Halloween is an ancient holiday dating back to pre-Christian Europe. When Christianity came to Europe, the Christian church did everything it could to erase the native religions of the area. One of the tactics used was to villify the religious practices already in place. The Christian church did many things to convince people that these religious practices were derived from the devil. Dispite those efforts, many of these ancient practices continue today in some form or another. Other religious practices and customs were incorporated into Christian religion, such as the Christmas tree. Unfortunately, some hard-line Christians feel they still need to fight against and discredit these remnants of pre-Christian Europe. In any case, I do not believe anyone has the right to tell a child they are going to hell for any reason. It is mean, abusive and completly uncalled for to tell a child this.
