Halloween..Fun for kids OR Satanism in the making?

Halloween is so much fun, for the kids to get their yearly loot of free candy, and for teens to just dress up in awesome costumes 😊

This year, a few of my friends and myself are contemplating on dressing up Kill Bill style and just walking around town... you can't do that every day 😂

Halloween isn't satanic in the least --- but people are probably scared of their kids being abducted or harmed.... so gee, how about you *gasp* go with them! Don't neglect your children and they'll be perfectly safe! Is it really so hard to take an hour or two and follow in your car, or walk with them? Fear is probably also another big factor in decreased halloween numbers

😬

It also seems like more and more houses arnt participating. theres this tailgate thing where I live and you go to the cars and take candy. Me and my friends will just put on a hat and dump the baskets into pillow cases and leave. I got a pillow case and A half last year

As my children have grown up I have seen Halloween parties at school become completely non-existant. Now we have "fall festival". WHY? Because the "religious" peeps in the district decided it was all the work of Satan. Halloween is dressing up and going out and snagging a bagfull of candy. PERIOD. At least in my mind. Its my opinion that these peeps should have just left their kid at HOME if they didnt want them to participate. Why do the beliefs of the "few" seem to be foistedoff on the many now a days?

I already mentioned this in another thread, but in the school district where my mom works, they banned having any sort of Halloween festivities... You can't even wear a costume anymore.

Anyways... Yeah, it's extremely stupid. Halloween started as a pagan festifal, but that was centuries ago, it no longer has any religious meaning. It's less harmful than Christmas in my eyes. Halloween is just a fun thing that nobody should be prevented from doing because of what some religious nutcase says.

Halloween is probably my 2nd favorite holiday. If I didnt get presnts for Christmas, Halloween would be number 1.

the year Halloween ends will be a sad year indeed . its an all out fun night for children and adults alike .

my 12 yr old daughter already has her costume planned for this year and has been set on this idea since last Halloween . she's can hardly wait till October gets here so she can mark off the days so to speak .

😱 she's gonna be Santa Clause...

its the embodiemnt of satan. i have never gone tick or treating.

Are you serious dude? 😑

the first part no and second part yes

Oh... Well why haven't you ever gone trick or treating? Used to be my favorite night of the year when I was younger ✅

well first off my parents were to cheap to buy costumes second i dunno i could never find a costume i actually liked.

I see.

the only thing i even do at halloween is give out candy.

But it's Halloween. And you could just put on a hat and say thats your cosum, they would have still given you candy.

W/E i am now too old to T or T.

Well, there aren't really that many wackos going around doing satanic rituals. If there are, they're doing it in their home not bothering anyone, so no big deal. As long as parents take precautions, their kids are perfectly safe.

Thats true, they don't do the rituals in the middle of the streets LOL 😄 and I thk parents shld be w/their kids trick or treating, then you will no worries.

Halloween I think is one of my favorite holidays.. I love dressing up.. and I can still pass as 14 year old .. so i can still get candy when I take my sister out ... Plus their is hunted houses ... and fun things like that
So I think Halloween is just a fun day.. dont think its bad or anything like that.. .in fact I hope we will always have halloween.

The only Halloween memories I have are of my mother yelling at the trick or treaters to go away. I wanted to go out, but my mother never let me. 🙁

same here but my dad then posted a sign at the front door that said GO AWAY NO CANDY!. and it worked but some times pp still knocked on our door.

I agree, at least when they're young. But after a while I think allowing them to go out with a large group of friends is perfectly fine.
