The holiday has changed. It used to be a holiday to celebrate the devil or devils night. Now it is a fun time where kids get candy and adults dress up.

The website below pretty much explains the entire holiday. The reason why Christians don't like Halloween is because it is based on a pagan religion that had many gods and worshipped nature. There are historical accounts of the Druids going from house to house asking for offerings for their gods. When the people would not give them gifts they recieved punishments. Do you see why that might make someone not want to participate?

If anything it is not because of the candy. Halloween would be bad for Christians because its "Hallows eve." And because it a "devils" holiday, as some people say.

Halloween used to be considered a christian holiday, not unlike most. However, people started honoring spirits and the devil on this day. This is why Christians really do not celebrate Halloween. I

halloween started out as all hallows day or also called all SAINTS day, not the devils day as some closed minded people want to believe, it was a (what christians call) a pagan holiday used to celebrate what their ancestors had given them. it was a day of reverence. now it's just a day of costumes and candy, a commercial holiday.

hate to say it but that was a dumb question. Candy is not bad and it never will be bad (unless you eat too much). the bad thing about halloween is that some people made it a holliday to worship the devil.
