Halloween Hot Take: It's not evil!

I'm from Missouri and used to be a practicing Baptist. Not regular Baptist, the type that thinks dancing is of the devil and that if you have something bad happen to you it's because you sinned. So my Halloween hot take is that it isn't evil and it's fine to dress up. It actually played a major part of me realizing maybe the Baptist church wasn't the best fit for me.

This Halloween I'm celebrating all types of ghouls and goblins.

I could go on and on about this lol, Halloween is a huge chunk of my personality and I still believe in God. Halloween is not an evil holiday

Such a refreshing point! The real spirit of Halloween is joy, imagination, and a little mischief nothing dark about that.
