It's been quite cold the last few years on Oct 31, so I prayed that it would be warmer this year for the trick or treaters. God heard my prayers and answered them. It was warmer this year and we didn't have to bundle up our kids. Their costumes weren't hidden under their winter coats. Praise God for hearing our prayers and taking the time to answer them!!!!

I can't tell if you're being facetious or not. If you are you do have a point about people ascribing everything to god. "My neighbour had a tumor and prayed and now the tumor is gone and this proves my god". Ignoring other possible explanations and jumping straight to their favorite conclusion.

Let me get this straight... You prayed to God for warm weather in order that children might have a better time of celebrating a pagan festival?
And you actually believe God answered your prayer so little children can follow paganism?
Do you not see a problem with the nature of your prayers?

Children don't follow the practices of paganism. They follow the modern tradition of going from door to door asking for candy. That's all there is to it. I am fully aware of the origins of Halloween so don't feel like you have to educate me on that. That is not what is done now. Even Christmas has its roots in pagan holidays, but we no longer celebrate the pagan holiday because that's not what it means to us now. What Halloween means to us has also changed and we no longer celebrate a pagan holiday. So to answer your question, no I wasn't praying for warm weather so that kids could celebrate a pagan festival. It's about a child having fun collecting candy. That's it that's all.

Well it was warm, so are you saying He didn't answer the prayer?

I believe in you.We don't celebrate Halloween because we know it's pagan.
Wasn't it a festival to scare away demons by wearing masks?

Why pray if we don't expect an answer?

Truly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, 'Be taken up and thrown into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will come to pass, it will be done for him. Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.
Great point Godschild. if you do not believe that what you are praying for will be done then God will not do it, He requires faith which is the hope in things unseen.

Sorry, but if they take part in halloween they are taking part in paganism. And you are helping them!
Well it was warm, so are you saying He didn't answer the prayer?
Yes, I am saying He didn't answer your prayer. I doubt God would assist panganism. It is only your imagination and coincidence at work. God would not assist pagan pursuits.

And the second reply was certainly on to something.
