You always here about how there is a "War on Christmas" but what about war on Halloween. You always hear about how everyone get all offended if you don't say "Merry Christmas" how is it just about every church doesn't agree with Halloween but they have a "Fall Festival." The issue is that no one really has an issue with it. But if you ever say "Happy Holidays" or if a business does this then they are wrong. Wouldn't those that do a Fall Festival have a double standard?
In realty does it really matter. I have always lived by a simple philosophy that your faith is between you and your deity. If you want to pray to the Goat you can. I don't really care. What bothers is when you tell me the Goat is the only way to salvation and that I am wrong for not believing.

I used to work with a fellow who was heavily fundamentalist Christian. He firmly believed that Halloween was indeed a pagan holiday for devil worship of one kind or another. Even if they changed the name to be PC it would never rub off on folks like my friend. It would take generations for the ostensible pagan origins of the day to be forgotten.

Maybe because they don't want to limit a festival specifically to a holiday if it has nothing to do with that holiday. Fall is commonly celebrated across many cultures as a sign of gratitude for the harvest. So instead of costumes and candy, this festival is more centered around the harvest of fall.

It's just like politics; I don't care one bit what you believe. If you do your job and have my six when it counts, to quote Metallica, "nothing else matters "!

I agree with you 100%. Your belief is between you and who you believe in or what you believe in. Thanks for posting
