Halloween has become more secularized than any other holiday barring Arbor Day.
I amuse myself.

It's so weird trying to explain Halloween to people who didn't grow up with it beetnemesis - 01/11/2011 02:26:52 PM 704 Views
For a sec I was gonna go into the specifics for you... Dannymac - 01/11/2011 04:32:18 PM 332 Views
But its always just been an excuse to make a fire on the top of a hill. Stephen - 01/11/2011 05:32:57 PM 320 Views

I'm not going to do a history lesson, but... Isaac - 01/11/2011 09:22:59 PM 351 Views
What would you say is the proper plural form of Jesus? Nate - 01/11/2011 09:51:31 PM 356 Views
Claudii is an established plural, actually. Legolas - 01/11/2011 10:02:52 PM 416 Views
I want to reread Lamb: The story of Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal now beetnemesis - 01/11/2011 11:38:26 PM 419 Views
Jesī *NM* Praziquantel - 01/11/2011 10:06:29 PM 197 Views
Minor addendum: it seems to be a defective fourth declension. The plural should still be Iesūs. Tom - 01/11/2011 10:44:08 PM 316 Views
Ah, interesting. Praziquantel - 02/11/2011 10:22:37 AM 295 Views
The source? Any good Latin grammar should do. *NM* Tom - 02/11/2011 05:06:31 PM 131 Views
Also, a massive number of names follow 3rd declension. Tom - 02/11/2011 05:30:16 PM 253 Views
He is singular in nature Isaac - 01/11/2011 10:08:43 PM 344 Views
Ha. Nate - 01/11/2011 10:14:25 PM 271 Views

I thing attempting to discuss the plurality of Jesus precludes any serious discussion Stephen - 01/11/2011 10:41:01 PM 288 Views
Well, Zombie Jesus seems a legit matter for theological discussions Isaac - 02/11/2011 01:03:38 AM 268 Views
Lots of Mexican guys in one room could still be "Jesuses". *NM* Tom - 01/11/2011 10:47:03 PM 104 Views
So is it Jesūs, Jesii, or Jesuses then? Isaac - 02/11/2011 01:04:58 AM 266 Views
Well, in English I'd assume it's Jesuses. In Latin it would be Iesūs. Tom - 02/11/2011 01:06:09 AM 288 Views
As I mentioned above, the Latin plural would not be Jesi, but Jesūs. Tom - 01/11/2011 10:46:18 PM 271 Views
maybe his name is a plural anyway *NM* Yunalesca - 01/11/2011 11:13:03 PM 132 Views
Halloween isn't a Christian holiday, at least not originally. Tom - 01/11/2011 10:26:58 PM 338 Views
I was giving the abrigded version Isaac - 02/11/2011 01:01:07 AM 256 Views
Oh, well of course not. Tom - 02/11/2011 01:08:33 AM 278 Views
I know all of this, and care not. beetnemesis - 01/11/2011 11:37:12 PM 251 Views
Again halloween is a world thing, not US property Stephen - 02/11/2011 12:01:25 AM 280 Views
Not according to the Defense of Halloween Act of 1997! We own all IP rights and residuals. Tom - 02/11/2011 01:12:22 AM 294 Views
I honestly wasn't making it a US thing beetnemesis - 02/11/2011 02:43:59 PM 337 Views
Pagans and Satanists care a great deal about religion around Halloween. Tom - 02/11/2011 01:10:42 AM 293 Views
All Saints' Day is huge in New Orleans, as well. Lots of replastering and whitewashing cemeteries. *NM* Ghavrel - 02/11/2011 02:14:40 AM 116 Views
Thanks, Isaac ßelals Girl - 02/11/2011 03:08:14 AM 281 Views

Pet Peeve: Halloween isn't a holiday...its a celebration *NM* Jeordam - 01/11/2011 10:00:35 PM 130 Views
US Halloween is neither... Jacob - 01/11/2011 10:08:10 PM 317 Views
It seems internationally understood from what I can tell. Tom - 01/11/2011 10:48:02 PM 308 Views
Aren't morbid celebrations to ward away spirits pretty common throughout the world? *NM* Ghavrel - 01/11/2011 11:20:45 PM 130 Views
That's not what Halloween is in the US, though. Not anymore. *NM* beetnemesis - 01/11/2011 11:34:27 PM 116 Views
But Halloween isn't the property of you guys. Stephen - 02/11/2011 12:00:11 AM 278 Views
