Besides, candy rots the kid's teeth, makes them fat, & eating too much of it may contribute to diabetes. Giving kids candy is child abuse

@Remiforce Yes, keep it all for yourself I say.

Why are we celebrating a pagan holiday that was appropriated by the Xians? I thought agnostics & athiests were against ignorance & superstition. Why participate in a pagan ritual?

@Remiforce Halloween is fun. So is Christmas. Most of the things that make them fun have little to do with their religious roots, however.

But shouldn't we remember the dead in a less ghoulish way---celebrate their life & not fetishize the horror of their death?

@Remiforce You’d think?!? But “death” seems to make people a lot more weird. I’m not a fan of funerals and death in general. I respect it but prefer to keep my distance. I can see how this holiday got it’s beginning though. Christmas? Not so much...
