Goetian Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 (edited) Bad things do happen on Halloween. I can tell you that there are Satanic groups in this area who will be slitting open the stomachs of their daughters and sacrificing the untimely ripped children to Satan. That's no joke, man. It also has little to do with dressing up for candy or praying for the souls of Catholic dead. Or pagan Samhain, which is on the same night, incidentally. Lots of groups think Halloween is important. Doesn't mean you have to agree with them all. Edited October 31, 2006 by Goetian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PVmelonhead91 Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 halloween wasmade by catholics, and everybody dressed up to scare the demons away. so there is nothing wrong with teenagers dressing scary...if you dress like a silly sally there is a problem. and just because peopl make human sacrafices on halloween doesnt make the day bad, they do that probably more then just on halloween. not letting your kids dress up as a witch is more then reasonable. but not letting them dres up at all and go out at all is just ludacris. (i just used a big word ) any ways. its just fun for kids to going to the store adn haveing you shell out 5 bucks isnt as fun. and you still dont get as much candy. its one nite a year that kids get to dress up and get candy for free, have a heart and bring your kids out.heaven forbid you sit out side and get a little cold for an hour or two.

curtins Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 I love halloween free candy = bliss theres no evil in taking ur kids out trick or treating when they're older and can go out on their own- if u know they're responsible and are going to get candy, not tp peoples houses etc then again everythings fine and dandy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suuran Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 Satanism is...well, from Satan, and if anyone's practicing it, engaging in occulic activities, or otherwise not being a good Catholic boy/girl, that's evil. If someone uses it as an opportunity to exercise an unhealthy fixation on gore and horror, that's also not cool. But trick-or-treating, costumes, and even some fun scares don't need to be connected to that in any way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wrestling team at my old high school had a tradition to go tp their coach's house every year. And every year, he knew it was them. Harmless joke.

Didacus Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 [quote name='homeschoolmom' post='1105439' date='Oct 30 2006, 06:34 PM'] I feel torn on this every stinkin' year. [/quote] So do I homeschool. But the thing is I 'impose' so much on the kids, "Prayer at super, church every sunday, ect..." that when Hallowe'en comes along I give a little back and let them dress up like everyone else. Besides, what Hallowe'en does is nothing compared to what the pagans (atheists) do with Christmas; now THAT is something to cry for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norseman82 Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 Well, since Oct. 31 is also Reformation Day, I can see how it is evil.

toledo_jesus Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 I agree with KizlarAgha about the Halloween stuff. I don't know anything about Satanic Ritual abuse. Halloween is fun, and if your kids are scared they will totally get over it. I know this because I still recall a man in a werewolf mask jumping out of his front door at us to threaten us with candy. My brothers and I screamed like crazy but we're fine now. The therapy wasn't even that expensive. One year (in my teens ) I took a whole bottle of fake blood and put it on my forehead to look like I had shot myself. A little fairy princess saw me and started crying...poor thing, she must have been three. I gave her extra candy.
