Anyway Halloween, today's halloween came from all souls day... souling and guising, masquerading as ghosts... poor accepting gifts to pray for the souls of dead relatives of the rich. This was church sponsored, there is no 'holiday' for satan or witchcraft. Trick or treating started and was pushed hard by the candy producers in the mid 1900s.

Metaphors are symbols. That is why they are metaphors. The spiritual is all about symbols. This is very, very clear if you spend any time studying any/all religions. Symbols are used to communicate extensively. Halloween is not wrong because of the day or the second. Halloween is wrong because of what it signifies. satan comminicates in symbols. The occult communicates in symbols. He is all about profaning the simple things in life.

Dig deeper all souls day is a pagan knockoff involving the occult. It was added to satisfy the pagans. I gave the link above. It is easy to find. Goodfight ministries is a good start.
