchcraft," Walls added.
>
>Councilman Trae Welch, who is also a lawyer, said any
>proposed ordinance to ban Halloween would almost
>certainly run into immediate legal problems. He said
>the City Council cannot enact an ordinance barring
>someone from dressing up in a costume and knocking on a
>neighbor's door, either on Halloween or any other day.
>
>Welch said the council doesn't have the authority to
>tell people what they can and cannot celebrate. If the
>issue of banning Halloween does come up for a vote,
>Welsh said he has already made his decision. "I know I
>wouldn't vote for it," he said.
>
>Other city officials encourage safe trick-or-treating.
>Fire Chief Danny Edwards said firefighters will hand
>out candy at the fire station on Oct. 28.
>
>No messing with holiday
>
>East Baton Rouge Mayor-President Bobby Simpson said
>Friday after he announced trick-or-treating would fall
>on Sunday, the traditional Halloween day, "I didn't get
>one phone call."
>
>"I did get an e-mail from a lady in Baker, but Baker is

>
>The one piece of advice former Mayor-President Tom Ed
>McHugh gave him when he took over the Mayor's Office
>nearly four years ago was not to mess with Halloween,
>Simpson said.
>
>In 1993, McHugh moved it off of a Sunday night to the

>
>Told that the Baker City Council on Tuesday night

What's really funny is when Jesus WAS alive ther wasnt even a SUNDAY.


Sunday was made AFTER he was dead, its called the Julian Calendar, look it up for yourself it is a non arguable historical fact..


That's why restaraunts use the 6 day calendar, called the JULIAN calendar.


And seeing that, Jesus wouldnt have even been born in December, it would have been August.

AlienQ - BANNED FOR LIFE

I cant believe people are that fucken nuts.

Next thing ya know that town will be having Witch trials.

our holidays of christmas, halloween and easter have nothing to do with jesus or christians anyway. They are old pagan holidays.

Amazing how many fucking idiots there are that dont know this, spouting off this Jesus bullshit.

baddog

People are so stupid. I remember hearing about a school that suspended a girl for not singing/talking the Pledge of Allegiance.

Okay, the Julian Calendar was created 45 years before Christ was born, so will give you that, but please tell me one restaurant that uses a 6 day calendar, and perhaps provide a link to an example.

And what's even funnier than THAT, is that you are a big, fat liar and a SCAMMING PIECE OF SHIT who has to beg people to paypal him $2 to cover his hosting, and who couldn't even afford to put gas in his Pinto to drive to a lawyer's office, let alone sue someone.

AHAHAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! Now that one REALLY cracks me up!! And you spell like a retarded second grader, to boot!!! AHAHAHAHAHAH!!!
