I do know it's not for Jews or Righteous Gentiles.

only the queer parades shoudl be banned since they already have their gay pride day...

OR

ban the gay pride parade day and keep the halloween parade

OR

Just ban them both and send them to Iran for Ahemdenejad...since Iran lacks homosexuals and could use a little bit of fagottry

Now of course I dont' have a problem with most normal gay people...many are decent human beings otherwise..It's the rest of them that [censored] me off so much that i want to kick them in the nuts (what they have left of them).
If someone says something bad about you, say something nice about them. That way, both of you would be lying.

I think Halloween should be left as it is. We celebrate it and make it a positive event instead of a macabre holiday. We use the day/evening to have the kids express themselves.

It's the pagan Mid-Fall Festival. For Wiccans and Neo-Pagans, it's a religious holiday. They have 8 seasonal holidays: On the first day of the season and mid-season.


I never knew that but I'm still okay with halloween.

We were little kids, we would put on costumes and go out (oooo past dark which was something special for a little kid lol) and get candy...we werent thinking of anything but fun and candy....though it all seemed much safer back then.

I don't study witchcraft so I dont' get what you mean. What's AME? My children dress up as fairies, hula girls, and princesses during Halloween. Its fun. We dont' focus on evil. (Although I do love scary movies...but I digress).

I'm here because I was invited to ask Chaim questions in March. I asked them and got hooked into the discussions here that pertain to race. I like expressing myself and love that we have that freedom. So in short, I'm here because I CAN BE.

You don't even know what you just typed. That's not what I represent. But you sound more and more like the Anti-Christ, though.

I think that ultimately it has lost all of its pagan history and today is just a holiday for kids to get candy, nonetheless I think that ultimately it is pointless and as a Jew I already have enough holidays for joy and happiness (purim, hannukah, sukkot, simchat torah, shabbat......)and don't need one based on a pagan history.

My son is 11 and wont go out for halloween, says hes "too old" ;D
He plays travel hockey so most of his time is taken up with that after school anyhow.
I still buy candy, we get quite a few trick or treaters at the door.

Halloween shouldn't be banned, any meaning it may have had is long gone, at this point Halloween is nothing more than a masquerade party, harmless fun.
Nuke the arabs till they glow, then shoot them in the dark.

I agree with you NewYorker. I don't know anyone celebrating halloween by gathering together to cast spells on people. I know a few children and parents who enjoy getting dressed up in cool costumes. I also know of some opportunistic grown people who'd take candy just because its free. lol

A masquerade party isn't wrong, it's harmless fun.



A pagan ritual around a fire chanting to deities, goddesses, demons and whatnot is wrong.

Dressing up as Neo from the Matrix, having one or two too many drinks and getting the phone number of that cute girl that's dressed up as Xena the Warrior Princess is just good fun!  ::)
