Jan 20, 2012 - Yeah I know right? Cause all of this is so real and believable. A truly legitimate news source saying blasphemous things like this is offensive.

Jan 29, 2012 - As I understand it, Algol isn't a real demon or spirit. Algol is, however a star in the constellation Perseus located roughly where Medusa's head would be. It's a shortened form of the Arabic phrase Ra's al Ghul, which means "The Demon's Head" and refers to Medusa's severed head and is also the name of a pretty cool Batman villian. By the by, the Arabic word "ghul" which means demon is the root of the English word "ghoul"

Feb 16, 2012 - Many christians in this day and age believe that Halloween is an evil holiday intended to summon evil spirits. Except that it's not; it's about appeasing evil spirits, not empowering them. It always has been. But of course, we live in the land of I-do-whatever-my-fundamentalist-preacher-tells-me-instead-of-thinking-for-myself, so every year we get people protesting Halloween under the impression that it's expected of them to do so.

philthy122 Says:

Mar 17, 2012 - True, but then again all of the western 'holidays' (Xmas, Easter, Halloween, New Years...) are based in superstitious pagan rituals that have at one time been hijacked by religion and are now the property of the cash register.

cyanmanta Says:

Mar 17, 2012 - Exactly.

gagaplex Says:

May 4, 2012 - The funny thing is that Christmas, which this is obviously a play on, is itself filled to the brim with Pagan traditions. So they could just as easily have done a bit on Christmas itself.
