Actor Kirk Cameron is urging Christians to celebrate a holiday many fundamentalists shun: Halloween.
When you go out on Halloween and see all people dressed in costumes and see someone in a great big bobble-head Obama costume with great big ears and an Obama face, are they honoring him or poking fun? the former "Growing Pains" star asked the Christian Post.
"They are poking fun at him," he said. Then, he added:
Early on, Christians would dress up in costumes as the devil, ghosts, goblins and witches precisely to make the point that those things were defeated and overthrown by the resurrected Jesus Christ. The costumes poke fun at the fact that the devil and other evils were publicly humiliated by Christ at His resurrection.

Sorry Kirk, Halloween isn't a Christian holiday, it's a pagan one. And you wore the masks and costumes to disguise yourselves so the evil walking abroad wouldn't get you, not anything to do with anything being 'defeated and overthrown' by Christ.
Nice try, banana boy.

you are supposed to make up history, not study it. They took over pagan holidays because they couldn't win against them so they joined them.
