how can we ever know?
is the efficacy of our claim proven
by pantomiming virtues
until they seem like His?
is that the proof or faith, merely?
or is it different? it is, perhaps
in that, if the Spirit is true,
it fills all intrinsically, passing up
the surfaces and thier looks,
and changes below,
developing life of the
same genus
yet drastically unique:
Personality.
must i lose this and become
like the other pallid stoics
who enjoy the fluff
of thier own notions
and applaud the masks
and costumes like children
at Halloween?
if thats Christianity
i want
nothing of it.

In reading your post, this scripture came to me about those who put on Halloween masks..."What right have you to recite My laws or take my covenant on your lips? You hate my instruction and cast my words behind you. When you see a thief you join with him and throw in your lot with adulterers. You use your mouth for evil and harness your tongue for deceit. You speak continually against your brother and slander your own mother's son. These things you have done and I have kept silent; you thought I was altogether like you. But I will rebuke you and accuse you to your face." Psalm 50:16-21
