so-called "Christians" do many questionable things..mainly having to do with entertainment. I am a Christian, I do not celebrate Halloween, I do not let my children read Harry Potter, and I do not watch Buffy the Vampire Slayer.. but then again..some people find entertainment more important than pleasing God. Understand here, I am only criticizing other Christians who do these things... everyone is free to do as they please of course..but if you're gonna talk the talk....

I'm a Christian and I don't celebrate halloween. I was taught since I was very young that it was a pagan holiday. But it's true, some Christians DO celebrate it. And I believe that's wrong. They shouldn't.

Christians would criticize me for being an atheist, yet they will "celebrate" a macabre pagan holiday.

As soon as I learned the origins and meaning of Halloween, my family stopped celebrating it. It was tough on the kids at the time, but they now rise up and call me blessed.

Did he mention the Easter (Ishtar) bunny and it's fertility eggs or the Christmas tree defeating the darkness?

Thank you Constantine.

Actually, Halloween is short for "all hallows eve" which in modern English is "the evening before ALL Saints day".http://www.petersnet.net/research/retrieve_full.cfm?RecNum=3169

I hate Halloween, and really always have. For me it's on a very personal levlel, and not based on the logical arguments regarding it's origins and symbolism.

 Most atheists are so caught up in their polemics, they have become
nothing more than anti-Christians - or what I call the Religious Left
(a collaboration of the Marxist religion, neo-pagan
animal/tree/earth worshipper eco-fascists and general technophobes).

Being antireligion means being against the subornation
of rationality in favor of ancient superstitions.   I think
it is fair to say that their were atheists long before Marx,
and that carelessly blending the two is subersive of
good sense.  As to atheists being generally technophobic,
I challenge you to provide a cite for that.
