Three Approaches to Halloween: Rejecting
Some individuals strongly reject celebrating Halloween due to its pagan roots and association with darkness and evil spirits. They believe that dressing up, participating in trick-or-treating, and engaging in Halloween traditions contradict Christian principles and go against God's commands. Rejecters emphasize the importance of avoiding evil and creating a clear distinction between light and darkness.
