Christine O'Donnell: Halloween is 'Satanic' and 'People Are Falling Victims to Human Sacrifices'

Christine O’Donnell: Halloween is ‘Satanic’ and ‘People Are Falling Victims to Human Sacrifices’

WingnutsOctober 2010 • Views: 9,949

Christine O’Donnell provides our mind-boggling GOP candidate’s Crazy Quote of the Day.

I don’t celebrate Halloween because of what it means, because it is a Satanic holiday, it is a pagan holiday, and while people are goin’ around gettin’ free candy, other people are falling victims to human sacrifices and things like that. I mean, that’s the re… that’s the reality of what’s goin’ on on Halloween.

Human sacrifice! My street has sacrificed its collective mobility this evening for a couple of hours while all the small trick-or-treaters in the neighborhood burn up some sugar racing around.

Never a dull moment from Christine. If the US senate didn’t actually have to do serious business, I’d actually in a way hope she was elected to see what kind of insanity she’d do on the Senate floor. Seriously it amazes me that someone who thinks like this is a nominee of a major party. Great job Jim Demint nad Sarah Palin. You sure do know how to find crazies.

Gus Sun, Oct 31, 2010 3:24:45pm

Halloween is just a ploy to have your children eat candy which lead to tooth decay! It is because of this that government will convince American citizens to put mind altering fluoride into the water supply to control the citizenry according to the plans layed out by the Bilderbergs and the CFR.

Once upon a time, we were in Pkoenix at Halloween. So we figured we would take our daughter to the zoo because we heard they were having a halloween party. Well, during that afternoon I noticed something in the newspaper that the zoo was actually offering a “Christian alternative” to Halloween, but didn’t mention what that meant. So we took her to a mall instead. I still wonder what that meant.

I was thinking that if Christine would take the traditional way (local gov’t, then state Rep or Sen.) of getting into higher office she just might be able to do it.
Yes, she is kind of nutty, but she is also pretty and wells poken, not afraid to mix it up.
BUT she needs to deal with her ethical problems and keep her crazy to herself and her family.

William of Orange Sun, Oct 31, 2010 3:39:49pm

Totally unrelated, other than the fact that both O’Donnell and these two are both religious nut jobs. Two activists are picketing an abortion clinic. A father to be, with a wish to have a baby, confronts these ****s and tells them what it is to expect a baby which doesn’t have a chance of a life. He clearly lets his emotions loose. I feel for him and his wife.

Some of the fundy churches here have those. They recycle traditional Halloween party activities like the haunted house, but have it represent the horrors of hell or secular humanism or something. Instead of goblins, ghouls, and witches, they have evolutionists, climatologists, and Democrats jumping out to get you. One of them had a dunking chair where you could dunk Satan in cold water, the latter labeled “gospel.”

First Baptist Church here in Lubbock is sponsoring a gigantic Family Fun Fest tonight. How gigantic? They have rented the Civic Center exhibit hall for it. None of the church’s own facilities are large enough, even though it is the second largest Baptist church in the world.

Family Fun Fest is a FREE community-wide event that provides a fun, safe and wholesome environment for families on Halloween night. There will be inflatables, treats, classic cars, mascots, giveaways every 15 minutes, great coupons from local businesses and MUCH MORE! Last year, more than 8000 people were apart of Family Fun Fest! Don’t miss out, bring your kids to the BIGGEST and the BEST place to be on Halloween night!

About the only connection one can find is the connection between ancient druids and the Celts. Anyway, I’m really not well versed in this history.

The Druids human sacrifice thing is one of the mysteries of history that we’ll likely never have a definitive answer about or at least in the way we think of sacrificing. The accounts are few and far between and come from those (the Romans) who had every reason to paint their practices as being barbaric as possible. There are many modern histories who feel that it was more propaganda then anything. What the Celts did do was cut off the heads of their enemies and dispose of them in a ritualistic manner. It had to do with the belief that the seat of the soul was situated in the head region. It was as much about respect as it was about killing. They also killed criminals in a ritualistic manner but then that’s nothing new. It still happens today.

The Aztecs practiced human sacrifice around the 14th-16th centuries though. That’s probably the closest to what people normal think that it is. Of course that was all wrapped up in relgion and cultural power politics as most of these things are.

Oh, they still make them. Or Wal-Mart bought all the remaining stock, because I saw a bunch of bags of them being sold there yesterday.

My most hated candies at Halloween were Good & Plenty’s, those generic hard candies that had no taste, and the religious candies that some of the more Baptist homes in my neighborhood would give out.

The worst thing to get, though, were the Chick tracts. I hated those things. There was always at least one family in the neighborhood that would give them out to try and scare kids away from Halloween fun. Bastards.

My favorite part of Halloween was coming home, sitting with my sisters and sorting out our candy. Everything got put into piles.

And then the trading started…

Yep, that’s one of my best memories too and of course stealing my brother’s good stuff while he slpet heh. No wonder why we had s sibling rivalry.

How about those people who thought it was a good idea to hand out homemade treats. Caramel apples or rice crispy treats. My mom always made me toss them in the trash. She said they could have razor blades in them.

My mom was obviously a terrible mom.
She didn’t worry much about razor blades.
But honestly, the chocolate was the best stuff; to heck with the popcorn balls.
They got tossed simply because they were awful.

You know growing up in the small town of Yountville..There really weren’t any houses to trick or treat.. Mostly farm houses spread over many miles in the Valley..
My friends and I used to go to the Veterans Home.. Those old WW1 and WW2 vets loved to give us candy.. I think we all enjoyed it..The smiles on their faces were just the best…Tonight it still brings a tear to my eyes…There is nothing greater than an American Hero smiling on Halloween giving out candy.. Those old guys were the best..God bless our Vets tonight in Yountville

“Look, dear, a crazy kook! This must be their mating season! The male puffs up his chest and yells gibberish about the supernatural through this amplification device to attract a female!”

I used to hitchhike a lot in the late 70’s and once got a lift from a young fellow who mentioned within the first few minutes that he was a born-again Christian.

I just though “well, God bless him for pickimg me up” and tried to keep the topic of conversation off Christianity.

But his main topic of discussion was how he met women at the prayer meeting, took them home, got them drunk and had sex with them. That seemed to be how he met women.

I could only think of the preacher from “The Grapes of Wrath” and began to realize that there is often a wide gap between professing a faith and actually keeping to it.

Slumbering Behemoth Stinks Sun, Oct 31, 2010 4:26:34pm

As spooky traditions go, I’d really rather do something like this on Halloween:

On New Year’s Eve, after a ritual Shinto ceremony to purify the Namahage masks, selected local men turn into monsters for a night. Disappearing into the mountains for a time, they return shortly thereafter in full monster countenances. Roaring menacingly, they dance around bonfires, play taiko drums and visit each house in the village, shouting: “any misbehaving kids live here?” They then scare children in the houses, telling them not to be lazy or cry, though little children often do burst into tears. It is the ritual of the fathers or husbands to intercede on their family’s behalf, plying the Namahage with food and saké.

My Dad’s gig on Halloween was a talking pumpkin. This was the 70’s so it was quite the techno wonder back then. He’d put the speaker behind the pumpkin and sit behind a curtain in the window. Then he would ‘talk’ to the kids. It became a neighborhood thing to do over the years and Mom always had to buy tons of candy because of all the people who brought their kids.

For the moon never beams without bringing me dreams
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
And the stars never rise but I feel the bright eyes
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
And so, all the night-tide, I lie down by the side
Of my darling- my darling- my life and my bride,
In the sepulchre there by the sea,
In her tomb by the sounding sea.

Wasn’t it while celebrating Halloween that she decided to have a naked hookup with a guy she just met? Apparently those human sacrifices stopped at some point between then and now, and she reasoned celebrating Halloween is ok.

Or she is just a completely hypocritical liar. That too.

Those masks smelled awful, IIRC.

There was no hole for the nostrils or mouth, so you exhaled right into the mask, then smelled your own warm breath. Bleh.

I don’t remember my childhood Halloween costumes, except for the year I wanted to be a matador—with sword. My parents vetoed that idea, as they were sure I’d use it if someone responded to “Trick or Treat!” with “Trick!”

Anyway, I stopped trick-or-treating at age 10. We had just moved to Fun Is Prohibited City, and they moved trick-or-treating to Sunday AFTERNOON that year because there was a scare about some alleged serial murderer who wasn’t even attacking kids. I didn’t see any fun to be had in daylight trick-or-treating.

Then he would ‘talk’ to the kids. It became a neighborhood thing to do over the years and Mom always had to buy tons of candy because of all the people who brought their kids.

Nine years ago, I was in a play whose first scene included an exploding pumpkin. We asked our #1 tech guy (an engineer by trade, but a red-headed one, meaning he had a hell of a mischievous streak) if he could rig that to explode every night and quickly be reassembled. He figured it out, built the whole thing—and still uses it at his house on Halloween.
