Halloween
Unfortunately, society has being customary celebrating the Pagan festival of Halloween, which is observed on the evening of October 31 in most North American and in some areas of Western Europe. The holiday is symbolically associated with death and the supernatural, and is originally a pagan festival of the dead. It is historically related to similar folk holidays celebrated in other countries, for example, The Day of the Dead, a Mexican holiday that coincides with All Souls' Day which blends Roman Catholic and Native American traditions about the souls of the dead.
The celebrating of this pagan holiday should be eliminated in society, it is dangerous to celebrate and encourage young nave individuals to take part in this Un-Godly, Satanic event. Satan uses many ploys to try and deceive as much people as possible therefore; he uses the same trick in different ways. By allowing pagan ritual and worship to continue, the society is wrongly identifying sacrificial death in a positive manner.
Most people, even Christian believers, defend Halloween as only "A little innocent fun for the kids". It may be innocent, but is it fun to unknowingly mimic devil worship, female sacrifice, and witchcraft? Once society allows paganism into its midst, then how much harder is it for Satan to get us involved in real druidism? The question one must ask his or her self is: Do I want to play Satan's game?..
