One in a long line of pagan rituals co-opted by Christians to make the peons of whatever occupied lands nominally change religions for record-keeping purposes. Which is why everyone should celebrate Samhain instead. Bonfires, buffets, and orgies sound a lot more exciting than running round in some dumb get up begging for candy.
Excellent; it only took a few pages for yet another thread to start
[the absolutely acceptable practice of] Christian-bashing.

You know there is a certain age where if you continue to trick-or-treat it starts looking *creepy*.
God forbid folk's get dressed up all in good fun. I don't care what costume a person/kid is dressed up in-IT'S HALLOWEEN not the Presidential elections. If you think about it, just about any costume out there is going to cause a stir with somebody. It's just another excuse for those crying racism to emphasize differences in humans.

See? Anything can be interpreted as offensive by somebody. Trick is to get that "somebody" to shut their mouths and let it be. They need to ask themselves....."Is that guy wearing the giant condom costume HURTING me?" "Or is it just offensive to me?" If it's just offensive then join the billions of people who are offended by something much more serious than a giant condom. This is "entitlement generation" at it's best.
FYI-that little kid in the Hitler costume DID NOT, I REPEAT, DID NOT "HURT" me, therefore, even if it's offensive I won't criticize it, the parents or the manufacturer of the costume.
