Linus Van Pelt of "Peanuts" fame, prefers NOT to discuss religion,
politics, or "The Great Pumpkin", as these are "hot buttons for too many
people".
I need to find a sincere pumpkin patch, at Sally's request.

It also notes that in 1 John 4:2-3 (NKJV)
2) By this you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that
Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God,
3) and every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the
flesh is not of God. And this is the spirit of the Antichrist, which you
have heard was coming, and is now already in the world.
