A Date With The Devil

"The devil made me do it" was the famous line the comedian, Flip Wilson, used when joking about the devil. But the truth is, the devil is no joke. He is not only real but he also hates God as well as everything and everyone that God made---including you and me! The world has given the one who causes the misery and suffering in the world has been given a special holiday. Millions of dollars are spent for a special holiday once a year dedicated to the Devil.

In the name of clean fun for both youngsters and grown-ups, Trick or Treat, has become an annual tradition, just like the equally devil-inspired modern-day celebration of Christmas, Easter, and other so-called "Christian" holidays. But the truth is: Trick or Treat is the devil's seemingly harmless introductory lesson in extortion and other criminal acts for children. The beginning lesson on how to demand something which one never properly earned or owned. Robbery, rape, kidnapping, and other crimes are the adult realities of Trick or Treat; a criminal demands or takes something ---a favor or a"treat"---which he/she never truly deserves. It is just like the Devil himself, who has claimed the world and God's creation which he does not own. In one of the temptations in the wilderness, Satan tried to play Trick or Treat with Christ by offering the Creator the world, if He would kneel down and pay homage to Satan, the usurper. What a truly dumb trick !

And think of the costumes which the children wear to go trick or treating. The most popular get-ups are: ghosts, witches, vampires complete with fake fangs, skeletons, monsters, undesirable characters--like pirates, extra-terrestrial figures--like fairies, make-believe fairytale or cartoon characters.

And then there are the decorations which depict evil and the macabre---tombstones, witches' cauldrons, black cats, bats associated with horror, abandoned haunted houses, pumpkins carved to look grotesque, sinister and evil.

But the worst insult to all sensibility is when so-called "Christian" churches think nothing of holding parties in the church social hall to glorify the Devil with the innocent little ones and even pets [cats and dogs] dressed up as evil-appearing characters and the supposed "house of the Lord" made to look like "the Devil's den" or a haunted house decorated with spider webs and colors associated with funeral and death, and music, food, and entertainment to depict evil.

That is how deluded many have become in the name of "clean and harmless fun" when in reality, it is plain and simple glorification and celebration of evil. Halloween in reality is indeed nothing more than a special date with Satan.
