"Each year, the Great Pumpkin rises out of the pumpkin patch that he thinks is the most sincere. He's gotta pick this one. He's got to. I don't see how a pumpkin patch can be more sincere than this one. You can look around and there's not a sign of hypocrisy.
Nothing but sincerity as far as the eye can see" --Linus Van Pelt, It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown (1966)

'' If you don't give us what we want we will make you pay.''
England should be use to this principle. Its how their government works.
...and how does wearing this costume make you satanic? satan does not look like this..its a secular representation of the devil. Whilte christians would probably not wear such a costume, wearing one does not make anyone satanic and if seeing a costume makes you falter in your walk, your faith needs a workout.
How can christmas or halloween or easter be pagan to a christian? I never worshipped satan on any of these holidays, even before I was saved. This is more christian propaganda than it is actual truth. Just some fear mongering christians seeking to control other christians with false claims.

Problem is when anyone outside of America criticises Halloween, many Americians see that as anti-American propaganda and a direct attack on America. Americans who express these sentiments are branded traitors.
I have had not anyone knock on my door for past 3 years, some kids do go around the neighbourhood, but they often just go to people they know and not every house and are accompanied by adults. past couple of years I saw no body dressed up walking around the streets.
However my church does supply gift bags with leaflets and booklets aka tracts, about Jesus etc, simply add sweets to it and theres an evangelising opportunity.

Nobody said that
It's celebration of death and violence, and things God hates.
Lady who took this picture said her family has to pass by this everyday. She has small children.
Here's another photo from her. I know her.
I live in a town of 2000 people. This month we've had a beating homicide of a woman and a bizarre triple burglary, one of which was a disabled, wheelchair bound man whom the thief pushed over. We have one of the top 13 haunted houses in the nation here according to (America's Best Haunted Houses - AmericasBestHaunts.com) I live approximately 2 miles away and I can hear the screaming from that place.

“For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of love, and of power, and of a sound mind.” —2 Timothy 1:7
Romans 12:2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is--his good, pleasing and perfect will.

There is a problem in the UK regarding vandalism on Halloween. When this foreign practice first reared its head here it was only young children, often accompanied with their parents who came trick or treating. It wasnt long before Yobs saw it as an excuse to create trouble. I do think though this is a reflection on the state of society as a whole. Halloween is just one more excuse to make life miserable for others. At least its only for one night a year
