The devil has the best candy
Halloween is fun. People dressing up, going to parties, spending time together. It is in fact my favourite holiday. So I get annoyed when certain people, most often Christians, proclaim that is a sin to celebrate it. I mean come on, people aren’t actually taking it seriously; they don’t drink yak’s blood, summon demons or seek counsel from the devil. To suggest that Halloween is evil is ridiculous, it’s all pretend. Perhaps they’re just jealous because they never got invited to any Halloween parties or weren’t allowed to trick or treat as a child? I can understand that some people don’t celebrate it, because, well, they just don’t see the point. That’s fair enough, I don’t celebrate Easter. But when people write blog posts warning other people of the dangers of celebrating Halloween I just get angry. I don’t write posts telling them not to celebrate Christmas, not explicitly anyway. And worse yet is that I hear some Priests in Churches warn children against trick or treating. That’s just down right cruel, sure Halloween is about being scared and scaring people, but to tell a child that they risk spending eternity in hell for asking for sweets… That is just plain wrong in my book.
Unfortunately, due to the unimproved condition of my throat infection I didn’t make it out tonight. Instead I stayed in and watched scary movies all night. And none of that pseudo-scary film nonsense like Scream. Anyway, a few more changes have been completed. I’ve now made it easier to share the site with other people, should you so wish. You can bookmark the site using the icons in the side bar, and you can email the site to your friends and get the code to put any comic in your forum sig or website by clicking the link above the icons. Go on, give it a try. If only to tell me that it works!
Oh, there’s also a few voting buttons at the bottom of the side bar, so if you want to help me out, click on them to give me a vote. You can do it everyday if you are feeling extra nice. Annnnnd there’s two more wallpapers for you to download. Hope you like them.

While I agree with a lot of what usually say - Here I’m not too sure.
I’m a believer in supernatural forces. I believe there are witches and demons, and that the devil exists.I believe these forces can be extremely harmful.
I don’t actually think that an 11 year olds trick or treating antics once a year is a soul damning offense - But I don’t think its healthy to introduce kids to these supernatural forces as if they were playthings to be laughed at. Stimulating interest in the occult at an early age, could have harmful effects in later life. I give trick or treaters sweets, ’cause they are just kids having fun.
If in the future I have kids however, i wouldn’t be happy with them trick or treating.

I disagree with Joel here. Halloween is now mass-produced. I know I’m not thinking about Jesus when drinking rum and egg nog around some big ass tree, Halloween is no different from that. I dress up eat candy and party then too. Maybe take my cousins to a few doors… They’d be pissed if they didn’t get to dress up like a fairy, a ninja and Jason from Firday The 13th to go out and create cavities.
You have fun with your magicalness, I’m going to steal some Butterfingers from my little brother.

The freaking pope screwed Halloween.
IT used to be the Celtic Wicans (witches from ireland) who were men AND women and believed that on october 31 of every year, the souls of the dead went to the underworld. And the souls of the underworld came back here.
See, they believed in no heaven or hell, only that you live a life here, then go there, then it keeps going around like a circle.
And what little tradition is left is being destroyed by apathy.
Goodbye favourite holiday.

wasn’t the dressing up aspect to scare the dead back to the land of the dead? I’m sure thats wrong but I definitly remember no actual devil worship in any itteration of the halloween before the modern era

No I think the dressing up part was to hide you’re face from all the spirits that rise from the dead and I think it was also a pagan holiday for something or another. I don’t know, google it.

I, too, disagree with Joel. I believe in the supernatural too, but kids hardly get taught the supernatural side of Halloween anymore, not really. They’re not being taught to treat the supernatural as a plaything, they’re just being given another day to get candy and have fun.
I mean, Easter was once a pagan celebration, but look at what happened to that. Are you going to be saying next that children should not celebrate Easter because it teaches them to take worshipping season gods lightly or something?
