I know that many people have different opinions on Halloween, and alot of people think that Halloween is when the devil and demons come to walk around with us. But I'm pretty sure that's just a bunch of hooblah. That's right, HOOBLAH!
My opinion on the whole thing is a mix of both sources, I do like dressing up in funny outfits and getting candy, but I don't think that Halloween is about praising the devil or worshiping demons.
It was shown that the Celtic pagans in Ireland and Scotland celebrated the day of the dead to honor spirits of their ancestors that had passed on. They even did the jack-o-lantern thing except with a turnip! Kind a weird if you ask me. The pagans believed that evil spirits were especially active on October 31st. Thats probably where our preachers and pastors get this idea.
