Halloween is, to me, a great time of year.
I mean its like "come as you aren't night". You get to dress up, no matter how old you are, and everyone gets tricks and treats of all sorts. Everywhere its like a ghoulish creepy setting in a safe lil' neighborhood. No monsters or goblins be found here, they must hate how marketable the whole evening-- no season-- has become.
It's hard for me to imagine that some families deny this holiday as a rule. Not because of some personal distaste for the holiday itself because I can except that some don't enjoy it, but because of religiousness. They see it as a satanic holiday. Satanism, if you are too stupid to know, is the worshiping of the devil. What satan-worshiping do we do on this holiday? Nobody really knows I think.
Do Satans followers in hell really dress up in costumes and go door to door and ask for candy?
This scenario seems a little unlikely but isn't it adorable to imagine?
Also it must be taken into account that alot of so called "satan worshipers" dont really do anything. They are just Atheists who enjoy the darker side of life. They don't actually go "Oh my god the devil is like my best friend" and such. The dont sacrifice animals to anyone. I heard somewhere someone said something like "satanism was like partially created just to piss off Christians".
So yeah.
It's not evil for your child to dress up in a harmless costume and ask for candy. It's a holiday. And Halloween isn't one of those holidays reserved for certain religions. It's free of charge. Well for the most part.

good post, but i do wish to say one thing
most atheists arent devil worshipers
in fact, most atheists dont believe in satan either, they just dont believe in any sort of superior spiritual being
that being said, you know how i feel about halloween, and you kinda hinted to why i dont like halloween
and that was where you said how marketable the whole holiday has become, and thats what bothers me. the way that halloween and many other holidays have been so far corporatized (yes i just made up that word) to the point where they lose almost all of their meaning and for me, it loses the joy of the holiday
now, im not saying that halloween is the worst at this, id say christmas for that, but still, i see it, and im just disgusted, and that is why i dont like most holidays
