From where did you get the information that Halloween celebrates evil and Satan? As a pagan holiday the purpose is to celebrate the dead - the dead in your ancestral line, not the dead as a Hollywood fixation on horror. Pagans did not worship Satan, who is a Christian heretic. Ask any psychologist about why children like to dress up in scary costumes, and he'll tell you that children like to have scary things under control. Wearing a costume once a year of a scary creature seems safe enough, and it is. Children want to wear costumes of fairy pricesses because that is a bit of wish fulfillment. You would do a lot better to read less Christian propaganda and a little more psychology.

Demons and the devil are symbols of halloween no doubt about it but honestly halloween has become a special holiday and normal people that take their kids out trick-or-treating that are not Satan worshippers. I personally dont have a problem dressing up as something evil because thats part of the fun of halloween; you get to be something youre not for a night. I think people that have a big problem with halloween are taking it far too seriously.
How bout we worry more about liberalism taking over this country and our kids going to public atheistic training (public school) which all Christians pay for through taxes.

Halloween was created by Christians, so just calm down. A Pagan holiday called Samhain was originally the only thing celebrated on October 31st. It is a celebration of the final harvest that comes at the end of October. I celebrate it and it is my favorite Pagan holiday. The Christians wanted the Pagans to assimilate to Christianity and therfore came up with Halloween on the same day as Samhain. So turn that finger around and point it at your fellow Christians.

I am non-Christian but would like to respond to your question.
Halloween is a fun celebration for kids young and old. It is not a Pagan holiday.
I am a Pagan, I celebrate Samhain which falls on November 7th this year. I will be honoring my ancestors, giving thanks for the final harvest, and banishing any negativity in my life. I honor all life, I do not celebrate death.
I do not believe in the Devil, he is a Christian deity. If I did believe in him it is very doubtful that I would worship such an entity.
I know that because of your religious beliefs you probably think everything I have told you is a lie. That is fine, you are entitled. I am merely attempting to dispel some of the ugly lies that are circulated about my religion, especially this time of year.
Blessings )O(

enable's look on the tremendous photo: a number of Christians have severe religious concerns about Halloween. yet when we are telling those who Halloween is evil with out providing any possibilities to classic Halloween activities that evening, how lots of them are basically going to stay abode? probable no longer many. The much better effective option is that there are a number of church homes and different communities that are providing activities on Oct. 31 that do not have to any extent further some thing to do with Halloween, yet that basically ensue to ensue that evening. in case you invite your acquaintances or associates or whoever to at least some thing like this, it basically would open the doors for them to initiate asking better questions about what it skill to be a Christian. that would properly be much better effective than basically putting down Halloween and having the communication end authentic there. look into the first link lower than for concepts people have e-mailed to me.

First of all, I'd just like to say I personally think you're a nutjob
But, I will attempt to adress your concerns in a serious manner:
Very few people take Halloween as an opportunity to "celebrate" death and evil, but merely to acknowledge it. They dress up as demons or go to haunted houses to scare and be scared by others (a stimulating experince) not to revel in death or satanism.

Firstly, Halloween is for fun, it has nothing to do with evil. Secondly, satan doesn't exist so don't even bother talking about it. Halloween isn't the celebration of evil or death, you've got it all wrong. Just let your kids have fun.

Why do you automatically assume that dressing as something evil or dressing as 'death' (whatever that means) is a celebration of it? Who are you to say that perhaps dressing as a demon isn't insulting or making fun of Satan? Doesn't it OBVIOUSLY depend on the attitude and intention of the person doing the dress-up? Because without attitude or intention, it's just a bunch of fabric that reminds you of something. It has no inherant qualities, just those that YOU give it.

The word itself, "Halloween," actually has its origins in the Catholic Church. It comes from a contracted corruption of All Hallows Eve. November 1, "All Hollows Day" (or "All Saints Day"), is a Catholic day of observance in honor of saints. But, in the 5th century BC, in Celtic Ireland, summer officially ended on October 31. The holiday was called Samhain (sow-en), the Celtic New year.
One story says that, on that day, the disembodied spirits of all those who had died throughout the preceding year would come back in search of living bodies to possess for the next year. It was believed to be their only hope for the afterlife. The Celts believed all laws of space and time were suspended during this time, allowing the spirit world to intermingle with the living.
Naturally, the still-living did not want to be possessed. So on the night of October 31, villagers would extinguish the fires in their homes, to make them cold and undesirable. They would then dress up in all manner of ghoulish costumes and noisily paraded around the neighborhood, being as destructive as possible in order to frighten away spirits looking for bodies to possess.
As you can see, your understanding of the Holiday is totally wrong, hence you can not appreciate it. This is the problem with ignorance in our world, and people who are absolutely certain of things that "just ain't so."

OMG... do some research about what halloween really is, U have a computer so it should be pretty easy. and while your at it, figure out what the heck colored egss and bunnies have to do wth the resuresection of christ? oh yeah.. and WHY do you kill a tree, drag it in your house put lights all over it and decorate it for christmas.... its how the early christians incorperated PAGEN beliefs to convert them to Christianity. Do your kids believe that some strange man really comes into the house and leaves them presents... And if what about smearing the blood of a lamb over your door.. now that sounds pretty gruesome to me... oh yeah.. putting 3 men in a burning furnace and HOPING they come out alive... thats pretty damn gruesome..and hanging a man from a cross, thats not pretty.. what about the plagues... just the thought of it. If you can tell your kids about all of this, you can tell them THE TRUTH about halloween.. Aaarrggghhhhhh.
