A Break From Christianity...

Apparently, Halloween is not only a night for young kiddos to take a short break from reality and retreat in to a fantasy world of super heroes and fairy princesses, but also for a few of us older ones to take a break from our foundational beliefs all together.

I'm not sure when it all happened, but it seems that Halloween now affords people with some sort of "free pass" to cast aside their Christian values and replace them with a lot of the things that are so stinky wrong with our culture today. Imagine this is you will...A normally respectful girl, proclaiming Christian, living what seems to be a fairly solid life. However, Halloween rolls around and somehow this same girl finds it perfectly ok to to put on some skimpy, cleavage-flashing (or more like nearly revealing the whole "show") costume. Slutty nurse, slutty cheerleader, slutty cop, slutty sailor, slutty angel, slutty devil...whatever the case may be, notice that there's a theme. Any other day of the year we would think it ridiculous and sinful to dress this way, but for whatever reason people feel as if God gives us pass on Halloween or is taking a nap and won't notice. He isn't Baal and He's not out on a long walk...He's seeing what's going on , and I feel pretty confident that He isn't happy about it.

I don't guess I can really come don't of those who aren't claiming affiliation with Jesus (at least not for the sake of this post,) but for those of you who represent Christ remember that we don't get "day's off." It's a full-time job. Put your clothes back on.
