I'm a Christian. There's actually branches in the Christian religion. I'm a baptist and baptists think celebrating Halloween means celebrating the devil.

You don't really celebrate anything on Halloween. You just dress up as monsters or fictional characters and such to scare people. And you trick or treat.

did some research (actually just the wikipedia article but ok)
nobody knows where baptist church developed from but the most common theory is that it developed from the same schism that created the puritans |

I can go to Halloween parties, but I can't dress up or go trick or treating.

I looked on some Wikipedia article and it said that baptists despise Halloween because of paganism and such.

Really? I'm a Baptist; we don't find it Devil worshipping. It's just popular culture, from where I'm standing. |

@Noah
There are different branches of Christianity. They all have the main idea--we are awaiting for the messiah, Jesus to return. However, these smaller branches have slightly different beliefs.
Ex: I am Catholic. I believe that we should follow the Pope's every orders. Other people, however, don't. |
