We've created a mell of a hess for them to grow up in as it is, IMO! Halloween is the least of their problems!

I would contend that our problems have increased as we've turned increasingly against God. The popularity of Halloween seems to have increased proportionally to the degree with which we've shut God out of government and culture.

It also promotes the self-entitlement culture. Give me my treat or else you will get a trick. No wonder so many kids grow up to be liberal.

I was only about 6 years old (1947) when I was taken to a Catholic Church by my Uncle and Aunt to a Halloween celebration (a scare house) - my foster mother came along quite reluctantly.

She told me that both the Church and Halloween celebration was an insult to Christianity. I'm now 71, and I've come to believe she was quite correct.

People can (and do) find sin in almost anything when they want to!

Are you one of those who finds evil in nursery rhymes?

Halloween seems to have increased proportionally to the degree with which we've shut God out of government and culture.

Or, to the degree the Chinese discovered ghosts and Jack-O-Lanterns and it's been commercialized!

If you don't like Halloween, fine. Don't go trick or treating!
