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.
