Do you celebrate Halloween? What do you like most and least about this holiday?

Halloween? No no, today is Reformation Day...I think Catholics celebrate All Saints tomorrow. What is this Halloween you speak of?

you know, it's one of the holidays Christians stole from the Pagans before they killed them? Like christmas and easter?

But most of those Christians had been converted from the European polytheistic religions, so your interpretation kind of falls down.

Got your knickers in a twist, have I?

1. there are tons of Catholics out for your blood because you called them pagans
2. there are tons of pagans out for your blood because you likened them to Catholics
3. you know, 99% converted, really, that's when they brought their festivals, and often their temples with them
4. pagans should sue christians over the copyright
5. did you even bother to wiki Reformation Day?
6. if you knew me at all, or even had just checked my user info, you'd know I'm German. This would have clued you in to my take on Halloween - and that I am mocking all these people who are out there, costumed and being themselves, celebrating the foolishness of ignorance
