Millions of young people around the world are growing up enjoying one of the greatest commercial and retailing growths in decades. That of Halloween, without wishing to be a killjoy we should not forget it is a Pagen tradition that has been encouraged for commercialism over decades in the USA and now in the wider world.

It is also very frightening for millions and has mental issues.
Enjoy it but do not take it too seriously, remember it is also basically anti religious based on pagen teaching and traditions, look after those neighbours especially the very elderly so don’t let your children go over the top with trick or treat.

So let me get this right. According to the OP, Pagan is bad and Religion is good.

To my mind religion has a lot to answer for. I cannot think of an instance over the last few hundred years where Paganism has been the cause of so much death and destruction.

I would counter the OP by saying that religious teachings and traditions have an awful lot to answer for.

Couldn't have put it better myself Prestbury. The amount of anti pagan vitriol on the site from, I must say what appears to be a very few posters is awful. What happened to religious tolerance?
