I don't know how to break this to you, but lots of Christian holidays in the year have their roots in pagan practices.
Christmas (the tree)
Easter (the eggs are a pagan fertility rite)
There are seveal others, but I don't feel like going into it all. I do fail to see how dressing in a crazy costume, then going trick-or-treating for candy can be a form of "devil worship".
Interesting coincidence: Salem (the place of the notorious witch trials) is now the Halloween captiol of the world! The PD patch even has a witch on it from what I've heard!
Strangely enough, those who hand out pamphlets on Halloween (you know...the ones that tell you to repent...stop trick-or-treating...anything fun..etc.), seem to be the most unhappy people I know of (and abuse tends to run rampant in their homes).
