Something must have happened toward the end of the 70s to make the Baptists go PC or something. They are "all" against celebrating Halloween or something.

It is the Halloween which is evolving.

At first it was a pagan holiday of Samhain and it was not so good.

Then the Church established the holiday devoted to All Saints ( Halloween - All Hallows) and in Western Europe (where Samhain was popular) it helped to keep people away from pagan and magic practices. This was very good.

Then the pagan elements from Samhain started to seep into the Christian Halloween, and this was getting worse.

Than in the last decades, satanists, militant homosexuals and other corrupt movements started to make Halloween their holiday. This is very bad. I guess it is the time when many Christians in America started to see the problem.

LOL. Your evidence for this is where? I know when I think of Halloween I think of militant homosexuals. Cause it's their big day and all. LOL

Really. I haven't seen any of those coming to my door trick or treating. It's mostly small children in costume, with their parents standing at the end of the walk.

Oh, there are a few middle-school kids, too, trying to look cool. I give them candy too.

Haven't seen any satanists, militant homosexuals, or any "corrupt movements" around Halloween. I guess they're having private parties, eh?
