Quote# 50722

As Christians you and I are placed in this world to be a light in a world of darkness. There is no lasting benefit to ignore a holiday that exists around us, but it also does harm to celebrate Halloween as it has originated and grown over the centuries.

My suggestion? Christians should be teaching their children (age appropriately) that:

*there is a spiritual world filled with goodness from God and evil from Satan (Eph. 2:1-10);
*life with Christ has power over darkness (I John 4:4); and
*those who celebrate Halloween either are unaware of its roots, or are intentionally promoting a world where evil is lauded and viewed as an ultimate power.

You've got to love a religion that considers giving candy to children as promoting a world of evil.

darkness too, is beautiful. You can't see but the other senses are quickened.

People were afraid of the dark because of the unknown, unseen; a time of night noises and things to catch you.

In the 21C the absence of light is a luxury, and the dark holds no unseen terrors.

And the only light these idiots would give is if they were burnt at the stake... (sorry!)

Halloween, or all Hallows' (Saints) eve is the day before the Xian festival of all the saints. I believe "all souls' day is 2 Nov, the festival for all the dead.

All Hallows falls conveniently around the equinox, a time of pagan ritual

You want to teach children the origin of Halloween when you don't even know them yourself. How does that work?

"As Christians you and I are placed in this world to be a light in a world of darkness."


A world of darkness created by God, who apparently wants the world to be filled with evil from Satan because he lets Satan run around loose.
