Anyone else planning to hand out propaganda on Halloween?
THE Freedom from Religion Foundation has several excellent flyers to counteract Chick tracts.

7. I would sooner sponsor some activities for children in the local parks
Collect tree leaves, look for bugs, draw pictures...all toward a more serene life

8. Very bad idea, IMHO.
Pushing beliefs on strangers' children, possibly in opposition to what their parents are teaching them? I can't see that ending well.

11. Naah. Halloween is supposed to be fun . . . bringing politics into it . . .
Interferes with kids' pleasure without bringing any benefit. My kids are past Trick or Treating age (and we live somewhere they don't do Halloween) but whenever they would come back from their rounds with religious tracts instead of candy we'd point out that they actually had plenty of candy plus plus, and dumped the tracts into recycling without further ado.

Now if you want to talk about the politics of refined sugar overdoses in children, that's another story entirely.

12. Between putting razor blades in apples, and poisoning cookies, who has the time for printing
out propoganda.

Priorities people!

13. Wasted effort.
Kids will see it isn't candy and pitch it pronto.
