You would be hard-pressed to prove that baseball was created as a form of worship to other gods.
Halloween? Quite a bit easier.
I agree completely. There are plenty who treat sports so importantly that they could be considered idols.
You dont have to prove that sporting events were used by pagans to worship their god, its a fact
Is basketball being used to worship demons? No. Are Christians worshiping demons by decoration their porch with webs and eating candy? I dont see how. Whats the difference between the two?

We do trunk or treat at my church and I enjoy it for all the same reasons as the above post

The difference is that haloween was created for the sole purpose of worshiping other gods.
Baseball wasn't.

Halloween was originally a time of preparation before All Saints Day and All Souls day. The Halloween of today is secular
Funny you ask that, Brother. I went to an NFL game yesterday, and some folks there were ravenous about the players and the game itself. For them its definitely a form of worship, and I wondered what God was thinking as I watched them. Thankfully for most folks, sports is just a release from every day trials and tribulations.

So your righteousness is NOT celebrating New Years Day, MLK Day, Ground Hogs Day, President's Day, Valentine's Day, St. Patrick's Day, Palm Sunday, Easter, Arbor Day, Mother's Day, Father's Day, Memorial Day, D-Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Columbus Day, Veteran's Day, Black Friday, and Christmas? Good question. What does scripture say about this?
Nothing.
It also doesn't talk about raspberries and chocolate, but I celebrate them too.

For the Mayans, the ball was someone's head. The game kept going until one team was too tired to keep playing. They were the losers and were killed for the loss.

Only cuz it's blue. (Since you asked.)I'm pretty sure his avatar is there as a sign that he likes that team and sport. Not to show it off as some pagan thing. MY avatar is of a ladybug.

And whereas sunrises are evil, I'm hoping your avatar is a sunset.

Actually, Halloween is the eve before All Saint's Day (thus "Hallow Eve"), a day to remember the martyrs in Christianity, so you're making our argument. Thanks.Wow, that's a HUGE stretch right there any Yoga instructor would be proud of.
There is a large difference between a game that happens to be played by pagans,
and a day created by pagans solely to worship another God.

The Internet! If someone wants to find a conspiracy theory for anything, it's on the Internet.
The baseball diamond is the temple of a goddess.

It does dawn on me, I'd be less scared of ladybugs if they were blue. In nature red is often a warning. (That and I like blue as a color.)
And I've bought ladybugs to put in my garden, so my fear factor isn't that high. I just don't like the feeling of six very tiny legs crawling on my skin. Could be a roach or ant. Eeek!
Blue ladybugs actually exist. There are two varieties, a steel-blue one and a silver-gray one. One is found in Australia and was introduced to certain parts of the U.S. and the other species is entirely indigenous to the Caribbean. Here's what they look like.
