SHOULD CHRISTIANS CELBRATE HALLOWEEN?

[Archivist]

Had a fantastic Halloween haul this year!! The only problem is, I feel sick from eating too much once the kids hit the sack. Don't lie, you do it too.

I have a peanut allergy so I gave out only peanut and peanut butter candy--that way I didn't raid my candy basket between trick-or-treaters.

Well, another Halloween has passed. No human sacrifices in my neighborhood. No small animals mutilated. No bonfires lit to honor pagan goddesses. Just little kids collecting candy. The most popular costume for girls seemed to be princess costumes, although several came dressed as Wonder Woman. Boys costumes tended to be a bit more diverse--football players, Batman, Spiderman, various Star Wars characters. I did see some skeletons, ghosts and monsters but relatively few. Scariest costumes of the night were a couple boys dressed as Donald Trump.

Now we can all take a break before next year's round of anti-Halloween threads...

See, they told you it was evil, and you wouldn't listen. Flirting with the dark side has drawn you into gluttony and theft from your own offspring.

Human sacrifices and animal mutilation happen at Christmas!?!?

I hope not. But the threads denouncing Christmas as evil will start.

I actually did a post on how Christians can be mega weird to me here:
"End Times" Christians Are Weird...

While it was about the end times, I'd say that those types of individuals that dislike Halloween and Christmas are very similar.

But Christmas and Halloween are radically different. One's about death, one's about life.

Even if they got the date wrong, lol.

I didn't get any mutilations or sacrifices this year either in my neighborhood. We did get four Spidermans, one Batman, an Iron Man, three ladybugs (guess that is a new costume for girls that's popular?), a giant dinosaur (the father walking his kids), one witch, three grim reapers (Guess that is a new popular one for boys), a girl dressed as a Macaroni and Cheese container (was creative). There were others but I forget them, although I will say I can't remember any monsters or anything evil or violent. As usual our two cats sat outside to be petted by trick-or-treaters; Halloween must be their favorite holiday for the attention, second to Thanksgiving thanks to all the free turkey.

The celebration of All Saints is literally the celebration of life. John 11:25-26.

Halloween's over Brother. Jesus was not talking about Halloween in John 11.

I don't denounce Christmas or call it evil. They merely got the date wrong. That's trivial. I still buy a few people presents, cook a dinner and all that. I even say "Happy Birthday Jesus" So it's the wrong date, big deal. Making it a stupid, make the corporations rich day by going overboard on presents isn't even a religious connotation, it's just good sense to not do that. Buying presents is ok, but not the primary focus of Christmas.

Unless you're married with little ones, lol. Boy I'm glad those days are over for me.

I wont condemn you guys for doing the Christmas thing with your family. How rude would that be? I did it. So what?

I know—I’ve been on here Kong enough to have been through several rounds of this.

Do not celebrate Halloween as it is a pagan and really satanic holiday rooted in samhain. Those who believe this is all saints day have not really studied the roots.

All pagan things Are satanic to you

I celebrate enough for everybody, LoL!
