Hallowe'en is a Satanist festival and it is both ungodly and dangeorus to mark it. A good part of Pastor K's sermon this morning was spent warning the kids about the bad things that might happen to them if they go trick-or-treating on Friday night.

They might get cavities and/or tummy aches from eating too much candy on Saturday?
Halloween is not of your satin(fundie speak). Look it up and try to read books or websites that are NOT fundie oriented.
Day of All Hallows = November 1; A day to honor saints and other Godly people who are dead. Christian holiday. Also known as All Hallowmas.
Eve of All Hallows = October 31; The day before the DoAH.
All Hallows' Eve = Another way of saying "Eve of All Hallows."
Halloween = An abbreviation for "All Hallows' Eve" or "Hallowmas Eve."
Now what was that about devil worship?
The L
All true, but recent as Halloween goes way back before Christianity in the British Isles, Norway and germany
Today it's about dress up and candy. Then more of an Autumn celebration of death and darkness to come
To be fair to them, it IS more than just eating sweets. It's the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain (pronounced Sow-en) which was the pre-Christian Celtic new year. They believed that the veil between this world and the other world was very thin on that day, and ghosts and ghoulies could come into our world then.
However, it has nothing to do with that Judeo-Christian invention, Satan. So, no, it's not satanic.
And this very night Fred, they are coming for YOU!
Christmas and Easter are pagan in their origins too.
Yes, Halloween was originally a Druid festival, so it's based on a pagan holiday, so it must automatically be of TEH DEBBIL!! *sigh*
Yes, it was originally a pagan holiday, and is now a Neo-Pagan holiday, but pagan =/= Satanism *headdesk*
For generations, the only bad thing was, if any, stomachache and now, suddenly, because a stupid anonymous pastor says so, God has to make a show. What a fruitcake.
All Hallow's Eve, the day before All Saints' Day.
Somehow it got mixed up in Germanic IIRC local custom and tradition, and the resulting holiday is exported to other countries as a result.
EDIT: Nope it is Celtic traditions.
Awwww, is someone afwaid of kids having some fun instead of gwoveling at the feet of gawd?
OOGA-BOOGA! There, I've scared you away, now stay in your house and don't come out.
Confused?
