\u201cHalloween is a Satanic holiday\u201d is the most ridiculous, absolute lamest excuse that stingy people have ever come up with as an excuse to not give candy to those who ask for it.<\/p>\n

Christians, of course, will not\u00a0use this excuse, since they know that Jesus himself said \u201cGive to everyone who asks of you\u201d (Luke 6:30<\/a>) and that \u201cwhatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me\u201d (Matthew 25:40<\/a>).<\/p>\n

And so Christians will recognize that it is in fact Jesus knocking at their door \u2013 even if he is\u00a0wearing a Devil costume.<\/p>\n
