(Please delete the other thread, there is a song included that I wanted to stretch a point I was making)

So for halloween, I went as I said I was going to be. Painted my face, wore the clothes, and had my trench coat on.

Well, My friend and I were going to help support the church that I normally go to. And for respect for the pastor and others around us, we did not wear the shirts while we were there.

So what happend? We get there, and the pastor asked how I was doing, shook my hand, and wanted to talk to my friend and I in his office.

So we were in there, he asked what was up with the face paint. And no fuckin duh, it was halloween, and we were going as our favorite Acid Rappers. He looked up the lyrics and almost went apeshit on us.

Now for starters, he did research, but he obviously did not do research on BEHIND the fuckin music. And was comparing the lyrics to the Bible.

Guys, now I know why you hate us. And im starting to.



Oh yeah, and if that was not enough....

Oh yeah, and let me also point out that there were girls there dressed as witches, demons, and everything else. But he points us out, not knowing wtf it is, and gets on to us...We diddnt even say the bands name to everyone. When anyone asked us who we were, the name "Juggalo" came out of our mouthes. Both of us had total respect to everyone around us.

Well I wouldn't go so far as to say that things like this make people "hate" Christians. It was an individual's choice and he should be the one people shake their fingers at when it comes to judging the appropriateness of Halloween costumes and not the whole religion entirely.

Really, I don't understand the strange double standards some people place on Halloween. It's a pagan holiday to begin which was adopted by many other cultures much like many of the traditions of Easter and Christmas.

The fact that somehow the entire church found out about what happened upsets me. Honestly we had respect for everyone around us and turned out shirts inside out. But its not like we ran around acting like idiots, we did what we normally did, and somehow it was like we were going to hell for it.

And what really bothered me was that my pastor said "Dale, we really need you and Neil for Drama. Have you two felt good spiritually"?

Both of us nodded, and in my mind I told myself "Well, I needed the church too, like a simple job or something, but did I get that? No".

He basically contradicted himself when he talked to us. We diddnt mean harm, and he made a huge fuckin deal out of it, and now that everyone knows about it. It shows how much they really cared about us.

So screw it, My heart is my church.
