Side 4 & 5: Gore culture and violent/horror costumes are morally problematic regardless of satanic connection

Mike's fourth and fifth points address costumes and gore

The Bible is not merely informational — it calls people to live a certain way, and doing so demonstrates its truth experientially. Winger cites his marriage as an example: following biblical principles in a family culture with ~95% divorce rates resulted in a thriving ten-year marriage. The Bible's insights into human nature, psychology, and practical wisdom prove accurate when lived out.

Winger declines to condemn parents who choose public school but insists they must actively address secular content at home — particularly in California. Opting for public school without engaging the ideas children are taught is 'dropping the ball' as a Christian parent.
