From the article:
Would God be against something as harmless as Halloween, especially since it allows children to have fun and enjoy a little entertainment? Can't we let them have a little harmless fun?
Frankly, Halloween is anything but harmless. It focuses one's attention on witchcraft and demonism, which flies in the face of the holy God Almighty! When parents not only allow but also encourage their children to celebrate witches and goblins, they are teaching them that it's acceptable to deal in demonism.
And we have seen what God thinks of that. God is a God of light and truth (1 John 1:5). Satan, "the god of this age" (2 Corinthians 4:4), is a very real being—a being of darkness, deception and death (Revelation 12:9; John 8:44). We are to have nothing to do with his ways. (To learn more, request our free booklet Is There Really a Devil?)
Do not assume that Halloween is a harmless holiday. God hates mankind's dabbling in the spirit world of Satan and his demons!
Halloween doesn't "celebrate" witches, demons, evil, death, or Satan. It makes fun of them. One night a year. Only 1/365th as important as the author of the article is making it seem, for starters.
Jack-o-lanterns aren't demon faces, either. They are a celebration of God's abundant harvest. We have so many pumpkins, we can take 1000s of them, cut them up and put lights in them to celebrate the harvest. No more tiny turnips with coals in them, like our ancestors had to settle for. And what is that Light does to Darkness?
Those who celebrate Los Dias de los Muertos also understand the concept of honoring those who have gone before us. It is a festival making fun of death, as just one stopping-off point on the journey to eternal life.
In order to believe that Halloween is all the things the article states, one would have to believe only in the crucifixion, but not in the resurrection. No thanks.
It doesn't focus their attention on demonic things. They just dress up for one night, for crying out loud.
I am against REAL dabblings in the occult.
Ouji Board, tarot cards etc...are not okay in my book.
That is demonic.
But dressing up on Halloween like a vampire or ghost?
Give me a break. It is just kids having fun.

Ain't that the truth? Look how p!$$3d off he got when Adam and Eve gained the knowledge of good and evil.
