Why are these things considered "evil" ?

Symbols gain meaning and take on cultural power.

 

[The Jackal]

Skulls

The pitchfork welding devil with a tail and horns

Demons that look menacing with teeth, mean eyes, horns

Halloween

and whatever else you can think of along these lines??

I mean in biblical and reality senses it makes no sense right? A skull = human body, our heads. The pitchfork devil is made up, not even real or close to it. Demons, the way they're portrayed, not real in that sense. Halloween is said to be ALL evil, when all of it is made up. It's a make believe system that is all considered evil like it's actually real. If it's not real, it's imagination, how it it considered evil?

Skulls aren't really considered evil. If anything they are more likely to be mentioned when talking about biker gansgs

for the pitchfork devil that's obvious. It represents the devil and the devils in christianity is evil

for demons the same thing appl above.

halloween is seen to some retarded people as the devils birthday. Goes hand and hand with the other point

We love to put distinctions on things, "this is this, that is that" when realy this and that are one

well skulls aren't considered evil but those that do evil took on that symbol to represent what they felt evil should be or represent..

the whole desc of the devil is based off man's thoughts on how the "devil' should look, because the scriptures described him totally different.... Halloween is based on paganism such as xmas & easter, get you a history book & look up those holidays & you will see they stem from pagan gods or traditions that are not of the Most High.... the catholics even admitted to embracing paganism into the so called church (along w/their false doctrine...) thats in the last two million years history book....

I don't know much about the history of xmas or easter but Halloween I know a little about so I see how it stemmed. I just find this strange to think these things evil because it's not what it really is.

I went to church a few years back and a man came in who had been for like 2 months. He's a tattoo kind of guy, and he got a new piece on his arm that had skulls with a piece of scripture on it. I don't remember the scripture but I remember many people talking behind his back saying that the skulls were evil and he was evil and tattoos are evil etc. When I wore a shirt with a skull on it, an MMA shirt, they said that it was evil to do so and not to wear it again. So I never understood that, I thought it was BS.

I find it stupid they use an image and label it as the evil of this. The NAME might be the right thing but the image isn't and I never understood it. Like Jesus, I see many Christians with a picture of Jesus or cross w/ Jesus on it in their homes and they love it. But the bible looks down on men with long hair, so why the hell does this "modern" Jesus have long hair? Obviously a made up man made image but strange they don't see that.

Maybe skulls are considered evil because people don't like to be reminded of death and their ultimate fate.

Yeah, those type of people get on my nerves - so focused on the minute rules of their religion that they forget the spirit of the whole thing.

Was that a Pentecostal type church? I have a friend who got freaked out when they told her that her chin stud was a sign of her alliance with the devil. She tried to take it out, but it was stuck and she got even more freaked out.

What you have, really, is people confusing their Western mores with Christianity itself.

those ppl you speak of are talked about in the scriptures as well, they don't follow the righteousness of the Most High, so they go about establishing what's right & what's wrong in their eyes & try to put it off as something the LORD looks down on ... there are to be no images of Christ whatsover...be it black, white, green or purple, so him having long hair isn't the issue, the entire image itself is... anybody w/some sense knows exactly who those so called pictures of christ are.. cesar borgia (popes son) & the other fella, can't think of his name now...

Paul made that statement about long hair while speaking to the gentiles, no place in scriptures speaks of long hair on a man being against any laws or commandments of the Most High... that was another opinion of Paul just like being alone to serve the Most High was his opinion not an actual fact, if so we would've seen other prophets &/or apostles speak on the same subject... Just like with Moses, he was the one to say it was ok to give a written divorce but Christ said, it was not so that divorce was meant to be...Moses came up w/that on his own... this is why its important that ppl know about the two or more witnesses to confirm facts according to scripture... everyone has an opinion & everyone is right in their own mind but there's only one truth according to the Most High.

It's like Santa Claus for adults.
