Well for a lot of Christians Halloween is taboo. There are some that will allow it if the costumes are not related to witchcraft or the demonic - skeletons, mummies, Freddie Krueger or A-Rod. I suppose for others it s free-for-all, and anything goes.
There are lots of reasons for not having
Halloween:
- It doesn't center are around a biblical event like Christmas or Easter, though all three are formed around pagan celebrations..
- The word pumpkin isn't even in the Bible - tolerance isn't either, but that's another blog.
- The few times dead things got up and walked around, it wasn't dark out. (Matthew 27:52, John 11:44) etc.
- Some Satanists actually do human sacrifices on Halloween.
- It's a Wiccan festival.
- The trick-or-treat ritual was practiced by the Druids and their followers in medieval times.
- Candy is bad for your teeth.
