Amazing. The church has even adopted the holiday to fit a spiritual event. In the Lutheran church, I can even remember having a seperate "All Hallows Eve" and "All Saints Day" service. Catholics do it to. We celebrate the dead. Go figure that some uneducated extremists go and fuck it up for the rest of it. Can't they just choose not to participate??? It just pisses me off. Just because a couple of kids will be left out, we shouldn't have halloween??? That's just like saying that we shouldn't drive cars to Amish country because they don't drive them.
