extract from one of the many documented cases where an ex-Satanist is being interviewed, and is asked about the significance of Halloween.

QUESTION: "How was it celebrated?"

ANSWER: "Always with a blood sacrifice. Some of the lesser covens would use animals, but the Brotherhood always used a human. In fact, it was a three-day affair. On October 29th an animal was sacrificed. On the 3Oth, an animal and a human of lesser purity were killed and on the 3lst the slow, tortured death of the most pure human available, preferably a virgin, was the center of the frenzied ritual. Usually it is a baby born for this purpose by a mother in the craft called a "breeder."

QUESTION: "Most Christians see Halloween as just another party time. What connection is there between such rituals and trick-or-treating?"

ANSWER: "For one thing, the symbolism of witches, goblins, etc. glorify Satan. Christians have no business being involved in this. Secondly, the increase in injuries from sabotaged treats is not accidental. Satanists are using it to increase the blood sacrifices on this "special day." Satan is so mad at God that he will not overlook any opportunity to bring destruction to God's creatures. The more he can kill the better he likes it." (Excerpt Battle Cry Magazine 1989)

You might have noticed that the ex-Satanist also talks about "sabotaged treats". This is another sinister aspect of Halloween that is unfortunately becoming more prevalent. Satanists and their bedfellows insert razor blades into sweets and fruit, which they then give out to unsuspecting youngsters! Another new adaptation of this sick ploy is to spike treats with hallucinogenic drugs! Anything that will cause pain and suffering, and thus glorify their evil master, is fair game to these lost souls.

Of course, the argument can be made that Satanism is in fact an "alternative religion", and as such is no better or worse than any other religion such as Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, etc. and that they have the perfect right to celebrate Halloween or any other festival in the same way as Christians venerate Easter and Christmas. Even if you happen to agree with that statement (and I personally don't) it doesn't excuse the fact that Halloween, a blatantly and openly pagan and Satanic festival, is being celebrated all over the world by people who profess the Christian faith, and who by doing so are putting their immortal souls in danger of eternal damnation! *ALL* the symbols of Halloween, including the donning of costumes
