Wow. Celebrating satan. How stupid to celebrate devilry and satanism.
Don't tell me, let me guess - Underwood's Deviled Ham spread is banned from your home. Amirite?
Clearly you don't understand what Halloween is. And even if it was, what's wrong with Satanism? We have quite a few holidays for Christians, why not one for Satanists? Sheesh.
Yeah timothy, let us know where you live, so we can EGG your house.
Satanism, give me a freaking BREAK okay, we know halloween is propaganda for more marketing venture, so what!!!! its not about the devil, so give your bible thumping a break okay, shove it where the sun doesnt shine.
If you think YOUR so called god didnt want the devil, he should have gotten rid of him to begin with, since he is the creator of all living things.
All the BS about he wanted two sides for everything, hahaha thats an excuse. so byte me.
HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE!!!
Lighten up idiot, you're the kind of whacko that gives the other 99% of us normal Christians a bad name. Halloween is a harmless fun day for kids, get over yourself.
You all sound like fools, exactly what satan wants you to believe, that practicing satanism is harmless.
Timothy1Mil,
If there is a Hell no doubt it will be filled with those who went through life feigning righteous indignation and distain! Tim... being a big BORE though not a great sin is certainly a very, very, very tiny abomination in the eyes of a God who is forgiving, fun and full of infinite joy. He/she loves Halloween or is at the very least unconcerned. Go save your own soul Tim... start with giving up the ever godless presumption that you have a pass while the rest of us can't join you up there without your... help!
Too me it looks like a bunch of people having some fun. It's all in how you make it. I don't see the harm in people out there enjoying themselves. You aren't practicing Satanism by unless you KNOW you're practicing satanism. Wearing a rubber mask or walking around looking like a ghoul or George Washington or the Stay-Puft Marshmallow man with your friends and laughing it up is NOT worshiping Satan. There's a heck of lot more evil going on in this world that would be considered doing Satan's work than enjoying Halloween. Have a piece of candy, Tim and chillax.
Do you realize that Halloween started as a Christian holiday?
Some reporter makes a moon out of a grain of sand. Sorry no satan, just good clean folk and kids who love more than hate. Mommy and daddy are in! hey lets dance Flash Mob! I love it

Great pics. And only 33% featured a group of people that make up less than 10% of the population.
Actually, less than 2 percent, but they'll call you names galore for mentioning that or that one in five gay men currently has HIV according to WedMD.
I notice how this is not the most interesting article to the public. 2 comments..I do think the scary thing is John McCain and his continued pressure to keep the wars going!
I think the other scary thing is that Kyle is leaving his Budget committee post as it it too close to Christmas and may dishonor it! McCain to take his place effective 10:00 am Thursday. Palin and Tina Fey hooking up for a Book tour. Cheney taking Bachman for a hunting trip on George W's Ranch. More news to follow
Obama says the Solindra is what is scaring him this evening!
The GOP say it's President Obama that's scaring them. They are all DOA.
What scares me is folks taking a bit of innocent fun and turning into ugly, partisan politics. Good grief. Don't you all have anything inside you but hate and bitterness?
RE: comment #1 "Celebrating satan..." --Dude, Osama Bin Laden is dead. Why are you Christian Taliban types acting like him? Censor your own families, not ours!
No one is censoring your family. Stop exaggerating. If you want to worship satan, it's a free country. As you me and my house, we'll worship the Lord.
2 Fat little girls and their obese mom (she stayed in the street) wanted extra candy bars. My wife said 1 and they got upset. I would have told them both to get their fat pig a**es off my property if they started whining over what we were giving them. Their costumes sucked and they said neither "trick or treat" or "Thank You"... Kids these days need a swift kick to the head.
Love the photos. I miss getting trick or treaters. They all go by car to the town now. I am out in the countryside.
I have lived in a number of countries all over the place. We Americans may be behind technologically these days, our economy is shot, we are the only civilized country with no proper national heath care program, but we still do one thing the best: our holidays are the most fun and we celebrate with exuberance and crazy decorations!
Every single child who trick or treated tonite in my WVa community said thank you! Some more than once said thanks,IT WAS A TREAT FOR THEM!My wife and I so Enjoyed neighbor kids and some of the fun ways parents tried to make themselves less recognized as waitiiing for a particular child or group(probably the childs wish),fun was evidenced and heard around the neighborhood for a couple hours. America,s still alive out here...
