Like Christmas and having a tree. I know people who absolutely won&#39;t do it because they feel it&#39;s idolatry to have a tree in the house and decorate it with lights, etc. Which is ABSOLUTELY true if you&#39;re in danger of worshipping the tree. Or if it makes you nervous that you are sinning.<br /><br />Doesn&#39;t mean they should get in your face and tell you not to unless you are festooning said tree with &quot;Satan is Lord&quot; ornaments.<br /><br />(Oh, I wonder if those would sell? Or atheist Christmas ornaments? Hm.)Mrs. Chttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15047347624037697311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-915703366269834950.post-53362393018392340942009-07-18T13:30:41.162-05:002009-07-18T13:30:41.162-05:00Um, these ladies shouldn&#39;t be arguing over Halloween costume selections if Halloween is from the Devil in the first place.<br /><br />YES, I really think that, but I don&#39;t see what that really has to do with homeschooling. And you know... I think we can be tolerant of people who don&#39;t have these convictions and are just playing dress-ups and candy without all the pagan worship and stuff. Even my own church (Pentecostal!) has a &quot;harvest&quot; celebration that &quot;just so happens&quot; to coincide with that day. So they can &quot;witness&quot; to people outside the church.<br /><br />Well, I&#39;d do it differently if I were in charge. I&#39;m not secretive about it. I don&#39;t ARGUE about it, though. There are just so many other things to deal with in my opinion before we get to handling that stuff. A lot of that sort of thing is a matter of personal conviction or culture and not necessarily a Bible absolute.Mrs. Chttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15047347624037697311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-915703366269834950.post-7944315537163174362009-07-18T12:17:28.989-05:002009-07-18T12:17:28.989-05:00Did a cartwheel for you.
