So, is Satan so busy that he only gets to fuck once a year? Or is Halloween the one day of the year he's not practicing safe sex?

I never thought about this before, but it seems somehow important.

Also, "his bride"? Not his wife or girlfriend? Does he get married to a new person every year?

[–] [email protected] 64 points 10 months ago (3 children)

This whole situation feels too oddly wholesome for these people to be so upset. Straight? Check. Married? Check. Planned and wanted pregnancy from someone with a lot of power? Check! The father is the literal devil? Fuck that, apparently! Get out of here, you model-citizen demon!

Also, to whomever wrote that note: I'm glad y'all don't like walking in front of my house. You're literally the worse. I'd rather hang out with Satan and his bride than you judgmental prudes.

Maybe it's a "bride of Frankenstein" thing. More of a title than anything.

Though this is the devil they're talking about. Satan could be getting divorced every year and remarrying, or just straight up adding a new "sister-wife" annually.

I legit have not thought this much about real world religion in years.

You kind of HAVE TO have a Satan and bride honeymoon theme now don't you?

[–] [email protected] 22 points 10 months ago (1 children)

At that point, I'd do a 'satan on pornhub' theme

If the neighbors choose to use the mailbox like that, I don’t see how it couldn’t be viewed as a suggestion.

One year I had a house party with around 80 people. The church across the street (uphill) called the cops on me - twice. So on Halloween I burned a pentagram into my front lawn with a cleaning agent iirc(?) for them to gaze down upon for the next two months until it snowed. They never bothered me again after that. It's good to set boundaries.

[–] [email protected] 70 points 10 months ago

I'd have that framed and hang it up every year as a badge of honor. This person won Halloween 👏👏👏

I am a very concerned resident regarding your horrifying and demonic array every Halloween.

This is not a happy time of year.

In fact it is the time when Satan Impregnates his bride.

you need to consider what you are doing as it is affecting many of the neighbours in this area.

Some of us dread walking by your house

[–] [email protected] 40 points 10 months ago

For anyone who wants to use this as a copypasta

[–] [email protected] 47 points 10 months ago (3 children)

"Satan impregnates his bride" is a new one. I hope the pregnancy goes well for them lol

That needs to be copied, laminated and posted outside with pride.

I'd adapt the decorations to include an unholy marriage theme.

[–] [email protected] 39 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Where the fuck does this "the time Satan impregnates his bride" shit come from.

[–] [email protected] 37 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (23 children)

A lot of these religious zealots tend to straight make shit up, usually about connections to hell/devil/Lucifer. Everything they don't like is somehow connected to Lucifer or Hell. It's usually a control mechanism.

I once had someone try to tell me that 'lol' meant 'league of Lucifer' as opposed to 'laugh out loud', which is ironically exactly what I did when I heard this.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 10 months ago (1 children)

It's almost like all religious shit is just made up to control people.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I wouldn't disagree if I'm honest. You only have to look through history to find a multitude of examples.

These types of zealots take it to...weird levels. Not necessarily new or unprecedented, just...weird. Even more nonsensical than the base religion.

If this isn't fake,

What gets me is, this is coming from a fundamentalist, but no where in the bible is Halloween mentioned. They're angry about fan fiction.

In what fictional D-list movie universe do they live in where satan impregnates a bride on Halloween?

[–] [email protected] 22 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Also I thought Satan was evil.. wouldnt it make more sense for him to impregnate someone who isn't his bride, perhaps even through non consensual means?

If you're going to be the face of evil might as well do the sin part properly.

My eyes just rolled so hard I think I need to schedule an appointment with my optometrist.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Eyes rolling back into your head is probably just regular ol Satan possession.

Super normal in October.

If I got a letter like this I would put up a decoration of a big foam Satan "hugging" his bride. Since it's not technically obscene they can't remove it without banning all religious imagery in the area, win:win. I might even keep it up permanently.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 10 months ago (4 children)

What's this about Satan's bride?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Wait its Satan? I've read it as Santa and was confused AF

Won't somebody think of ~~the children~~ Satan rawdogging?

This from a person who sees nothing wrong with hanging a cross everywhere.

Crucifixion is one of the most horrific ways to be tortured to death.

[–] Mouselemming 13 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Come to think of it, a gory "Passion of the Christ" crucifixion would fit right in with the most gruesome Halloween decor.

Laminate it and add it as a decoration.

In high school I had a friend who lived with his Grandma and she was pretty much out of it all the time...

Every year for Christmas he would put a giant pentagram in Christmas lights on her street facing roof.

They got letters like this too but she was old and frail and didn't really give a shit what that kid did as long as he didn't kill her or burn her house down.

She would also buy him booze and cigarettes whenever he demanded it at 14ish years old.

Pro tip if you want to go WAY overboard for Halloween. Small local butchers often have spines and weird bones that they discard.

Ver Brugge in Rockridge hooked my wife and I up for a Dexter themed Halloween party one year.

I would buy so many more decorations and put them up. I would even start the first week of September just for shits and giggles

If it makes you feel any better, I didn't get an invite either.

Speak for yourself, I love Spooktober: Oktoberfest beer, pumpkin spice, cozy sweaters, spooky stories and spooky decorations for Halloween... the list goes on.
