Now for our house hold we do not celebrate this day. We believe the orgin is demonic and detramental to children. Historicaly children were offered up as sacrafice to Satan. They were pure and placed on an alter to engage and sex and then killed and their blood offered up as an offering to Satan.

While Christmas and Easter do hold pagean orgins, none are demonic, and the turn around has been for a more Godly belief. Halloween has always been to glorfy Satan and evil. If we check with our local news, PD, etc. you would find statistcily more children are harmed on this day then any day of the year. Not the case with Christmas or Halloween.

We do not drink either, but do not judge anyone who does, like wise we do not judge those who partake in this holiday, but do not even engage in alternatives as it is the same as acknowledging that this is a day to celebrate. Tell me again what we are celebrating.

Every holiday on the calander minus Halloween celebrates something positive wheter you agree with that day or not. Christmas, Easter, Labor Day, Memmorial Day, Hanakka, Ram Kimpur, Kwanza, etc. While I might support some of the beliefs of these holidays there is nothing negative. Those celebrating a false god are celebrating the belief they have in that god and do not see that god as an evil force. So if you think Satan is an okay person to celebrate and you have been afforded the knoweldge of this holiday and you choose to still celebrate it, this is between you and God. If you are as comfortable with that decission as you are with the decission to dink wine, why does it always come with so much explanation.

People never defend celebrating anything but Halloween. To much attention is given to this holday. If you are comfortable with you choice to engage in such a day then do so without trying to convience the world.

I love your beginning, explaining our belief and for me that is where our focus should be, getting more of the word to non beleivers than debating such a holiday.

Okay, sorry to all those offended, but I just ask that you study this day pray about it and live your life and stop trying to convience those of us who have determined not to celebrate this day, that it is an okay day to celebrate.

I want to know one thing. Why would anyone put their children in harms way. Regardless of its purpose it is statisticly the day most children are harmed not to mention all the preditators out on this day, but maybe that is the Law Enforcement side of me.
