I don’t think that Christians should celebrate halloween but also they should stop poor innocent people who only see it as a fun time. We can show that there is and alternative to Halloween and all its darkness, death and celebrations of satan. It is all so scary and intreging for people and attracts people because they are searching for something and they like to be on the edge of fear. We as Christians should be showing them through our lives that it is far more exciting to have a relationship with God who has set us free from darkness and fear and is, in fact, the Light of the World. If people don’t see this joy,freedom and excitement in Christians they will turn to other things that seem more mysterious and exciting. Look at how many viewers the Prime Time series ‘Afterlife’ is getting on Saturday night because people want to know about death and what happens after it. We as Christians need to be ready and living life on the edge enough to show people the alternative. So don’t critise people who are searching in the wrong places show them otherwise!!!
