Proof?
Take a look at ViaCrucis' post on the previous page and refute his points with FACTS. Don't have any? Didn't think so. We don't need anyone else coming here telling us halloween is evil "just cause".

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
Halloween!

And it's you who has to explain why that matters or that it even IS rooted in witchcraft. Telling people to take a history class is by no means proof of your claims.
Who don't you?

we can move on once at least ONE of you anti-halloween people backs your stance with actual proof of its "evil roots". but since that's not going to happen since none exists, then i suppose this is a lost cause.

There is, in fact, a
emoticon on here, and it's usually reserved for people who refuse to give good reasoning for their positions and dodge every request for actual evidence for the claims they make. So... and we're still waiting on evidence that Halloween is evil. For the record: Don't dis a holiday in which there is an excuse to stuff one's self with stuffing. Stuffing is where it's at.

But did any of you guys have a blood orgy for the devil? Because, clearly, that's what some people who have posted in this thread expected of us. I'd just hate to disappoint them and shatter their ill conceived perceptions when I say I ate a couple of pieces of candy and a corn beef sandwich and went to bed after watching "Hoarders".

I have a confession.............................................I celebrated Halloween!!!!!!!
I know I know I'm sorry. It was evil and I will confess what I did....
I........helped cook vegan stew, make party snacks and decorated the house with paper mache halloween decorations. People dressed as a lion, a monk(buddhist kind) came to the house. As well as other EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEVVVVVVVVVVVVIL costumes! I dressed as a renaissance jester with black/white make up. Alcohol was consumed lightly and then people went home.
To my knowledge no rituals were performed.
Also I demand that you read this accompanied to dramatic, evil sounding music.

My church youth group went "tract and treat"ing, which consisted of handing out small bags of candy with a tract in them.
Around Halloween, my grandma moves the chairs off her front porch because, she says, back when "trick or treat" was literal, kids would do something like tying chairs to the porch roof if they weren't given candy.

Indeed. Immediately after Halloween, all the horror programming went away. By next week, we'll be seeing... the turkey.
