Whoa,.. "Devil's holiday" and here I thought it was all about commemorating the souls of the dead?

Because my mother has been making me do it since I was little. She has always worked midnights-8Am so I had to do it. I still do it for her, but try and give out all the candy as quickly as possible. I shouldn't even do it since I don't believe, but it's to make my mother happy and probably so evil kids don't egg our house and cars.

When I say I don't believe in it that means I don't celebrate it as in like dressing up and getting candy from strangers. I always handed out the candy just because kids have fun with it and I was asked to. If I had kids though they wouldn't be celebrating Halloween. I also don't believe in the whole tradition.
And for whoever posted a link.. here's one for you..

It's the devils holiday and I worship God not the devil.

Ok, not to induce a "flaming" but, when you see a post that offends you or you have strong religious convictions for, when it is in a lighthearted conversation such as this, I reccommend just not saying anything at all. My response to the last sentance in you post is ....Keep your beliefs re: religion to yourself. It wasnt titled "the non-devil worshipers what r u wearing for halloween" thread! GOOOSSSHHHH! THAT IS ALL! peace out

For work, I'm dressing up as one our policy forms along with the rest of my unit because we're dorks like that.
For a party on Saturday and maybe on Monday for handing out candy, I have a camo corset, some big boots, a blue wig and a lot of makeup so whatever you want to call that, that's what I'll be being. 8)

OK, I've decided. I'm going to be ill
I've had a horrendous cold for nearly two weeks now. I'm on decongestants for the twelfth day in a row and am still coughing. At the current rate of progress I'm still going to be unwell until well into next week
I don't think it's bird flu!
I hope everyone who is planning to have fun this weekend has a great time still.

What I believe is right for me. I have no religion, but I have my own faith and beliefs. I never said what I believe is right for everyone.

Exactly,.. my link was just to show that there are even catholic churches that do not judge or condemn Halloween as a holiday of the "Devil" and to give another view of the holiday. I am neither for or against,.. and respect someone else has a different opinion than me. I do however think it is interesting that the link posted in response is a link to someone's opinion not sanctioned by any recognized group. I have a little insight into Wicca, Druidism, and the Catholic Church, and evil is as evil does and judge not lest ye be judged,..are my operating beliefs. Sorry if I offended with my informational link,.. not trying to discount anyone's belief here. I thought it would be taken as informational and it seems that at least most of the gals here got that.
