Don't celebrate Halloween. It's evil. Remember and celebrate the Protestant Reformation, the Truth's triumph and the greatest incident in the entire Western civilization thus of the enture world, only next to the Christianization of Europe.
You are wrong. People everywhere converted into Christianity freely because Christianity was outstanding good and excellent. Many of us got killed by becoming Christian because the leaders were evil but we never gave up on Christianity. God helped us. The Christian workers provided literacy to all peoples; they created written languages. You guys had been just child-killing savage barbarians before the Church educated you and taught you God's Word and how to read and write. Today's Westerners and full-stomached youth don't become Christian because you prefer immorality. You need to repent of your barbarism.

Some did. But others, especially in Europe, did so because they were told to on pain of death.

Probably not as many as Christians killed for not becoming Christian, as done by numerous Roman Emperors of the 4th century onward, Charlemagne, etc. That's not even getting into the Crusades, of course.
The Christian workers provided literacy to all peoples; they created written languages.
Pagans could have done that too, and they did do that, since the same Latin alphabet you read and write was devised by pagans borrowing it from other pagans (Greeks).
Damn. David Barton is trying to rewrite American history and here's Grace, trying to rewrite xtian history.
You need to repent of your barbarism.
You need to go fuck yourself, Grace.
"People everywhere converted[...]because Christianity was outstanding good and excellent."
Yeah, tell that to Native American families.
Not to mention that I, like many people born into Catholic families, was baptized into Christianity before I was able to properly speak.
"Remember and celebrate the Protestant Reformation, the Truth's triumph and the greatest incident in the entire Western civilization thus of the enture world, only next to the Christianization of Europe."
The reformation is evil because it caused million to leave the One True Religion, the Catholic Curch.
"the greatest incident in the entire Western civilization thus of the enture world, only next to the Christianization of Europe."
I find this telling. They are saying that the church is more important than the resurrection of Jesus. They worship the institution over the point of that institution
And yet, after a thousand years of oppression, pagans are still here and will be here long after christianity is gone, one way or another.
Halloween is not my local tradition, but just to piss those bozos off, it will get my support.
Asenheil und Wanensegen, Schwester und Brüder!
Funny, I think we Visigoths did pretty well in our barbarism. And between the latin alphabet (see pre-Christianity Rome, and then Catholic Rome), Arabic Numerals (thank you, Moors), and Greek Philosophy (loved by early Catholic scholars, and the roots of natural philosophy, which evolved into science as we know it) and mathematics (required learning in all of classical education), I think you may be a little misinformed about the spread of knowledge in Europe. Which, by the by, is not the entirety of the world (the Chinese were no slouches in mathematics, astronomy, philosophy, and alchemy [pre-chemistry] themselves, and even the Maya had gotten around to the whole "Geometry and the number zero" thing before the majority of the 'enlightened' Europeans).
Now, if you'll excuse me, I have Halloween clearance stuff to buy.

*looks in history book*
Funny Grace, I don't see that anywhere. It says here many people were forced into your religion or they were killed. What book are you looking at?
"Don't celebrate Halloween. It's evil."
Okay, Grace Pickle Barrel Kumquat...:

...we'll just celebrate 'Nightmare Night' then. >:D
Today's Fundies and weak-stomached Josh Buggars don't become Christian because you prefer immorality. You need to take those broom handles out of your arses.
we never gave up on Christianity. God helped us
No, The Emperor Constantine helped you, and it's doubtful that God had anything to do with it - more like politics.
"People everywhere converted into Christianity freely because Christianity was outstanding good and excellent."
Tell the Native Americans, especially those in South and Central America, that one.
Grace, civilization has moved on. We are beyond Bronze Age savagery and mythology. Writing was developed all over the world in different cultures, only a few of which were Christian. You need to repent of your one-very-narrow-track mind.
Learn history. Christianity was spread by sword. Convert or die. And you call nonChristians barbarians? Your ilk brought us witch trials, Salem, the Inquisition, Crusades, etc. Go repent of your own barbarism you fucking hypocrite
Remember and celebrate the Protestant Reformation
Part of what this person is getting at is the little known fact that October 31st is "Reformation Day", commemorating Martin Luther's supposed nailing of his 95 theses of Protestantism on a church door in 1517.
Tough luck for Luther that his day and Halloween are on the same date.

A reminder to everyone that protestants consider Catholics to be just as pagan as witches, satanists, and druids :V
And All Hallows Eve is very Catholic.
@pyro
That's John Joseco's humanisation of Derpy Hooves suddenly appearing in the Apple Bobbing tub, wearing paper bags, and pulling out the plug (letting the water run out) from the "MLP:FiM" episode "Luna Eclipsed ", during Nightmare Night, their equivalent of Halloween. (6)_(9)
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
