[QUOTE="JB Books, post: 1970053, member: 6889"] Halloween didn't have evil beginnings, just different, non-Christian, beginnings. In all due respect to our Charismatic and Fundamentalist membership here....don't you think some things are carried just a little too far? Do you really believe that by letting your kids dress up and Trick or Treat, you are somehow encouraging them to honor Satan? I mean, do you really believe that, or has some huckster who wants to sell you more books and dvds told you that? My sister in law is anti-Halloween, and a couple of years ago I asked one of my nephews what he was going to be, he responded, "We can't dress up for Halloween, Jesus will be mad at us." It was sad and disgusting. Kids should be allowed to be kids, Halloween, Christmas, the Tooth Fairy, the Easter Bunny, all of it. Why destroy the magic and wonder of childhood? They'll lose that soon enough when they grow up and face all the misery and pain life dishes out. Do you all really think God is so small minded and petty that He would get pissed off at little kids enjoying themselves? Common sense, folks, it's one of His gifts. [/QUOTE]
