Name: Daniel Anthony on Oct 27, 2004State: AKCountry: USComments: No Halloween This has got to be the funniest thing I've heard of, I mean please. You still get your Christmas and Easter celebrations in the schools. What holiday will you try and take away next, Thanksgiving The only thing being worshiped on Halloween is a bag of candy for most kids in this country. So if you don't believe in it thats fine, don't send your kids out. Just don't ruin it all for the rest of the kids and families that celebrate this holiday. I'm sure you think anyone that does celebrate this holiday is anti-God but that is not the case. I thought Christ taught you to be tolerant and understanding of your fellow man, and to "Love thy Neighbor". Will your true colors as Christians is showing yet again, your Lord Jesus would be so proud of you all.Flag

Name: Ben B on Sep 28, 2005State:Country:Comments: Im am a 16 year old student that has been raised in the catholic school education system my entire life. Your petition is rediculus. Why would halloween celebrations like ghosts and harry potter ever take away from kids religion. Halloween is what being a kid is all about because they get to have fun wearing costums, and trick or treating to get candy. And it wont matter if they get to do this in school because they will get to do it out of school. (I just hope your not the terrible kind of parent that doesnt let their kids wear costums and trick or treat on halloween!) To me it just sounds like you are mad and jealous that prayers and the ten commandments were taken out of schools and this entire thing isn't even about halloween. If you are truely christian, you go to church on sundays to learn about the ten commandments and praying.Flag

It's always been pagan, so are Easter and Christmas with the eggs, colors, the Christmas tree, santa Yawl should really look into it and stop that too.Flag

You may think it's sin....but, I think God will forgive us. Not to mention you parents that are for this, you shall be frowned upon. On Halloween, look at your kid. See the tears in their eyes, when they see the other children eating candy and having FUN! My heart goes out to you poor children. =(Flag

Name: Maxie Iunno on Mar 29, 2007State: MDCountry: USComments: Wow. This petition is the most stupidest one I've seen yet. xD Halloween is a fun holiday in which to dress up as your favorite character and walk around the neighborhood saying "Trick or treat" in order to gain candy. Schools have Haloween dances and everyone has a blast, especially the people dressed up. I'm Catholic and I don't see what the big deal is o-o I celebrate halloween every year, even though I'm in college, I still say you shouldn't let the LITTLE INNOCENT CHILDREN have no Halloween Celebration. D: In Short, I support Halloween Celebrations in Public Schools. :3 Shoot me.Flag

Name: Chirstian Frederiksen on Jun 27, 2007State:Country: CAComments: Hi there, I am here to bash you because you are incredibly stupid. Religion of any kind should not be enforced (and that is essentially what you are doing) in any secular school system, let alone a secular nation (yes, church and state are at least meant to be separate in the US). Halloween has been so commercialized that it can hardly be related to even your idea of "evil". You should reconsider your own values... are you chldren's activities this Halloween really doing anything to corrupt them, or society If anything, the fact that they are exercizing their imaginations should be a positive sign, as you need a vast imagination to be a Christian.Flag

Name: Yeah Right on Aug 20, 2007State:Country:Comments: Ok, this is rediculous. Halloween isn't demonic. It's a chance for kids to dress up and get lots of candy and make themselves sick. It's not like they're all going to turn into evil devil-worshipers by trick-or-treating. Halloween isn't a religious celebration, it's a fun thing for kids. Another thing- Harry Potter isn't demonic. It's a FICTIONAL book about FICTIONAL things.Seriously, get a life.Flag

Name: Karen Celtic on Oct 30, 2007State:Country:Comments: If you are stating that Chrisianity is NOT part of the Halloween celebration, then you'd best look into the history of your religion. Here is a snipit: By the 800s, the influence of Christianity had spread into Celtic lands. In the seventh century, Pope Boniface IV designated November 1 All Saints' Day, a time to honor saints and martyrs. It is widely believed today that the pope was attempting to replace the Celtic festival of the dead with a related, but church-sanctioned holiday. The celebration was also called All-hallows or All-hallowmas (from Middle English Alholowmesse meaning All Saints' Day) and the night before it, the night of Samhain, began to be called All-hallows Eve and, eventually, Halloween. Even later, in A.D. 1000, the church would make November 2 All Souls' Day, a day to honor the dead. It was celebrated similarly to Samhain, with big bonfires, parades, and dressing up in costumes as saints, angels, and devils. Together, the three celebrations, the eve of All Saints', All Saints', and All Souls', were called Hallowmas.Flag

Name: T. K. on Dec 4, 2007State: MACountry: USComments: This is hysterical. As I read these petitions I could not help but to be so disappointed. If you people cannot see that we are truly in the end days then you my friends have been truly blinded. Satan himself has come as an angel of light. Making things appear harmless, and fun. When people refuse to obey the bible or the word of God, then the Lord eventually turns them over to their own desires and sends them a strong delusion to believe a lie. Halloween, wicca, harry potter, come on people, you are not stupid. I am sure you are quite aware that these are not actions the apostles were taking in the times of Jesus. Surely you cannot say that you don't think that there is another realm at work in this world. You honestly can't say that life is only what you see with your natural eye The spiritual realm is at work as well. Or else why would so many profess to have faith Well if you believe that there is another realm at work in this life you live then you have to understand that when you participate in certain things doors in that realm can be opened. When those doors are opened spirits can and will enter in. What a coincidence that children are so easily swayed when it comes to spirituality, and halloween targets children, harry potter targets children, witchcraft or wicca targets children. Think about it people. Music can open doors. Now think about you teenager and how into music he or she is. I will go on to say that satan was not created as satan, he was an angelic being named lucifer. He was in charge of the music in heaven and he ushered in the presence of the Lord. His musical abilities were grand and they were never taken from him when he was banished from heaven. Now think about the influence of music on our young people today. Hopefully you can see my point. Everything in this world is either for God or against God. You say that there is nothing about these things in the bible, well maybe not in the words you would have chosen, but they are in there. Deuteronomy chapter 18 verses 10-12 says this: There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination ( which is fore telling the future), or an observer of times, or an enchanter(which is a sorcerer, as in harry potter),or a witch(sorry to the wiccans), or a charmer(which is the use of magic), or a consulter with familiar spirits(which is trying to make contact with the dead like what a phsycic would do), or a wizard(which is one devoted to black art), or a necromancer(which again is a sorcerer or magician that uses black magic). For all that do these things are an abomination unto the Lord: Now the word abomination means loathing or extreme distaste. So any participation in these things gives the Lord a distaste for us. We also know that the Lord is never changing so what is an abomination in the old testament is always an abomination. In the book of revelation in says that no abomination shall enter the kingdom of God. Do you really want to chance it buy something silly like halloween Are you gonna take your candy to heaven with you, or maybe your witch costume Not hardly. Nothing is worth burning in a lake of fire in my book. My main goal in this life is where I spend my eternal life.Flag
