Creationist Group Wants You To Tell Trick-Or-Treaters They’re Going To Hell
These fake $1 million bills warn of all the different things that could send you to Hell -and one evangelical group wants you to give them out to trick-or-treaters on Halloween.
Anti- Halloweencreationists have some ideas about the holiday that could turn your home into the least popular trick-or-treat stop in the neighborhood.
Instead of handing out candy, Answers in Genesis wants you to give trick-or-treaters fake $1 million bills that warn children of the fiery hell that awaits them.
“Have you ever lied, stolen or used God’s name in vain?” reads part of a fake bill with Noah’s Arkon the front. “The penalty for your crimes against God is deathand eternal hell.”
A bill featuring a picture of a dinosauris just as pleasant.
“Have you ever lied, stolen, hated or dishonored your parents? Have you looked with lust? God says that’s the same as committing adultery in your heart,” a message on the bill reads as it describes the Ten Commandments.
And if you’ve broken any of these rules, you’re doomed: “The penalty of sin is deathand eternity in hell.”
Don’t try to hide, either, because “God knows your every thought, wordand deedand your conscience confirms that you’re guilty.”
Along with selling packs of the Hell Money, Answers in Genesis is also hawking a “ Halloween Learnand Share Kit” which contains both sets of bills, a DVD with an anti-Halloween lectureand an anti-Halloween book that appears to be a printed version of an essayfrom the evangelical Christian organization’s website.
According to the essay, Halloween has “evil intent,” “considerable paganism”and “the glorification of sensuality, deathand demons.” The group urges churches to host social functions on October 31 to prevent kids from celebrating.
“If a Christian alternative is not possible in your location, then take advantage of this opportunity to share with people the message of the gospeland how Jesus Christ has conquered deathand the forgiveness that can only be found in God when you greet ‘trick or treaters,’” the essay reads.

Afaic, giving this crap out to unsuspecting children is downright sick. I remember my daughter once getting a religious tract in her trick-or-treat bag,and I was offended as hell, but the rhetoric in it was extremely mild compared to this. This shit could give a kid nightmares.
Btw, for those who don't know, Answers in Genesisare the same wonderful people who gave the world the Creation Museumand Ark Encounter. It figures, doesn't it?
