The druids had practiced human sacrifice. Over 500 skeletal remains were found at Stone hendge from the scrifices they would do. Believe it or not, in hard-core satanism, human sacrifice still goes on today. Poeple are just so oblivious to it and don't realize that it goes on. Hallowe'en is a "real special" day to satanists and is one of their sabbits. Hallowe'en is a real sacred day to them. Animal sacrifices are quite frequent on each of the sabbit days in the occult.

Funny, I didn't see any evidence of human sacrifice or hundreds of skeletal remains when I visited Stonehenge. And few, if any, scholars still believe Druids had anything to do with the origination of Stonehenge.
The belief in evil spirits didn't happen until Christianity tried to push out the other systems of practice. It's one of the reasons we have costumes, big bonfires, trick or treating and Jack O' Lanterns.
Samhain was an opportunity to let "spirits warm themselves by the fire before winter." Of course, Christians couldn't abide by this becuase there was no God, Jesus and Holy Ghost.
I'm also going to state I'm no expert so some darker practices probably happened, but I highly doubt it's as bad as the Christians wanted to paint it.
You should have stopped after the first sentence. It's the only part that's right. After that, it's an outright lie. Only 4 skeletons have ever been found at Stonehenge. One was possibly an execution, one was probably a Roman soldier. The other two have been lost, but may (repeat, MAY) have been contemporary with the site. There is actually much doubt whether the Druids had anything at all to do with Stonehenge. Druidism is not Satanism. Halloween is not a satanic "special day", it was originally a Celtic end-of-harvest festival "Samhain" (Celtics are not Druids or Satanists) but became a Christian festival when Popes Gregory III amd IV moved All Saints Day to November 1st (at that time, the day was presumed to start at the previous sunset).
Umm, dude - I wouldn't play that card if I were you. The fundamental tenet of Christianity is that you can undo all the sins of the world by human sacrifice. They reckon just one is enough rather than lots, but it's still human sacrifice. Trying to argue around that, to quote Pratchett, is just haggling over the price. It's not even enough to say that it's OK because no Christian alive today is required to sacrifice anybody; by "accepting Jesus" you are stating that you support and condone the notion of human sacrifice for your own gain, which is every bit as bad as actually doing it.
One: Only Satanist perform human sacrifice? Then what the hell was God going on about to Abraham? "Kill your kid for me, dude! I'd totally love it!"
Two: Halloween is not a holiday to Satanists. If you go by LaVeyan standards, the main holiday that you should celebrate--the principle one--is your own birthday.
Three: Sabbath (or Sabbat) should not be spelled to look like it rhymes with "rabbit".
Four: Animal sacrifice is a part of the occult? Christians were doing it for centuries, too.
Five: You're an idiot.
That's strange. Of all the years I've celebrated Halloween with my family, we've never sacrificed animals. My dog is still alive and we have no intention of killing her any time soon. And we're not Satanists, either. As a matter of fact, we're Christians. Paranoid, much?
We never said the Christian faith was the ONLY stupid cruel religion.
How old is Stonehenge believed to be? Over 4000 years, I believe. Twice the age of your religion.
There were sacrifices, shit not only happens it's been happening forever everywhere.
At least that shits over with now. When do we loose the Bible now? There's a book that caused MUCH MORE shit to happen.
The Romans were quite efficient at snuffing the Druids, thus we have very little information about them that's verifiable. The Druids contributed to the situation by forbidding any written records.
The general folklore concerning Druidry mentions human sacrifice, but then again, so does the bible.
All Hallow's Eve.
It was suppose to be the day before a holy day.
That somehow causes ghosts and such to run wild for that one night.
Look could someone get me better info on All Hallow's Eve.
Do you mean Stonehenge? That was a Pagan place, not a Satanical.
Most human sacrifices today are done in corporate downsizing and layoffs. In a time and age where people often characterize themselves with what they do professionally, it should be a crime to sack someone, merely to get a bit more profit.
Who are the most satanical today? People who dress up at Halloween, or people who throw others to the curb, to make a few dollars more?
> Over 500 skeletal remains were found at Stone hendge from the scrifices they would do.<
Reminds me of the joke;
A small Piper airplane has crashed into a (ethnic of choice) cemetery. So far 800 bodies have been recovered.
500 is a drop in the bucket compared to all the people of Canaan slaughtered, with your god's full approval, in the book of Joshua. Oh wait, that's different, right?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
