because it's anti-Catholic and encourages yobbos to go around begging for money and lighting fires.

To to mention the fact that people, even children are having FUN. Which should of course be banned.

hehe when i was a kid I was under the distinct impression that Guy Fawkes was the hero of the evening for trying to burn down parliament!

sashh · 23/10/2013 11:06

Now that IS an American invention.

Aksherly, all the witches were hanged round here as well!

AnaisHellWitch · 23/10/2013 11:18

Oh yes, dicso Jesus is ace.

You get a lot of this sort of "art" on the Landover Baptist Church Forum. That's an interesting one, the premise being that the forum members are all massive trolls and set up to provoke outrage from hapless newbies.

Burning witches is not an American invention: it was popular on the Continent. Except in Spain where they burnt heretics.

ScabbyOozingCarbuncle · 23/10/2013 11:20

How about some Jesus dress up fun!
Or just in time for Halloween...

But the American Puritans seemed even more enthusiastic about it! Grin

TEErickOrTEEreat · 23/10/2013 11:40

These paintings just prove that Jesus is everywhere.*

*For the record? I'm Jewish. Halloween Grin

FWIW, in quite a number of rural parishes in Ireland, bonfire night is in June, around midsummer's night, I think it's been claimed in the name of the feast day of Sts Peter and Paul?

Should be banned, in any case.

Fakebook · 23/10/2013 11:46

Yanbu. Lets ban everything that is remotely fun or enjoyable for families. Why should anyone have any fun in their lives? Life is about working and surviving each day, not stupid Americanised "holidays". Stupid people.

I like Woody Allen Jesus

My own personal Jesus?

ProudAS · 24/10/2013 12:27

I went to s catholic school and bonfire night was never discouraged. I could quite happily do without Halloween though.

SaskiaRembrandtVampireHunter · 24/10/2013 12:47

This is my favourite Jesus
