   In all charity we will give friend james another chance to show a church   
   ith areligious observation/rituals on the seccular event of "trick or   
   treat" and such   
      
   To provide all help to that end we would use easter and christmas as   
   examples of religious observation/ritual; the former of Christ's rising   
   from the tomb and the latter of His birth.  If were to attend them what   
   would we observe in common that makes them like "trick and treat?"   
      
   Now show us even one church with *anything* like those religious   
   observation/ritual above.  That does "not" mean a substitution children's   
   party for those concerned with the religious propriety of the secular"trick   
   or treat" event and so on
