Halloween is the devils holiday
EXCERPT:
So, in the Christian community, there are two viewpoints on the observance of Halloween. One side celebrates it as the early church intended: Part of a celebration of saints, dead and living. They turn the negative association of death and evil into a positive of eternal life and good. Then there’s the side that sees Halloween for its pagan roots, with its preoccupation with death, evil, occult symbols and witchcraft – things the faithful should have no part of.

As a holiday, Halloween has blended and meshed with many beliefs and customs of different European and Native American ethnic groups until the spiritual – good and otherwise – significance is lost. Commercialization of the holiday has further reduced it to a night to dress up in costumes and solicit candy from neighbors. But many of the faithful recall the origins and/or reason for Halloween, celebrate or denounce it accordingly. Whether one sees it as a celebration of saints, dead and living, or an abomination depends largely on point of view and personal convictions.
