can someone give me a good reason why Halloween is considered evil?

Question

research first please,and tell me why is it considered evil by so many people?real evil does not eat candy.real evil does not dress in costume.

Answer 1

Because it was originally a pagan celebration to celebrate the harvest. Now, we all know that harvest is a good thing, right? Not if you're a Christian invading foreign lands and forcing people to convert to your religion. The Christians that went to Ireland didn't like the pagans, so anything the pagans did was "evil". The Christians began associating this very non-evil celebration into a festival of demons, devils, and witches. They made All Saints' Day the day after this Celtic festival to make it more holy. They pretty much made up the evilness of it, which is why so many costumes are of "evil" things. Fortunately, most people now adays understand that it's about candy, not devil worship. Those who tell you that's what it is, don't understand it.

Answer 2

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 3

The consideration comes from glorifying ghouls and goblins by dressing like them and other frightful things. It is said to give credence to the dark side. We were always dressed as positive figures or at least light hearted things like Good Witch, Bewitched, Smurfs, Good Wizard, Happy Black Cats, etc. The fact that more fires are started and more people plot to hurt children doesn't make it sound nice either. The scary costumes were to ward off the evil spirits in times long ago on their last night to haunt the earth before All Saints Day.

Answer 4

Halloween is not evil at all. Halloween came from the term "All Hallows Eve" which is the day before Halloween.
The Puritans had very, very, very strict beliefs and faith in God. people started accusing each other of being witches in Salem, and all these people got hung for it.
anyways, Halloween has nothing to do with evilness or anything like that. i honestly have no clue where people got the idea that Halloween is evil, maybe because of the scary costumes?
anyways...I'm not answering your question, but, yea, whatever...

Answer 5

Its not Halloween, its the full moon - the "Harvest Moon" aka the Solstice which is associated with the the devil. They often fall around the same time.

People that know about the earth's energy (true worshippers of Satan) celebrate his birthday on this solstice. People that are ignorant and want to be involved in the occult celebrate it on Halloween.

Anyway, horrible things happen on both nights. Satanic worshippers participate in rituals which include blood drinking, flesh eating, child sacrifice and child sodomy. It is no joke. It is real and it happens in the USA.

How do they get the kids? You can easily kidnap one off the streets or have a child imported from a poor country (a kid that lives in an orphanage). Also adults in the Satanic Church will gladly give birth to a child to then watch it be sacrificed as well as participating in it.

The church also kidnaps women, who they then hold hostage and force them to have children for sacrifice. The also force that mother to watch it happen.

That's why.

Research the church. Or people who have left it. There's alot of information out there if your really interested, and can handle truth about the world we actually live in.

And it really happens. Shocking, isn't it?

Answer 6

Halloween is considered evil because many Satanic rituals are performed on this day. In a way if you celebrate halloween it's a way of showing support for the devil. Many monsters and demons that are showed as entertainment can be made up well not made up but they satanics could have asked Satan to give them inspiration and people are not aware that there are a lot of Satanic people.

Answer 7

people see it as evil becuz kids dress up in "devil influenced" costumes and hav fun and get candy for it. plus it has been a holiday that symbolizes the release of spirits (not necessarily bad ones) for centuries. people just take religion too far and condemning ahlloween is part of it.

Halloween, Child’s Play or The Serpent in the Garden?

This was my child’s English assignment. The students were asked to write a story on the subject of getting rid of a Holiday or adding one and this is what she wrote. I guess when the teacher read this one (no names were given) the class was dumbfounded and speechless.

To Whom It May Concern:

One of the main holidays in our country is Halloween. I feel that this particular holiday produces a more negative affect than holidays should be allowed. On Halloween nights many kids, young and old, walk up and down streets to collects candy and other goodies from the neighbors. These actions may seem completely harmless when thought of briefly but when the true history of this holiday is investigated further horrible truths emerge. For example the roots of Halloween date back to medieval times. Back then October 31 was considered a day when dead spirits were believed to return to their homes and when evil practices, such as witchcraft, were most potent. My friends from South Africa lived in an area, where on Halloween nights, the cults would gather at graveyards to sacrifice cats and newborn babies to evil spirits. Today many people don’t understand the gruesome nature of this holiday and eagerly dismiss and negative facts against its origin. Today the choice of costumes for Halloween is also a problem for many people. If you’ve ever visited a general store in late September you’ve probably seen the variety of costumes displayed: skulls painted with blood, witch hats and masks, knives, axes etc. On a more serious note store decorations for Halloween usually advertise death and murder. For example Menards in Nebraska shows a skeleton hanging from the rafters by a handmade noose. Who would want their three year old child to be exposed to that degree of terror at such a young age? Decorations like these not only scare children but also teach them that these actions are O.K. and exciting.
The problem with Halloween not only lies with its history and advertisement, but also with the safety of communities. One of the activities that troublemaking teenagers like to do on Halloween is pranking. Although this activity is slightly tolerable a very fine line is often crossed. Damage to public and personal property is a major prank that many pranksters try to accomplish on Halloween night. Do you want your children to be out amongst these potential criminals? Worse yet, a part of this crime? Safety is also an issue when addressing Halloween. Children are commonly left alone on October 31st to gather all the candy they can with their friends. Although there is safety in numbers, abductions do occur and are possible at any moment. Allowing this holiday to remain on our calendars will surely endanger our homes and families to a point we have never reached before. The simple concepts behind Halloween, such as candy gathering and consuming as much as possible is hard on the human body system. High calorie candy is one reason why so many kids today are overweight and proud owners of cavities that require around $100 to fix. Careful consumption of these treats is a very important skill that Halloween clearly destroys.
I understand that Halloween has been a trademark of our history and economy for many years, but the strong negativity of this holiday is too much to agree with! An alternative holiday such as a Harvest Celebration could involve dressing up in less terrorizing costumes and having a meal with family and friends. Kids could play games and win small pieces of candy or toys for prizes. All I ask is that you understand the satanic nature of this popular holiday and consider some other possible alternatives that could take the place of this highly controversial holiday.

Answer 9

It dates back to the dawn of the christian era. The priest cast, wanting to gain power and control over the pagans, started a propaganda campaign to link pagan festivals and rituals to Satan.
It's a good practice to question everything, you can know just about everything if you dig deep enough.
