Of all the main American holidays (Christmas, Valentines day, Christmas, Easter) Halloween is the only one with no Christian basis. BTW Thanksgiving does have a Christian basis, because it involved Christians giving thanks to the lord for the food they received from the natives.

Helloween on the other hand is purely a pagan holiday from before Jesus. It was invented by dumb savages who mostly spoke in babble rather than an intelligent language. It involved worshipping demons and shaking down people for treats. Samhain I believe it was called.
It really shows what a difference Christianity makes right?

Actually,
Christmas was a completely pagan ritual and most of the silly little things you still do at that time of year are a celebration of the winter solstice.  The catholic church decided to commandeer that part of the year because they thought if you can't beat it, join it.  
The Yule log, caroling, mistletoe, the christmas tree, on down the rabbit hole we go.  Christmas is very nearly completely pagan and I know of a handful of REALLY devout christians who will not even consider celebrating it.  For centuries Christmas was a time of debauchery and some churches would even outlaw it.  If you want to go ahead and get your head out of your butt and out of your Bible (often the same thing) you'd know that most of your religion is plagarized and that your silly rules are just stupid regurgitated rules thought up by primitives. 

Happy Halloween

Next you'll be saying Easter was originally a pagan holiday too. Tongue

Good video to watch, if you want to know how common the Jesus story really is.
