I was invited to twist balloons at a Halloween party sponsored by the local church.
In a previously asked question, the Answers community was solidly against the idea of calling a band that uses satanic imagery "Christian," despite the fact Satan is a Christian figure.
I am not Christian, but I don't understand how Christians can reject a rock-band because of it's satanic imagery, but celebrate a holiday with deep roots in the very same concepts.
I'm not asking this for personal reasons. I'm going to turn down the offer to work the party so I can take my girls trick or treating, and I'm neither in a "satanic" band, nor am I particularly fond of most bands that indulge in those themes. I'm just trying to reconcile this apparent discrepancy. I know other Christian groups are opposed to Halloween - how do those that are not opposed address this conflict?
