I don't think Halloween is bad. That much free candy is NEVER a bad thing. LOL Seriously, it is my favorite holiday.
I think that most people who say it is bad is because it does come from a Pagan tradition. Some people think any holiday that doesn't celebrate God in some way is bad. I guess some could think its bad because of all the scary costumes and weirdos out in the street on Halloween. Some believe that that it is Satan's Birthday (don't ask me why). There are many reasons why there are people who don't like Halloween. I think the number one reason why they don't like Halloween is, they are cheap and hate buying candy. LOL

Because Pat Robertson and Billy Graham say so...

Seriously, as a chirstian I don't think halloween is bad. The only bad thing I can think of to it are the vandals, but that's not the holiday, that's just people being disrespectful jerks. Some people don't like it because people like the two I mentioned say it's bad... I think those two can be just as any random non-biblical holiday. I don't celebrate Samhain... I just enjoy the time playing dress-up with my kids.

I think it's personal opinion, really. I can see the problem when there are witches and devils involved. Also quite frankly, it's based on such things. Granted, it's supposed to be about candy and dressing as Superman and all that. But if you truly think about it, just like Harry Potter, if you scratch the surface the real underbelly will show itself. Just like Harry Potter is about magic, Halloween is about witches and stuff. I can see why some Christians do not want to have their kids join in.

Personally, I would leave the decision to the individual and not tell anyone "what they should do" about it.

It`s not bad....It`s the celebration of all the Catholic Saints. It`s been taken over for commercial reasons just like Christmas and Easter etc.

Halloween is bad because it's the day set out to the devil. Many evil rituals took place and still take place to day and people are so blinded that they can't see that it's evil. There are so many things people don't know about Halloween they get trick-or-treating from when monks used to have spirits in them and used to go door to door harassing people and forcing people to give them food. And there is a whole lot more. You should go online and research it.

Cause you sometimes never get too much candy.Oh...I wasn't serious.Its a fun celebration,where people dress up as mythical creatures,get candy and have fun.Long ago,halloween was about ghosts,devils,angels,....etc.
But now,children (like me....) don't take it seriously...I dressed up as a ketchup bottle...gotta problem with that?

Because of the scary stuff. I wouldn't want my kid getting scared for nothing. There's enough to be scared of in this world. Also, it glorifies the devil. Besides, who in their right mind would send their kids to the homes of strangers to beg for candy? With all the whackos out there, that's just asking for trouble.

It's not bad. Christians twisted the meaning to try to convert pagans.
It's just fine until idiots put fish hooks into popcorn balls and play stupid pranks.

It's not unless you perceive it as such. Reality is far worse than fake monsters and costumes and candy.
