That's not a question. If this is about it being pagan then stop worrying since Halloween is just as much inspired by All Saints Day Eve, a Christian holiday, as it is by Samhein. No that's not coincedence it's the same story as Yule and Christmas, Christianity's attempt to overshadow other religion's holidays. I celebrate both since it's basically multiple religions that try to out do each other until only secularity overcomes both.

If you are going to make a sweeping statement like that at least explain yourself!!! Why do you think it is wrong? just because the bile doesn't tell you to get dressed up and go annoy your neighbor's begging for sweets/candy??!!
Halloween has nothing to do with devil worship or candy or for witches covens to dance round naked and have sex and orgies or raising the dead or Christianity, it actually pre-dates Christianity and Mithra and the Roman Catholics and nearly every modern day religion there is. It has been taken from the pagans as with most of the other pagan celebrations and turned into a farce as also with most of the other pagan festivals. And I have read also a lot of these go back to other ancient belief systems.
Christmas, new year, Easter, April fools day, may day, harvest festival and Halloween the ones I can think of off the top of my head are all not what they seem to be, if only people would actually find out what these things are before they ridicule them the world may be a better place to live in, just goes to show how many people are really sheep and give life no thought at all, take everything for granted, and never question the world we live in, I think it's very sad. If you go into the history of the celebrations they do have so much more meaning that what we are led to believe.

Your entitled to your opinion. But why is Halloween wrong? Anyways at 7 o'clock on Halloween Day the store's took down all the pumpkin and ghost placards and put up Santa's and turkey's. Pretty soon it's Halloween then Christmas. On Christmas day the stores will put up Valentine Decorations.

Nowhere in the Bible does it say "You must save old ladies who are being attacked by muggers." By your logic, if I chased off some thugs who were terroising an old dear, I'd be wrong?
Who cares that you think Halloween is wrong? Not everything in life is determined exactly by what the Bible you know, if it was you'd never get anything done!

"I'm hot boys?"
Well, Christmas is nowhere in the Bible and neither is Easter. New Year's Eve isn't in the Bible and neither is Thanksgiving or the Fourth of July or Veteran's day. I suppose these holidays are wrong, too?
Passover is. Hanukkah is. They're about the only holidays mentioned that I can recall.
Halloween is all about facing our fears and honouring our dead. It is a celebration for local communities to get outside and enjoy our neighbourhoods and the sweetness of life.
So please do not use the Bible to bash Halloween. That's not what the Bible is meant for.

the 4th of July isn't in the bible either.. should Christians not celebrate that? Halloween is a totally commercial holiday just for fun. to most the religious aspects of the holiday are gone. only a few keep the faith. So, its Samhain that you shouldn't be celebrating.

****, Halloween is my favorite holiday. It's not because of the damn cheesy candy and the costumes. I'm 17 and till this day I still love it. But I have my reasons for it. It's a type of night that people don't think alot is going on but trick or treating for the kids. But when you're a satanist, and a hybrid, than it's the best day of the year. I'm serious. Besides, on that halloween night, and the night before, was one of the greatest times I've had. Running around in graveyards and practice fighting is what I do with my friends on those night. Its' because there's so much energy floating around on halloween and devil's night, and that's why it's the best time to practice. You gain that energy and it makes you stronger. But unfortunatlly, most humans don't know how to do this. So when you come on my fighting grounds with me and my team when we're practicing, you're bound to get caught up in the act and you'll get beaten up unexpectedlly. So you might get hurt if you live close by and stray away on property that's not yours. It's happened more than once. But yeah, devil's night and halloween are great holidays to have.

It is a pagan holiday. But to most people it is a night to get dressed up and go collect candy. It is fun for the kids and not to be taken seriously. I know adults have parties, but for the most part, it is just another reason to put on weird costumes and have some fun. So, chill out and don't given it any more credence rhan it deserves!!!

Your insane. Halloween has got nothing to do with "the devil." It's just a way for kids to get some free candy.
