ok..I've seen a lot of post lately saying that christmas needs to be about christ..but my question is..why do so many religious people celebrate halloween?? I mean..don't some religous people think halloween is evil? Then why do some still celebrate it??
everyone has their own beliefs so some people celebrate christ and others don't. No one should get bashed for not celebrating christ though.

I'm catholic and I celebrate Christmas, and I celebrate Halloween. I don't think Halloween is evil at all. My son always participated in our church sponsored Halloween parades in town.
Im Atheist and I celebrate Christmas and Halloween.....WHAT NOW?
; ) haha
Mine is mostly just tradition. :)
We're Christian and we celebrate Halloween. I think it's ridiculous when others get so hyped up that you're celebrating the devil and other stupid stuff. I went to a private school through 8th grade and it was their rule that if you were caught celebrating Halloween they would expel you. It was just so stupid.
"Love is patient. Love is kind. It does not envy. It does not boast. It is not proud. It is not rude. It is not self-seeking. It is not easily angered. It keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil, but rejoices in the truth. It always trusts, always protects, always hopes, always perserveres." 1 Corinthians 13:4-7

I don't know why the Cristians get so huffy..They are BOTH Pagan holidays and you don't see us Wiccan/Pagans getting all mad about the Christians taking them and changing them for thier beliefs....
Most religions are based on older relgiious holidays, it was done to help the older religious blend in with the newer ones...
And SOME christians get huffy not THE christians.
