They’re fine. Everyone likes candy, horror movies, and Halloween fun.
It’s only the Jesus Freaks who hate it. (The ones who think the rapture is tomorrow). |

What about atheists who celebrate Christmas? Is that OK?
If so, Christians can go trick-or-treating. |

It’s a holiday for children. I’m more worried about the kids that dress up as Disney characters than the ones dressed up like the devil or a vampire.

I assume most don't mind because it's very popular even in towns with a church on every corner. I guess the ones that do turn the lights off.

Quoted: Now that we talked about yoga, yogurt, and possessed robots, what do you think about Christians celebrating Halloween? Why would you ask such a dumb question. You hate Christianity and Christian people.  Christians celebrate Halloween.   I see your poll is not going the they you wanted. Do you even know the history of trick or treating and how it came about in the United States? If you did, you'd know how dumb this is. Those traditions were brought to the United States by Irish and Scottish immigrants in the mid-1800s By the 1920s, though, there were a lot more tricks than treats. Halloween became a night of vandalism and even acts of violence. NEIGHBORS TAKE OVER Tired of the unruly behavior, neighborhoods across the country started holding organized events for children. ANCIENT ORIGINS Halloween has been around in one form or another since the first century B.C. and sweets have always played a big part. During Celtic celebrations, food was left out overnight to supposedly calm unwanted spirits. And in later centuries, people would dress up and play pranks for food and drinks. Those traditions were brought to the United States by Irish and Scottish immigrants in the mid-1800s. By the 1920s, though, there were a lot more tricks than treats. Halloween became a night of vandalism and even acts of violence. NEIGHBORS TAKE OVER Tired of the unruly behavior, neighborhoods across the country started holding organized events for children in an attempt to stop the acts of vandalism being committed by the little monsters. The vandalism being committed included, breaking windows, setting fires, stealing, beatings ect..ect... A break for sugar rations during World War II put the beloved tradition on a brief hiatus, but it returned in the 1950s. TRICK OR TREAT The phrase "trick-or-treating" became common by the early 50s, showing up everywhere from the iconic Peanuts comics to Disney cartoons. The popularity remains today, with trick-or-treating being big business in America. Families spend over $2 billion on candy each year, making Halloween the second-largest commercial holiday. Leave my candy alone.  it's a harmless holiday.

Co-opting a holiday to hand out candy and party in costumes is the best way to destroy it's origin and stamp out the ideology.
Just like as a white guy I get drunk on tequila on May 5th because fuck the mexican culture still celebrating victories from a country they fled from, take it, make it yours and cleanse it. |
