does anyone agree with me that holloween is a day for devils?

Answer 1

Yes Mr.Master.It's the day for devils...horny devils. And I plan to spend it all on my back...wanna join me. I won't tell God,I promise.

Answer 2

I do not.
In America, as of 1950, Halloween is fun for children, and parents. The teens started up in the 69ish time, with the more grown up tricks (the famous TPing a house and the dog poop in a burning bag was started then). Well these children grew up and have adult parties in the 70-to-today. NO where is anything evil or satanic. It's been all cleaned up.
So no all the devils have been exorcised by our great capitalistic system. All that is left is empty devil costumes of happy couples making more children for next years Halloween.
It helps that people are smarter now, too.
You and the other adults that plan to ruin this fun time with your fake haunted houses and other lies, I cry for your lost faith. If you have any faith then why are you so weak in it. Turn on your light and GIVE. But no your wrapped too tightly! you have forsaken your community for your own agenda. If it was ok i would curse you, as it is this can not be done - but WAKE UP!! IT"S 2006! The dark ages are over!! Join us in the light of GODs love!!
I weep for your children and those of your ilk. To not know the joys of being in the true light of community spiirit and caring. Share in the joy of each holiday, as it's now celibrated - because the dark days are over!!!

Answer 3

I've never heard of Holloween. ;-)

Halloween, however, is derived from the ancient Celtic holiday called Samhain, and was thought to be the night when the veil between worlds was at its thinnest. Like the Mexican Dia de los Muertos, a person's deceased family members would take advantage of this night to come back and visit the living. Gifts of food would be left out for them, because it's rude to not feed one's family when they pop by for a visit. This is the origin of trick or treating. Later, during Christian times, they kept their belief in spirits returning on that night, but being Christians, they reacted to this with fear. They donned costumes so that the dead would think them dead too and not harm them. November 1st was names All Saint's Day by the Church and the night before was named All Hallows Evening, which was eventually became Halloween. It's really a lovely holiday, when you get past the commercialism and fearmongering and look at its true meaning. It's right there in the name. Hallowed Evening. Hallowed means sacred.

Answer 4

Halloween is what you make it just like everything else is. If you believe that it is a day for the devils, then it is. If I do not think it is, it isn`t. Children think it a night of having fun dressing up in costumes, going the school carnival, and going door to door getting candy. The fanatics are the ones who turn Halloween into something evil, just like the witch hunts back in the 1700`s. Innocent women were put to death all because of a ridiculous belief this. It is hard to imagine that we have not become any more educated that this in the 21st century. If there are persons who think that they like to think of themselfs as witches, warlocks, and vampires, and this is the devil`s night, then you all believe in the same thing.

Answer 5

Halloween's origins date back to the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain (pronounced sow-in).
The Celts, who lived 2,000 years ago in the area that is now Ireland, the United Kingdom, and northern France, celebrated their new year on November 1. This day marked the end of summer and the harvest and the beginning of the dark, cold winter, a time of year that was often associated with human death. Celts believed that on the night before the new year, the boundary between the worlds of the living and the dead became blurred. On the night of October 31, they celebrated Samhain, when it was believed that the ghosts of the dead returned to earth. In addition to causing trouble and damaging crops, Celts thought that the presence of the otherworldly spirits made it easier for the Druids, or Celtic priests, to make predictions about the future. For a people entirely dependent on the volatile natural world, these prophecies were an important source of comfort and direction during the long, dark winter.
To commemorate the event, Druids built huge sacred bonfires, where the people gathered to burn crops and animals as sacrifices to the Celtic deities.
During the celebration, the Celts wore costumes, typically consisting of animal heads and skins, and attempted to tell each other's fortunes. When the celebration was over, they re-lit their hearth fires, which they had extinguished earlier that evening, from the sacred bonfire to help protect them during the coming winter.
By A.D. 43, Romans had conquered the majority of Celtic territory. In the course of the four hundred years that they ruled the Celtic lands, two festivals of Roman origin were combined with the traditional Celtic celebration of Samhain.
The first was Feralia, a day in late October when the Romans traditionally commemorated the passing of the dead. The second was a day to honor Pomona, the Roman goddess of fruit and trees. The symbol of Pomona is the apple and the incorporation of this celebration into Samhain probably explains the tradition of "bobbing" for apples that is practiced today on Halloween.
By the 800s, the influence of Christianity had spread into Celtic lands. In the seventh century, Pope Boniface IV designated November 1 All Saints' Day, a time to honor saints and martyrs. It is widely believed today that the pope was attempting to replace the Celtic festival of the dead with a related, but church-sanctioned holiday. The celebration was also called All-hallows or All-hallowmas (from Middle English Alholowmesse meaning All Saints' Day) and the night before it, the night of Samhain, began to be called All-hallows Eve and, eventually, Halloween. Even later, in A.D. 1000, the church would make November 2 All Souls' Day, a day to honor the dead. It was celebrated similarly to Samhain, with big bonfires, parades, and dressing up in costumes as saints, angels, and devils. Together, the three celebrations, the eve of All Saints', All Saints', and All Souls', were called Hallowmas.

Answer 6

It is the night before All Soul's Day. The reason we have Halloween here in the USA, is the idea that since these so-called demons are walking, we dress up in costumes to make fun of them. A lot of people enjoy the costumes and the treats. It is a very serious thing in Mexico and some other countries. Yes, it is considered to be a day for the evil spirits to walk. Yuk.

Answer 7

It's Halloween. No, it's not a day for the devils. You need to do some research on All Hallow's Eve.

Now, it's just about kids dressing up and asking for candy. That's all. You are making too much out of it.

It's NOT about devils or evil. It's about CANDY

Answer 8

First off, the devil does NOT exist ! He is a made up scapegoat. All evil on earth comes from no-one but man himself. The problem is most men don't have the nads to admit it. In the US, Halloween is a time for people to dress up and have a little fun. A one day escape from the real world of hate and war. And you want to take this away from them?

Answer 9

Perhaps in no other “Christianized” celebration does Satan so blatantly honor himself and memorialize his war dead. The writer J. Garnier suggests that celebrations of suffering and death can be traced back to the ancient destruction of all of his human followers, as well as the hybrid sons of fallen angels, at the time of the Flood. Cultures the world over have festivals for the dead, “held by all on or about the very day on which, according to the Mosaic account, the Deluge took place, viz., the seventeenth day of the second month—the month nearly corresponding with our November.”—The Worship of the Dead, by J. Garnier.

And this is for you "Gem".

Halloween is a major satanic ritual day. “It’s a religious holiday for the underworld, with satanists performing sacrifices and witches quietly celebrating with prayer circles or meals for the dead,” according to a USA Today article. It quoted Washington witch Bryan Jordan as saying, “[Christians] don’t realize it, but they’re celebrating our holiday with us. . . . We like it.”

Answer 10

Yes, it is a pagan celebration---The day does have religious significance for some people, particularly wiccans and druids. For some people and in some regions, Halloween or some of its elements may have a non-Christian religious meaning. Some Halloween activities could be considered anti-Christian, and would, therefore, be avoided. Christians would want to avoid demonic associations, for example. With these things in mind, it would be appropriate for Christians to consider carefully their activities on this holiday.
The situation is very puzzling. Jesus brought light into the world. He came that we might have eternal life. Most Christians whole-heartily embrace these Scriptural facts. Yet, once a year, many of them turn their focus to Satan and his kingdom, all the while denying that it really actually means anything. Halloween is part of the ancient religion of the Celtics. This is a pagan religion, originating in Ireland and Britain, which is heavily involved with the spiritual realm and many pagan gods. Witches, warlocks, and witchcraft are dominant themes of the holiday. Witches and warlocks generally believe themselves to be followers of the ancient religion called 'Wicca'. This is a religion which worships nature and is an attempt to return to worshipping ancient Norse, Greek, or Celtic gods and goddesses.
A natural tendency would be to just brush this all off as harmless fun, believing that it has no real meaning. However, Halloween ("Samhain") is not an innocent holiday. It is taken very seriously by those of the Celtic (including Wicca) religion and is considered one of their most holy days. The problem is that Satan has worked very hard to get the rest of us — especially Christians — to think that Halloween is really harmless. In fact, part of the work of Satan has been to convince the world that he does not exist. By doing so, satanic rituals, such as the celebration of Samhain, are seen as not being real. When Christianity and the world celebrates the Festival of Samhain and the powers of darkness by masquerading as evil creatures or decorating their homes, schools, businesses, and churches with occult symbols, Satanic power is glorified.
Somewhere (probably from Satan), the Church came up with the idea that it had the power to adopt pagan holidays and declare them holy There is no Scriptural basis for this act by the Church. In fact, only God is able to declare anything holy.
The deception of the celebration of Halloween is so subtle it is hard to see it as demonic and evil. After all, it is just some children dressing up as monsters, witches, etc. and going door-to-door "trick or treating", right? Is there any real harm in it? This is the same thing as the reading of horoscopes. Most people think it is just foolishness anyway, so why not do it? Is it just foolishness? Does God really care if we celebrate Halloween (or read horoscopes)? He hates it, for those things are detestable to him. (Deuteronomy 18.10-12, Exodus 22.18). Revelation 21.8). God declared to Israel, "I will cut off sorceries from your hand, and you will have fortunetellers no more" (Micah 5.12).
Let us not enter into the ways of the world for Jesus said his followers were to be no part of the world.
Can we see Jesus and the apostles going "trick or treating" (if it had been in existence at the time)? Or maybe Jesus passing out treats at the door to the little children that were dressed up as his enemy, the devil? I don't think so. Why, then, would the followers of Jesus do it?
