Thanks, but no thanks
If today is a reminder to you that there exists a reality beyond what our naked eyes can see, then I am all for it.
If today is an encouragement to use our imagination and creativity to express that good and evil both exist, then I am all for it.
But if today is about who turns out to be the scariest, the most cruel, looks the most gruesome…
If today is just another excuse to party and get wasted till dawn,
If today is about confusing your kids to do things that you have been telling them not to do for the rest of the year, namely, to get as much candies from strangers,
Then thanks,
But no thanks.

It is so hard to draw a clear line these days as the “world” has never stopped crossing it visibly and invisibly. It is not easy to tell our kids to be “different” than others….but we need to know clearly why we need to be different first!!!

Agree. Vincent, I think the more important question is, why we as Christians should have a different worldview in the first place.
I don’t oppose we dressup our kids. But I am reluctant to follow what everybody is doing, all in the name of “cute”.
「得意」唔係大晒。我更擔心信徒家長的「信仰低能」。

Christians tend to do stuffs but didn’t ask the reason behind it. This is kind of scary when they go to church every Sunday and don’t why they are here!
