All The World's A Stage

"Hey neighbor, good to see you, thanks for your sacrifice of candy to the Dark Lord."

This falls under the 'crazies' category.

No Celebrating the Devil on a Sunday! It pisses off God.

Move it to a Saturday, and I'm sure he won't mind at all.

Across the Bible Belt this Halloween, some little ghosts and goblins might get shooed away by the neighbors -- and some youngsters will not be allowed to go trick-or-treating at all -- because the holiday falls on a Sunday this year.

"It's a day for the good Lord, not for the devil," said Barbara Braswell, who plans to send her 4-year-old granddaughter Maliyah out trick-or-treating in a princess costume on Saturday instead.

This takes us again back to having to remember that these people actually believe in magic. These are the folks who think Harry Potter is teaching the kidlings witchcraft. You can only believe that Harry Potter teaches witchcraft or that little kids dressing up and asking for candy is devil worship if you believe in that stuff.

Now, I believe there are people worshipping the devil. I believe there are people worshipping the almighty dollar. I believe there are people worshipping sex. Some people worship food. Whatever.

I don't believe devil worshippers are out trick-or-treating. If it's really a holy satan night, they're probably somewhere chanting and doing something devil-worshipping-like. They are likely not yelling to their little devil worshipping kids, "say thank you!" "Did you say thank you?"

Fiona says:

"God made this holiday so kids can get a year supply of candy."
