Witches take pride in laughing at the ignorance of natural men (those who ignore the spirit realm). Decorating buildings with Halloween scenes, dressing up for parties, going door-to-door for candy, standing around bonfires and highlighting pumpkin patches are all acts rooted in entertaining familiar spirits. All these activities are demonic and have occult roots.<< Oh so much more at the link: <a href="http://www.cbn.com/spirituallife/onlinediscipleship/halloween/halloween_danger_daniels.aspx" target="_blank">http://www.cbn.com/spiritualli...els.aspx</a>

Samhain is considered by some Wiccans as a time to celebrate the lives of those who have passed on, and it often involves paying respect to ancestors, family members, elders of the faith, friends, pets and other loved ones who have died. In some rituals the spirits of the departed are invited to attend the festivities. It is seen as a festival of darkness, which is balanced at the opposite point of the wheel by the spring festival of Beltane, which Wiccans celebrate as a festival of light and fertility." The nutbars from the OP certainly missed the point entirely of what Samheim (pronounced SOW-in) is about. I'm guessing they also believe gay marriage is a sure ticket to bestiality, and Obama sacrifices animals during the full moon in the WH bowling alley.

Originally Posted By davewasbaloo I have been fortunate to attend 2 Samheim festivals here in Europe, and they are awesome. Most wicca I know are fabulous, charitable people.

It is ironic that more pagans act in a way in tune with Jesus's teaching, than the millions of hypocritical christians around the globe. I am fed up of the persecution of paganism, as a religion, there are a lot of good things about it. But all that aside, Halloween is great fun. It is interesting, I wonder what would seem stranger and more dark to someone who knows nothing about religion - a group of people who go on a nature walk and then spend time around the fire remeniscing, or a bunch of people dressing up in different clothes, going into a specifically built structure and staring up at a bleeding guy on a cross, while someone in robes barks at the audience????
