nothing personal intended --
i'm merely attempting to "think this thru in writing", to sincerely find an answer to your question... if it were me (its not "me), i'd ask myself if i worship the devil now. i don't; i don't believe in two, spiritual forces. but regardless of anything, that's besides the point. if i dress like a devil character, it doesn't mean that i am worshiping (honoring) one. nor does it mean that i become the literal meaning of the costume. in the same way: if i dress like an ancient Greek goddess, i am not worshiping her --- especially because: hey, i really don't know the ancient, Greek religion that well; the costume itself, has not changed my spirituality nor the rest of my original "self" in any way. when my girlfriend's son was a boy, he loved an evil-looking, gargoyle night-light. he was afraid of the dark otherwise -- but neither my girlfriend or her boy thought twice about any belief-in gargoyles or worship of them. (at one time in history, gargoyles were widely considered real protection against evil & mishap.) we know how kids express & seem to want the most-outlandish things; the boy's night-light looked like a demon or something; but rather than worship, it was all in fun. ...just like a Halloween character. or if a guy dresses like Santa Clause,to become a favorite of children at the mall's department store around the Holidaze... he isn't worshiping Santa -nor believing in him or Mrs. Clause. the guy very likely: loves the kids' excitement; needs the job; and enjoys this one (or he wouldn't have considered applying for it). i always took my little boy to see Santa. and when my boy dressed-up for Halloween (usually a skeleton or devil) -- real belief and/or worship never occured to us. for one thing, neither he nor i would've understood anything about "worshiping" the nature of his one-night disguise. for last Halloween, i dressed in authentic costume as Egyptian Pharaoh-Queen, Hatsepshet -- but tho i admire Ancient Egyptian culture, worship had nothing to do with it. i never became "Hatsepshet" or worshiped her; and life went back as it had been beforehand. regardless of how Halloween originated, it's still thought-of as entertaining for most in today's culture. people usually have fun with it. of course there are those who don't for whatever reasons, including because of religious beliefs/fears. if a person somehow feels disturbed about dressing-up in a costume of a black angel (ie, devil?) for Halloween... if they feel their God will punish them for some reason... then by all means, these folks are the ones to re-think their participation in Halloween (and perhaps other Holidaze too.) sincere thanks for considering my personal thoughts/opinions. hopefully i have been able to help you -- in some way -- with your question. best wishes, Friend! ![]() |
