halloween

i wanted to write something about it, cause i remembered learning something bad about its connotations about last year, but it'll take too long, and i have a midterm to look after, so this is more like a self-reminder.

i will say this though for now; it is tied to roman catholic roots, and the most primative form of halloween involved voluntary human sacrifice or losing a child(the trick or treat), similar to baal worship during biblical times.

this is sorta one of the reasons why roman catholicism should be frowned upon.

it did not resurface in the infant usa because the pilgrims banned it, knowing its devilish roots; however, once the potato famine occurred in ireland, flocking roman catholic irishmen brought the tradition of halloween into the usa.
