SAY NO TO HALLOWEEN

As a responsible adult, what do you think of Hallowe’en? Is it just scare-mongering to oppose Hallowe’en, or is there really a danger in it?

The problem is that Hallowe’en itself is a ‘scaremongerer’! It concentrates on making fun out of fear, enjoyment from being scared. So what’s wrong with that? It’s just the same buzz we get as when we have a ride on a rollercoaster, you might say. But fairground rides are designed to be safe - the danger is just an illusion, it’s not really there.

It’s different with Hallowe’en. Hallowe’en is a celebration of evil, and Evil really exists. It is not an illusion. And even worse, Hallowe’en has become a celebration for impressionable kids, often at an age when they find difficulty in discerning fact from fantasy.

AREN’T WE JUST BEING OVERPROTECTIVE?‘

I mean, sooner or later kids have got to face up to the fact that there is evil in the world, haven’t they?’ Another statement we often hear, but it’s misleading. Kids will have enough trouble facing the real dangers of life, and have enough of them to  develop their characters, without further fears - fantasy or real - being added. And another problem - not all ‘fantasies’ surrounding Hallowe’en are fantasies - some are symbolic of real evil.

Ghosts may not go ‘whooo!’ and float around in white sheets, but there are supernatural disturbances which can cause real fear. Witches may not go around in black hats and capes any more, but they do exist, in increasing numbers. Much of the
symbolism in Hallowe’en is based on real paganism, satanism and other occult activities.

However much some people may choose to make fun of those who believe in demonic activity; the truth is that there are cases of spiritual oppression which psychologists cannot properly explain or treat. Only God is able to set the people  concerned free.

WHAT ARE THE EFFECTS?

Most kids will not be affected badly by Hallowe’en; most will be able to laugh it off. But what about those who hide deep-seated fears and anxieties?

Apart from the distress for the child at the time, these fears can have harmful psychological effects that can stay with us into adulthood. Also, some children will develop an unhealthy interest in the occult, often exacerbated by horror videos, and then we wonder why some do horrible things. Of course movie-makers refuse to believe that occult films have any effect on children’s behaviour, but if that is true why are there copycat crimes—where something seen in a video or film is mimicked? After all, advertisers wouldn’t bother spending thousands on TV adverts if they didn’t think they had any effect!

The Best for our kids - The Alternative

At the end of the day, we all want the best for our kids. Things that are good, not evil. Christians believe that God also wants the best for us—he is not a killjoy. When, in the Bible, he forbids involvement in something it is because it is harmful. Occult activities are condemned by God and today that includes Hallowe’en. The Bible is clear about this.

Instead of occult activity, God offers us Spiritual power for good. Through Jesus Christ, God’s Holy Spirit can enter our lives and help us to make a difference in this world. He can show us what is really right from wrong, and help us to guide our children away from harm and into freedom and security.
