Of course parents should allow their kids to participate in Halloween. The fact that this is even up for debate makes Christians look ridiculous. Celebrating Halloween is fun and games for kids and not a celebration of Satan as many misguided Christian believe.
Moreover, there are so many issues that [we] Christians actually ought to be focusing our attention on. Our culture is literally losing its moral compass, and most Christians just sit around and complaining about it rather than actually taking real action (e.g., getting politically involved). The other side is winning the war for the hearts and minds of our children and trivial matters like Halloween and Harry Potter occupy our time and energy!!
Focusing on Halloween demonstrates and true lack of depth, and what I believe to be an outmoded superstitious tendency that remains in the Christian community. Again, I urge the Christian community to focus on greater threats and allow your children to have some fun.
