I read an interesting article this morning about Halloween, by Amity Schlaes.


Gleaned the following quotes to pique your interest. I found the article to be worth reading.


"In the U.S., we’ve been vigorously scrubbing our schools and other public spaces of traces of monotheistic religion for many decades now. Such scrubbing leaves a vacuum. The great self-deception of modern life is that nothing will be pulled into that vacuum."


"Parents can keep children away from religion, but they can’t stop children from believing in something."
Tell me, fellow clingers-on to monotheistic faith traditions, what do you do with Halloween?

Not much of anything now I've out grown going door to door asking for sweets.
