Quote# 870
The big problem I have with Halloween isn't its roots (which can be traced all the way back to the Druid Festival of the Dead, circa 100 AD). The problem I have is that it makes light of things evil. Many people don't stop to think, or even realize (or want to realize) that there are such things as evil spirits and demonic forces. Halloween, in my opinion, is one of these events that, over a period of time, desensitizes people (especially children!) and makes them think that the devil is really just a little kid in a red suit, not an actual being. To a Christian, Halloween is a stupid display. To others, it can end up being spiritual desensitization. Exactly what Satan wants, eh??
