Not to start an argument, but most Holidays now are pretty secular these days.heh... and here i was thinking most of us were athiest or agnostic...
gotta love contradiction.
I have never associated Halloween with any religion in my life. Maybe it's origin is nonsecular, but I just want to be Spider-Man =/heh... and here i was thinking most of us were athiest or agnostic...

It's derived from paganism. Just like Christmas.I have never associated Halloween with any religion in my life. Maybe it's origin is nonsecular, but I just want to be Spider-Man =/
I think I might... you deserve a cookie (but don't knock on my door to get it!).Scare them away, then!
That's why many people love Halloween. It's pure fun.No gospels need to be sung. No ceremonies to attend. No religious tolerance. For one day I am allowed to put on a mask, don a new identity, and have it be normal. And there is candy everywhere!Stuff has changed since 2 years ago. Halloween is somehow making an appearance all over the country, though not a single soul knows what exactly Halloween is. They all act retarded, demand free candy and decorate their house with ugly plastic spiders and bats, but the folklore behind it goes right over their heads.
This makes me hate Halloween. I detest celebrating holidays just for the sake of celebrating something with no regards to folklore or anything.
the origin of halloween derived from a pagan custom, which was made "christian-like" by the catholic religion. following halloween is the ritual called all souls day, where people go to church to pray for their dead. people tend to be unaware of the origin of such a custom, and find the many symbols and practices of this event to be fun. people also commercialized this event to make money from people.That's why many people love Halloween.
