Whee! I love Halloween. I'm going to be something obscure this year...not sure what. I looked for a Hong Kong Fuey (sic?) costume last year but couldn't find one. Maybe Grape Ape costumes are still around. Hmmm....
We have tons of practices and holidays based upon outdated traditions from various different sources...I see no reason why Halloween is evil unless you make it that way in your mind.
Well if you ever visit the US, you must come at Halloween...It's everywhere advertised...set up all kinds of really scary haunted houses to visit tooo....some to scary for me...have to go in and close my eyes going through....and I watch scary movies.....but some of those houses are way tooooooo scary...people touch you...and have chain saws, and through slimy things on you and have strobe lights...and people freekin out in electric chairs....and ..............good stuff.
BUMP. I would've made a new thread, but this one came up with my search.
I was shopping yesterday at the mall for my Halloween costume, like I always do, since I go "all out" for my favorite holiday, and I found the cutest little costume of a little witch complete with pointed hat and broom. I figured that this would be the perfect outfit for my daughter so she can have a great first time trick-or-treating. Some arrogant b*tch actually had the nerve to say to me, "You're actually going to dress your child up as a witch?" I said to her, "Yeah. What the hell do you care?" She just looked at me like I was some kind of freak and walked away. What the hell is it with these holier-than-thou idiots who think that Halloween is an evil holiday? And what difference does it make what kind of costume I buy for my own child?
I'm being a demon/wraith/spirit thing...
Seriously, I can't believe people could think Halloween is evil. It is the best, most fun holiday, without exception. You get to dress up, be silly, and get candy! What's so evil about that? It's a day where kids get to have fun, and adults act like kids.
Really, I don't understand how people can think Halloween is evil.

Some people believe that fun is evil, or is it the other way around? 😄
Re: Halloween is evil?
Originally posted by Prince NaujHalloween is a date when people wore attire such that would scare away evil spirits, as well as other practices. Today people wear costumes as a means of entertainment and gather candy, other practices, for the most part, haven't been replicated by people not of those faiths. Are either of the two practices, one of which no longer holds any of the belief that the original held, in conflict with the concept of good? I do not believe so, it is good to do things that would turn an evil spirit, and if this is not the intent, it is not wrong to play dress-up.
Ive heard a lot of people say this holiday is evil and that you are worshipping the devil which of course is a lot of crap. If you really look back into the history of halloween the reason people dress up is to scare those evil spirits away and the reason they created jack o lanters is for light and to also scare those evil souls away. I love this holiday and I dont really believe you are worshipping the devil. So what are your thoughts about halloween?
Originally posted by Sir Nauj🙄 Crazy Americans STILL don't know shit about Halloween and what it represents. I bet next you'll say it's celebrating the burnings of witches and things like that.
