Knowledge, Faith and Revelation

Halloween Night, and walking through the campus to the lecture, it was like one big fancy dress ball. It seemed all the resident students had dressed up to go out for their spooky evening fun. Their rationale for the event was uncertain, what appeared to matter for them was going out to have a good time.
They took part in what could be taken to be a ritual of tradition, revealed more by man than God I feel.

Interesting to me was the revelation of this consumer lead secular custom to dress up for a supposedly supernaturally charged experience, an emotional roller coaster of fear and fun.
