Is Halloween the devil's birthday?

I never would have imagined that some of the kids at my church would think that Halloween is the devil's birthday. They go to a church where the sermons taught are not topical in anyway, but verse by verse, chapter by chapter Bible studies. The reason they think this is because of screwed up beliefs that their parents have from their parents' screwed up upbringings.
Halloween is NOT the devil's birthday. Satan, also called the Devil, was a created being. He was not born, like we are. He was made by God as all other angels are made. There is no human time or day that we celebrate his creation, and thinking so is just...silly. Halloween was originally a Gaelic festival celebrating the end of summer. They believed that since that night was the end of summer and the beginning of winter, the spirit world and the physical world no longer had anything separating them from each other. They dressed up in frightening costumes so that they would look like a harmful spirit and therefore avoid harm.
This is a pagan belief, yes, but after being mixed with Catholicism, Christianity, and other various myths and legends, it's turned into nothing but a night for kids to dress up in costumes and get free candy, for teenagers to sit at home and scare themselves witless in front of horror movies, and for adults to have rather questionable Halloween parties. It's not the devil's birthday. That's just silly.

I'm going home soon.

I don't know when the Rapture will happen, or how soon or how far off it is from today. I just know that I'm going home very soon. It's never been this close. Ever.

Interesting article if you're into that kind of thing.

Do something good for someone today. You don't know how long you have left here.

Defacing the Bible

I don't know if any of you have heard about this, but there was a museum exhibit in Glasgow that had a Bible people could write their names and such in. And of course, people abused and defaced the Bible. Which is ridiculous. I don't go to gay pride parades and shout "God hates fags!" because not only is that wrong and totally non-Christian, but it's rude! What gives them the right to abuse and deface a major part of my religion?
