For starters, I love seeing people dressed up in sexy, creative, and\/or offensive costumes. That is part of the reason why I started the Halloween Forever Project<\/a>. I haven\u2019t really kept up with the project very well, but this year I would really like to get more photos posted on there. So if you are dressing up for Halloween, please take a few minutes to take part in my little project. It will be fun. If you go to a party with lots of atheists, bring a print out of one or more of the logos an pass it around.<\/p>\n I also love that Halloween is all about the free candy. What\u2019s not to like about that? But more then that, it is also about going around to your neighbors and saying hello. I have lived at my current residence for almost four years now and I barely know my neighbors at all. I am looking forward to taking my son trick-or-treating and getting to say hello to people and in some cases, meeting them for the first time.<\/p>\n Also, fundamentalists hate Halloween. I love that about this holiday. I remember I once had a co-worker who told me that he didn\u2019t allow his kids to go trick-or-treating because Halloween was the \u201cDevil\u2019s Holiday.\u201d His house was probably the only one on the block with the lights out. And when his sons hit puberty and start to notice the girls in sexy Halloween costumes, I bet they start questioning that whole \u201cDevil\u2019s Holiday\u201d thing.<\/p>\n One year, I seriously considered dressing up as a fundamentalist Christian. I think that would be fun going around to real fundamentalist Christians and showing them how annoying they are. Sort of like roleplaying therapy.<\/p>\n Have you ever dressed up in a costume which encouraged discussion? Have you ever dressed up in a controversial costume for Halloween? Share your stories (and photos if you got them). And don\u2019t forget to take part in the Halloween Forever Project<\/a>.
