We don't celebrate it because it is a pagan tradition and we don't think it would honour God to celebrate something pagan. *shrugs* I don't think there are all that many human sacrifices going on but ya never know!

Satan's night could be any night. It is what you make it. This Holiday was around for a long time before, like many others, it was perverted by whomever. I am a Christian and for me it is a night that my kids get loads of candy and get to play dress up. I have not heard of any babies being sacrificed, or any demons running rampant because its Halloween. Halloween is no more significant than Thanksgiving. If you want to talk about sinful, then you should remember gluttony is a sin as well. Lighten up, you will be a much happier person.

Boy are you off your rocker. Put the crack pipe away.
Halloween is not for your devil. It never has been. Halloween is the name Christians gave the ancient pagan celebration Samhain, which, again, had nothing to do with your little boogeyman (who, by the way, is only a twisted delusion).
Christians thought they ruined Samhain in early times. They still think it. We Witches and Pagans (and we are NOT devil-worshippers) still have our holiday, and we still celebrate it.
You Christians do actually ruin it for some of the non-pagan people. Every year, people have to hear a bunch of retarded fundies whining "devil this, satan that" and all the little kiddies want to do is have a good time by dressing up and going trick or treat. You fundie christians should be ashamed of yourselves. It takes a pretty bad person to try to take away an innocent good time from little kids, even whole communities.
Quit being so ignorant.

The dangers of Halloween??
What dangers?
You claim that people are killed on 'satans night' (and babies too - so apparently you don't consider babies to be people).
Do you have any actual statistics or cases to corroborate this little factoid, or are you just repeating something your preacher told you?
A quick search shows that back in 2004 a woman in New Brunswick was hospitalized for smoke inhalation when a fire, believed to have been set as a Halloween prank got out of control.
Another study in Chicago found that crime rates were higher around the Family Weekend than around Halloween.
There's no danger in Halloween, other than a possible increased chance of diabetes.

Not very many Christians actually believe this hype, I just want to make that clear.
But for those that do, isn't letting kids dress up and have parties and eat candy a heck of a kick in ol' Satan's behind? LOL! I'm sure he HATES it!
If you are going to post stories about people being killed (even babies) on Halloween, you really ought to post a source. There is no evidence to support your claim.
Trick or Treat!!

Jesus told us to witness to all people in all nations...I kinda relate Halloween to that. It may be "satanic" as you say...but we are still called to witness on that day in some manner; if handing out candy and tracts, or dressing up as biblical people is how we do it...then good! At least someone has the guts to stand up for Christ on Halloween!
I absolutely hate when people complain about Halloween...it's not that big of a deal! It's just like every other day. Satan is always active...what makes Halloween so different? He's just as active on Halloween as he is every other day of the year!

Babies and people die everynight. So does that make every night satans night? I dont think dressing up like fictional monsters and going around having fun and getting candy is not a bad thing. But i do think that people have ruined a very good holliday over some stupid ideals they have.

All holidays today were once pagan holidays/rituals - even Christmas and Easter! Deal with it!
And wiccans don't believe in the Devil - sorry to disappoint you!

LOL! If only you put as much effort into making the world a better place instead of paying homage to silly superstitions...

So wait a second...Hershey bars and Snickers are tools of ... SATAN?!?!
Please give proof of said dead babies and dead people. I mean like a CNN report, a NYT report, I'd even be willing to accept a Faux News. I hope you are just a troll and don't actually believe this.
