Every year at this time, I hear pompous religious zealots cry out against Halloween because of its pagan origin. Some have called for a boycott of Halloween while others have warned about eating candy on Halloween because it could be “cursed by witches.” However these same Christians do not speak out against Christmas and it’s pagan roots.In fact, these Christians try to claim that Christmas is a Christian holiday when in fact it is rooted in paganism as well. Remember, most historians believe that Jesus was born in the spring and not December. The pagan god was born on the Winter Solstice, otherwise known as Christmas or Yule.
All in all, remember that these people are simply intolerant of others, be they people of other faiths or homosexuals, freethinkers, and feminists. It is our job as intelligent people to ignore these Christian Gestapo and practice our beliefs and lifestyles while ignoring the attacks brought about by the evangelical community.
If you by chance would like to hear what evangelicals think about Halloween, simply visit:

You will read, for yourself, the stupidity voiced by these individuals.
