how'd we overlook this campaign issue?

NEWNAN, Ga. - Across the Bible Belt this Halloween, some little ghosts and goblins might get shooed away by the neighbors - and some youngsters will not be allowed to go trick-or-treating at all - because the holiday falls on a Sunday this year.

"It's a day for the good Lord, not for the devil," said Barbara Braswell, who plans to send her 4-year-old granddaughter Maliyah out trick-or-treating in a princess costume on Saturday, the day before, instead.

You just don't do it on Sunday," said Sandra Hulsey of Greenville, Ga. "That's Christ's day. You go to church on Sunday; you don't go out and celebrate the devil. That'll confuse a child."

1. I'd be willing to bet

not one kid gives it a second thought.

2. The "Devil" is an Abrahamic notion

and has very little to do with the pagan religions. I feel like Christians who think like this in terms of pure good/evil are more Manichaeans than monotheists.
