Us Christians ShouldCelebrate Halloween
I personally believe that us christians should not celebrate or participate in Halloween. It is evil. It says it in the bible. In such scriptures as Romans 12:2 or 1 thessalonians 5:21-22 or ephesians 5:11

Celebrate it?

The freakin' christians invented all the "satanic" mumbo jumbo associated with it.

The original holiday of Samhain (a Celtic word, pronounced "sow-en") was a celebration to end the harvest season, it had nothing to do with "worshipping the dead" or other nonsense.

 Maybe it's a way of letting all the evil and good of the world have fun for one night.

I don't think anyone should. Nobody remembers or even cares why it exists; all kids care about is that they get to mooch candy off of strangers.

The verses you chose are extremely weak in trying to prove your point. They have nothing to do with the way Halloween is now celebrated. One must consider what Halloween oncw was and what it is now. It originally was a pagan ritual. Now it is just a fun time for kids and adults. You can't find scripture to defend your position, just as no one can find scripture to oppose your belief. One thing though, don't lump all believers into your mold. Instead of the word us, say I. Don't take Bible verses out of context just to try and prove a point.

 I agree with you pusspuss. I see nothing harmful in children carving a pumpkin into a lantern. It is a fun activity. I see nothing harmful in putting on a costume and going door to door and getting candy. The spooky scary factor is meant to be fun.
And Halloween was about HONORING the dead, not worshiping them. It is about paying respect. It is similar to memorial day in that respect. Just because some cultures choose to do this in a manner that is not the way you would doesn't make it EVIL. There is a difference between showing respect for the things we do not understand and worshiping them.

Umm it was started by christians who were afraid of the goobly gobbly things coming alive on all hallow's eve and left fruit and nuts on their porch to keep them happy and not do bad things to them....it has NOTHING to do with the "devil". Get educated. Halloween isn't about satan

Halloween isn't anymore evil than what you do at night when you're all alone.

Hahahaha...
I resent the 'Us Christians" part of your statement. You make it seem like Christians are superior to others. That's funny.
Also, if you actually knew anything about the Bible, you'd realize you can trust almost noting out of it. It wasn't even written by God and it's been translated and tweaked dozens of times throughout history. Try quoting some reliable Christian source, if there are any..
Finally, people shouldn't take Halloween so seriously. It's a day for fun and good times. Only the freaks actually go out and honor the devil, so relax, eh?
Christians...SO God-like...

1) Christians already hijacked other pagan holidays by declaring their dates their own and giving them different meanings. Why don't you just do the same with Halloween? 2) Let your kids have some fun. If Jesus Christ were 6 years old today I bet even he would want to dress up like something. 3) If you REALLY believe Halloween is evil and that the devil walks the earth that night then you're probably less mature than your children.

Uh, I was disagreeing with the subtext of the topic, not disagreeing with Halloween obviously.

 no he wouldnt, because even if he were here and 6 years old today (and he i mean Jesus) he would still be the son of God. and God says not to participate in such ativities. therefore, your arguement has no solid foundation to stand on. which means your comment is completely moronic, rediculous, and retarded to say the least.
