Ok now that I'm done rolling my eyes, lets talk about actual Halloween. I really love this pictire that shows a traditional hollowed out and Carved Turnip, that was the mases of the Carved Pumpkins you see today. I remember my mother carving out a Turnip when I was a child, and let me tell you its bloody hard to carve a wawTurnip, and it actually looked a bit like this

The Wiki Article on Halloween is a good read.

I do not celebrate Halloween at all. I believe it to be Satans holiday.
Those who operate in the dark kingdom, some offer up sacrifices of animals, children or others on that day. It is an evil celebration.

No matter how much it is sugar coated, it's evil.
I choose to not participate. I don't celebrate Fall Festivals either. Or All Saints Day, also known as Day of the Dead.

Basically it's a business to sell old candies, awkward costumes and blizzard maskes and of course the pumpkins.

If you believe Halloween /All Soul's day to be evil because of its pagan origin, I'm afraid you are in for a shock if you research any major Christian feast days. They all have pagan roots.
That was the best way to aid conversion, use the pagan feast days but call them different Christian names.

I am aware that many pagan holidays were converted by the early church to be celebrated as christian holidays under different names. They did this as many pagans were being converted to christianity and wanted to continue their feast days, so they were incorporated. Christmas was one of these pagan holidays that was changed also.
It was changed to celebrate the birth of Christ, which is not his birth date at all. Probably in September. Yes, God was born in a human flesh but I celebrate His Resurrection which gave us Power to overcome and the ability for Him to live In us by His Holy Spirit!

I believe All Saints Day, the Day of the Dead to be evil because as a christian, we are not to celebrate the dead or contact the dead. We are to do all things to the glory of God.

Satanism, Orgiastic cults, pedophilia ...it predates Christianity by far ...the key is hidden in creating a certain form of energy

I can guarantee you, stories of a man rising from the dead, and walking around visiting his friends, would have been a scary Halloween story for pagans grin

Being a little hellraiser to make fun of evil. It’s harmless if you are.
