For all the trolls...two days before Halloween. Enjoy.

Wouldn’t a church celebrating the mentioned “harvest festival” be rather, well, pagan?

They look forward to not celebrating it, every year.

Lots of churches provide a Halloween-like alternative in a Christian setting. This guy could have developed constructive alternatives for his family in far less time than it took to write this screed.

Berman makes the false assumption that in order to enjoy or celebrate Halloween you must enjoy or celebrate darkness, mayhem, the demonic, etc. Keep your Halloween more Monster Mash than Friday the 13th (better yet, keep it All Saints oriented), and you’ll be fine.

Halloween celebrates darkness, death, fear, and mayhem.Oh, bull cr@p.
When my kids were young we had great times at our church's harvest carnivals and then canvassed the local neighborhoods for as much sweet loot as they could gather.
It depends on whether the Christian parents have their priorities right and just let their kids have fun once in awhile.
To the best of my knowledge neither one of my adult kids are satanists.

I carve a pumpkin puking and give out candy to the half dozen kids who make it to my doorbell, but that's about it. My 10-year-old son doesn't do Halloween.

When I was a kid, my church suckered me into canvassing for UNICEF while we trick-or-treated. That by itself was pure evil.

I live in a nice quiet neighborhood with a bunch of 2nd generation (grand)kids. They’re all well behaved. I enjoy participating in trick~or~treat to see the joy on the little kids faces. When that goes away so will I.

I respect a person thinking through the issue and following their own conscience.
As for the harvest festivals, I have no opinion on that. When I was growing up my church would throw a big halloween party. It was fun, but not because it was a halloween party, just a party. But conscience clicked in years later and they started having harvest festivals.
The only think I really like about halloween is the candy. I can have that anytime. So I can live without it.

My mom made my kids Indian costumes this year, complete with a little gown for our papoose. My son will carry his wooden long gun, and our daughter will carry her Brave bow. The baby will carry her teething ring. Lol, the only thing eeeeevil about these costumes is how deliciously un-PC they are!
