So why are Western monotheists still celebrating these pagan holidays? I find them interesting for academic reasons but I don't condone Jews or Righteous Gentiles participating in them.



The Pagan Hollidays when converted to Christian ones by early medival church to get all those people who were interested more in rituals and fun not  than in essence; and to undermine all pagan concurention becouse they so were popular: for ex: the 25 of December was the day of birth of solar god Sol Invictus and Saturnalia ; Jews have their own Holidays which shud be celebrated by them like Hanukah;  other western "monotheists"  don't have an alternative; I "celebrate" christmas only when I'm with my parents who're catholics. The Great Sunday is much more important Holiday anyway and it's not pagan.       
Jeremiah 8:11-17

11 They dress the wound of my people as though it were not serious. Peace, peace, they say, when there is no peace.

12 Are they ashamed of their loathsome conduct? No, they have no shame at all; they do not even know how to blush. So they will fall among the fallen; they will be brought down when they are punished, says the LORD.

13 'I will take away their harvest, declares the LORD. There will be no grapes on the vine. There will be no figs on the tree, and their leaves will wither. What I have given them will be taken from them.'

14 Why are we sitting here? Gather together! Let us flee to the fortified cities and perish there! For the LORD our God has doomed us to perish and given us poisoned water to drink, because we have sinned against him.

15 We hoped for peace but no good has come, for a time of healing but there was only terror.

16 The snorting of the enemy's horses is heard from Dan; at the neighing of their stallions the whole land trembles. They have come to devour the land and everything in it, the city and all who live there.

17 See, I will send venomous snakes among you, vipers that cannot be charmed, and they will bite you, declares the LORD.

Love your Enemy
And Heap Burning Coals on his Head!!!

Then celebrate at a Purim party or have a Secular dance party. Why does it have to be for a pagan holiday?


In my opinion, Halloween goes beyond pagan, IMHO, it's Satanic.

I do celebrate at Purim parties and other parties. Why can't I celebrate a so-called pagan holiday?

You are the one who is asking whether Halloween should be banned. BANNED? You want to ban Halloween? With all due respect, that proposal flies in the face of the freedom I cherish living here in the United States.

Should all things that are considered satanic by a miniscule number of people be banned?

All of Iran considers the United States to be the 'Great Satan'. Should the United States be dissolved?

Excellent!
He never once tried to take his costume off.
He was very protective of BullCat Jr. and he even picked up some dog treats from the neighbors along the way.  O0

If the kids want to look really scary they should dress as muslims.

  The more you  ban things the more power you give them...think prohibition, or marijuana laws..............lead by example, if everyone did there would be no problems.......

Follow the logic a bit further, let's legalise murder, so that it's no longer "underground", and so less people will do it...

Murder is defined by God's law and there is no other way to define it is there?

Some time ago I had the Jehovah Wittiness's banging on my door and one of the points they were trying to make was that pagan holidays like Halloween should be put to an end. I have a problem with people like this forcing their belief's on me and to be honest I dislike people proselytizing at my door step. Halloween is a fun day for kids to get out and have some fun nothing more. Not many people think of it being a day connected with religion. I won't repeat what I told the witness to go and do with themselves but thinking about it now it was a good suggestion for miserable people like that.
