Why the fuck do people wanna skip Halloween?

Posted by aviewaskewed Oct. 10, 2008 @ 12:53 AM EDT

I really love Halloween. Lot's of people don't, those people suck. Seriously.

By the way, you know what the big argument against Halloween has been right? The big people against it? Really really conservative Christians, cause it's "pagan".

If you fit the description of ultra conservative Christian, I want you to keep reading, I really do. Because you need a history lesson. Let's roll that beautiful bean footage:

The Christian Religion as currently practiced by the great majority, was basically "invented" by the Roman Emperor Constantine as a means to unite his empire after winning a Civil War for the throne. But Constantine was a PAGAN, he worshipped a sun god. His "conversion" to Christianity was basically a political sham. He immediately began changing the trappings of the religion immediately to fit his Sun God worship, but just putting it under a different name, and then rigidly formalizing it into an organized political machine (hello Catholic Church). You can learn this in any decent history class or source. You're religion has many many pagan roots, so screw this idea of "oh paganism bad". Shut up, you don't want to celebrate? Don't, that's absolutely your right. But don't fuck it up for people who do!!!

There is nothing inherently wrong or evil with Halloween, the original idea and what not of the holiday is long gone and it's simply evolved into a day in which people can pretend to be someone else, have fun, and kids can go door to door, be a favorite character, and eat candy till their sick. Scary movies invade our TV's and multiplexes (some great, some trash). It's just FUN! Anyone against fun I have no use for, none, not a bit, go away.

Also, if we're going to start arguing about Halloween being a religious holiday and trying to use that backdoor to get it out of schools and elsewhere, well Christmas is too, so do away with that also. What? You don't have a problem with Christmas? But it's a religious holiday like Halloween is! See, just killed that argument too.

Also stores? STOP PUSHING CHRISTMAS IN SEPTEMBER OR OCTOBER!!! YOU JUST PISS US OFF. I've hated anytime I've had to help unload a bloody truck lately and there's like one pallet of Halloween decorations and stuff, and like two of Christmas. I know the Christmas sells better, that's where the big money is made, but come on! Do we really need that much that soon? Really? I think not.

So in the end, if you don't like Halloween, just make that your own personal opinion and don't try to screw around with other people's fun and good time.

Yes I agree with you completly. I actual knew about the History but glad you did your research. It was just like the day of the dead and you don't see Plus your right in the sense that it's along with Christmas has become commercialized and we're losing sight of what it's really about.

Halloween: Pagan holiday to honor the dead.

Thanksgiving: Holiday where the Native Americans lent a helping hand to the sick malnurished pilgrims and then get swindled out of their land which to mass genocide.

Christmas: Celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ

Just started to read your articles and blogs and find that you do a good job in writing them. Hope thosesuper Christian's don't lynch you because you're wearing a costume and partying it up.

We're pretty tolerant around here. It just makes me so sad to think these idiots are ruining it for other kids. You know most (if not all) states are banning any kind of in-school Halloween party now? Seriously. It's just so sad to me that we're really letting a few people ruin the fun for everybody.

Oct. 10, 2008 | 1:41 PM DELUCA2400 says:

Yeah about two years ago they took away our Halloween dance because of some crazy Christians. They don't even take the time to research the just blindly accuse everything as evil and we even presented a well thought report and as soon as they seen that they were wrong they dismissed it. Oh well out of highschool now.

Oct. 11, 2008 | 3:08 AM aviewaskewed responds:

Because research and critical thought doesn't work for their points. It's amazing to me how many of these folks would probably love to go back to the medieval times of no printing or widespread knowledge of reading and don't you dare question the church. A lot of those people are the same ones that deny evolution and such. To me it just smacks of a lack of faith...if you can't believe in a point strongly enough that you don't need everyone else in the world to believe in it and think the same way as you do? Then your faith is crap, or your a manipulative assbag. Teh Edn.

I live in australia dude.

Oct. 11, 2008 | 3:04 AM aviewaskewed responds:

There's no halloween there? That's super gay!!! I do love australia though. Everytime I buy something from you guys on ebay my dollar goes further, that doesn't really happen anywhere else. So viva Australia

Yeah I couldn't help but notice Christmas stuff in stores BEFORE even the Halloween costumes came out. I have to be honest though, when I look at those little outfits, I feel a little sad that I never trick or treated in my life - just wasn't big enough when I was growing up, now a few more kids do it in the right areas, and sadly I'm part that age =(

Oct. 13, 2008 | 2:22 AM aviewaskewed responds:

Never? I think I may cry! So many good memories doing that, I loved the trick or treating more then the candy when I was little : ' (

Yeah, I'm Australian too, and I'm a little disappointed that we don't have Halloween. Cue Newgrounds. If all goes to plan, I'll have a couple of horror collabs in the portal by halloween. And as far as Christmas goes, I work in a trade/DIY warehouse, and we've got christmas lights set up at the front of the store. What the hell? People come here to buy hammers and saws and timber and paint and kitchens and bathrooms and plants. Decorative lighting is a small part of the lighting section, also a small part in a massive store.

Your blog had me wondering what you do for Halloween?

Oct. 21, 2008 | 7:59 PM aviewaskewed responds:

Ususually I watch some horror movies and crap like that. I just enjoy the idea of it, for a couple years we did a "haunted lawn" kind of gag, but everybody in the house works and has other commitments now so we haven't been able to do it.

Oct. 19, 2008 | 4:17 AM Redface says:

All holidays nowadays are pointless, crassly commercialized, and bland. I have no use for them. But you can always get candy cheap the day after so there's that.

WE NEED HALLOWEEN IN OZ DAMMIT!

I WANT TO CELEBRATE THIS AMERICAN HOLIDAY!

Oct. 21, 2008 | 7:57 PM aviewaskewed responds:

I now propose that all Australians rise up as one and demand Halloween.

"Give me Halloween! Or give me death!!"

Oct. 23, 2008 | 7:16 PM SevenSeize says:

You replied to everyone BUT me and foangel.

We demand attention....and 6 dollars in compensation.

Man the worst part of growing up has to be growing up. I mean sure you can by liquor and drive and such but it's not worth doing if you have to "work". Isn't the meaning of the new "comercialized Halloween to have fun? I suggest you and your roommates Party like it's 1999!!!!

The more you know!!!!

Oct. 27, 2008 | 9:27 PM sirtom93 says:

It's as fun as every other commercialized event.

Candy, hot women dressed sluttily, punkass teenagers too old to trick-or-treat egging the shit out of other's property. Halloween's GREAT!
