("What is your opinion of hell houses??")
Hell houses is more justice to children during Halloween THAN candy and other haunted houses mocking god on that evil holiday.

I don't know what hell houses are, but from the simple fact that a letter s has been aded to the word house, I would have to assume there are more than one of them,therefore the third word should be 'are' and not 'is'
Lucretius: Hell houses are fear-mongering "funhouses" that church organizations build for Halloween in some ludicrous attempt at a "scared straight" program. They typically depict souls in Hell for all manner of "crimes", like teen pregnancy, drugs, giving mom the finger, etc.
As for mocking god, I have never once, in all the years seen any kid show up looking for candy dressed as god.
I just had a brilliant idea.
Let's build a hell house for Hallowe'en, depicting all sorts of gruesome tortures, and let all the fundies drag their kids through it. And then at the end have someone leap out dressed as a Space Marine saying, "And all this could be yours if you renounce your pathetic sheep-god and switch to the worship of the Gods of Chaos! KILL BURN MAIM! and all that."
The look on their faces... would be PRICELESS.
No..candy and haunted houses is not mocking god.
This is mocking god:
"Nany nany boo boo, God sticks his head in doo doo!"
Yeah, forget actually making kids happy and content. We need to scare the shit out of them in some vague attempt to get them to convert to a belief system out of fear!

You mean when people mock god he can't take it? If people make fun of god, then he can deal with it and you have no need to be offended.
I think "god" is a projection of yourself you've made up hence why you are offended. Because they are mocking you.
Fuck you, hell houses are just the latest incarnation of fundamentalist scare tactics that have been used against children since the fucking dark ages. It's nothing more than mind control. For fuck's sake, Halloween doesn't have anything at all to do with what it was created for in the first place centuries ago, so if god exists I doubt even he would care much.
@ Encolpius:
Nice, but better idea: put them through it, then at the end have a guy in a Jesus costume tell them that absolutely none of it is true.
Dressing up like KiLaina or, hmm, a Tokyo Mew Mew girl is mocking God?
Fuck your god, then; I'll take my hot cosplay women and men and leave you to rant to the empty corner.

Shound I go for the Sisteen Chapel "Creator" look, or the "Rasslin' with Jacob" look?
You know I love Halloween and I have a haunted house in my garage for the kids, but Hell Houses are just disgusting. The ones I have heard about show people having abortions and then being sucked down to hell by Satan.
It's very disturbing and they think we are the evil ones on Halloween.
"Hell Houses" are designed to DELIBERATELY TERRORIZE CHILDREN, and contain scenes that no right-thinking parent would allow their child to watch on television, much less in a dark hall with a bunch of strangers. Any parent who takes their child to one of these "Hell Houses" ought to be arrested for psychological abuse of a child.

Best idea ever! :D
I want to get some candy that mocks God! Would they be shaped like Communion wafers? Or would they be crosses with a chocolate Easter bunny on 'em? Sacrilicious. And haunted houses mocking God would be just swell too. The animatronic corpses popping out of their grave could say "Ahahahahaha, I'm rising from the dead before the Second Coming of Christ, in flagrant disregard of the Gospels! Ahahahahahahah!!!". And there could be a ghost that says "I am a ghost, but I am not the Holy Ghost. OoooOooooOooo." And it would end with a death metal band singing "Fuck Your God" and thrashing on Satan's own electric guitar.
That would be the best Halloween ever.
Hell houses are a mockery of Paganism. I went to one, and I felt very sick and scared. They have models of fake bloody babies for fucks sake! Now, christians are the real scaries on halloween, especially the wackos runnin hellhouses.
It's only an evil holiday if you are a retarded, stuck-up prude. Oh, and by the way, all my Christian friends celebrate Halloween, and my old church held a costume party every October 31st.
[EDIT] And Hellhouses are for mentally weak peons who condemn real haunted houses(since they don't have the guts to walk through them), and want to boost their egos by viewing what their enemies will suffer in their sick, cosmic revenge fantasies.
Nothing beats when I saw a non-fundie Christian dressed as Spider-Man arguing with an anti-Halloween fundie protester in Salem, Massachusetts, while his friend dressed as Captain America posed for a picture for us. When someone working at the Witch Museum there mentioned them, she said that their cult (she didn't call it that, but that's what it is) was probably descended from none other than that of the Puritans.
Haunted houses don't mock God, they mock the devil, monsters, and evil. Halloween is the greatest tool against the supernatural and the real reasons Fundies hate it.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
