I’m link hopping. I’ve always been fascinated with the historical origins of… um, everything. And I think this also kind of speaks to why people STILL dress up in scary costumes, even though it’s lost its religious significance. If you’ve ever seen a bully imitate (mock) his intended victim, it’s sort of saying “Hah! I’m not afraid of you!” This is pretty much how we behave when trying to psyche ourselves out of being afraid. Like hearing a spooky sound and then loudly saying “oooOOOooo” and laughing.

OK, so this comment isn’t strictly on topic, but it did make me think.

Like anything, if taken to extremes, it can become “evil”. For me, that manifests itself in overeating. (Currently, I’m struggling with this big time. I am in need of prayer to even have the desire to combat it). Back to Halloween. As my sons became older, they wanted to wear scary customes. I gave in because I just didn’t want to fight them on it…and it was only one day of the year…they don’t dress that way now. What a relief to know that maybe it’s not that big of a deal in the grand scheme of things. Thanks for the information Frank.

I’ve never heard that before. My mom raised me to believe that Halloween was evil. Do you know how much candy I’ve missed out on? Thanks for the informative post.

Indeed–let us celebrate the defeat of demons–not the darkness, death, and fear commonly associated with this holiday!

Here is why this Christian doesn’t celebrate Halloween. Maybe my reasoning will resonate with you!

Why have I never heard this before? Those of us old enough to remember Mike Warnke know of his campaigning against Halloween as demonic in origin and current practice. We favored strictly “fall festivals” instead. When it was made clear that most of Mike Warnke’s “testimony” of being a satanic priest was lies (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_Warnke), we took another look at whether letting our young children dress up as witches and devils and taking them trick or treating in the neighborhood was really that evil. But there was always some faint guilt.
Mocking and ridiculing the forces of evil? Beautiful!!
Now, what about the Mexican Day of the Dead?………….can we sanctify eating skeleton candies?
