What matters in the long run?

It is almost humorous where my last post ended because it could tie into this blog. My first question is, what matters in the long run? In reference to my last blog, part of the point was that there seems to be little to no profit to celebrating Halloween. On the contrary, it seems if have detrimental affects in the long run. What really matters in life? Fame or wealth? Well, that tends to be the common belief, but what is the difference between a very wealthy dead man and a very poor dead man?

The book that I would save would be the Bible.

The Bible is believed by, a seemly dwindling group of people, to be the Word of God. By that, I mean, that it seems fewer and fewer people around the world proclaim that the Bible is the written Word of God. It is disappointing to think about that. The Bible is one of the oldest books the world has and I think the most valuable. Some people might claim that it is simply not true. However, history has proven the Bible to be accurate. There have been writings found which often state the same thing that a certain part of the Bible does. Evolutionists have actively tried to disprove the Bible, but they are never able to. In fact, it is interesting to think about what evolutionists believe and how they try to support it.

Evolutionists can only make their theories work by bending or completely ignoring laws of physics and science. Can you look at the trees outside during this fall, see the beauty that is painted there and simply think nothing of it? What about oceans or mountains? How could something as wonderful and amazing as the earth, and our entire solar system for that matter, explode from a speck of nothing and to arrange itself so perfectly distance-wise from the sun that it allows life to spontaneously grown from nothing? How is that the earth is perfect for human life? If you moved the earth even a few degrees out of its current orbit,it would either be to hot, or to cold for life. How can something come into being from nothing, and if evolution does happen, why hasn't it continued? Shouldn't there be a race of something better than humans at this point?

The Bible provides explanations for these questions and others. It has answers to questions of what matters in life. For example, Ecclesiastes 12:13 says, "Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man."

Halloween? What's the point?

Personally, I do not see the point in Halloween. Sure, kids love getting a bucket full of candy, and they like dressing up, but do they know what Halloween is about? Some of its origins are from the Pagan Celts, a group of people known to perform human sacrifices at times to please their gods. The original intent of Halloween is to dress as evil spirits, demons, or adorn grotesque masks, in order to ward off evil spirits. Would people be so inclined to celebrate Halloween if they knew about its origins? I don't know. I would say that a lot of people would not care. Some would, and might stop celebrating it, and others would probably think about it for a while and maybe not celebrate the following Halloween, but then start up again the next year.



This is rather disturbing, isn't? Why do people enjoy dressing up like this? Is it just to make a mock of death? It certainly seems like Halloween is simply used today to make a mock of death. That people create the most horrific images they can think of and then show them to as many people as they can in hopes of showing them that they are not afraid of death. Or am I just crazy?

"Maybe I like Halloween because I get to put on a costume." some may retort. Sure, but why is Halloween the only day you have available to put on a costume, seems like a meager excuse. "I do it because it's fun." Why is it fun? I think that people have a misconception of what Halloween stands for. They dress up in costumes, go out and try to get candy and do so in the name of Halloween. Well, while I'm not condemning people that hand out candy, I wonder how many people actually know what it is.

One other thing to notice is how it happens, costumes for example: What are kid's costumes like?

Innocent right? How about a ten year old? What about a teenager? Getting a little less innocent and more disgusting each year right? For girls, it gets to be more and more seductive. Guys is more and more disgusting, until finally you end up with something like this.


Pretty disgusting isn't?
Yes, I know that not every costume is like this, but the majority tend to slant in this direction after time. Is there any point to it?
