I am somewhat torn on this issue. How many people know the history of Halloween? How it originated, what it celebrates, and who gets the glory of the celebration…….

Is God anywhere in Halloween?

We allow our children in our society to participate in this event but why? Really….why? I know it seems so harmless on some levels and it is so commercialized but does that make it ok? Dressing up as ghouls, goblins, demons, and promoting fear…..is that good?

I know that children getting candy is not a bad thing. I know that costume dressing is harmless based on the selection of the costume. I know that going to a carnival and enjoying the caramel apples, bobbing for apples, cake walks, and candy, is not bad.

However is Halloween ok if you only participate in the ok parts of it or the parts that seem harmless? Or is it wrong all together to participate in something that doesn’t praise, worship, or have God anywhere in it?

This is not to judge anyone. I am weighing this topic in my head. What are your thoughts on Halloween? What do you know about it? Do you participate? Why? I would love to get a lot of different views and perspectives on the subject.
