Halloween is considered by many Satanists to be a high religious holiday. Despite this, large groups of Satanists boycotted Halloween this year, complaining that the holiday has become too commercial.

An anonymous spokesperson for the group said, “The holiday is suppose to be about summoning demons and unleashing them on the lesser faiths. Having séances to consult ancestors. Drinking excessively and having orgies. All of these core practices have been forgotten by the younger generations.”

Scott Peterson, High Priest Elect for a Vermont Satanic cult disagrees. “Today, electric lighting is replacing the traditional candles, and Halloween gifts and cards are big business. Older cult members complain that Halloween is becoming too commercial and is losing its religious meaning - the same complaints that are made about Christmas. But for children and adults alike, Halloween is still a frightful and memorable family occasion, a time for evil and misbehaving. May this Festival of Evil darken your life, and may your future be gloomy!”

“I don’t actually think faith has anything to do with it! I don’t think Halloween has ever actually been about religion at all, its just about fulfilling a need that humans have – chocolate and sugar – and social interaction and creating a desired emotional response including the desire for material gain. So when people complain that Halloween has become too commercial, I say its ALWAYS been commercial!”, Ivan Herodotus of Transylvania told EGI.

• mosquito asparagus
• CASEY LUSKIN IS A QUOTE MINING CRACKPOT
• EGI news vampire

I’m rather proud of the first two.

A couple of years ago I wouldn’t have done nearly this well…

You Scored an A

You got 10/10 questions correct. It’s pretty obvious that you don’t make basic grammatical errors. If anything, you’re annoyed when people make simple mistakes on their blogs. As far as people with bad grammar go, you know they’re only human. And it’s humanity and its current condition that truly disturb you sometimes.

• We bought a new Toyota 4 Runner on Friday.   The kids have named it “Steve”.
• Someone at another office accidentally cc’d the entire company on an email.  35 different people felt the need to respond to the email asking why they got it or complaining about all the stupid people doing the reply to all.  It reminds me of the honor system email virus I saw a few years back [telling you to delete all the important files on your machine and forward the email to everyone in your address book].  It scared me to think that these people not only have jobs, but that they have jobs with my company.
• I told my boss that if he wants to keep track of my productivity, he should monitor the number of songs I listen to on my iPod, because the number of songs directly correlates to how much real work I get done.  Today I’ve only listened to 2 or3 songs, so I haven’t gotten $#!+ done.
