Typical trick-or-treater
-Butterfingers of the damned-
Christian Broadcast Network has a special page devoted to informing people of the dangers posed by the pagan devilry of Hallowe'en. This is Pat Robertson's network, so it probably wouldn't surprise you to learn that it's freakin' insane.
You really don't even have to go beyond the blurbs to get how crazy this all is. The headline Suffer Not the Trick-or-Treaters tells us, "You have a unique opportunity to invest in the Kingdom of God without even leaving your home. Suffer not these little children and consider how you can protect them from the hauntings of the Enemy."
The Enemy's Victory: Darkened Homes & Harvest Parties tells us how one pastor spends his Satanic holiday; "inside the four walls, hunkered down behind the stained glass."
And the answer to "Should Christians Celebrate Halloween?" can be condensed down to one simple sentence -- "For the love of Sweet Jesus, NO!"
Other fun Hallowe'en info, Do Vampires and Ghosts Really Exist? (kinda yes, kinda no -- it's all the Devil), Introduction to the Occult (a handy guide to the evils of Ouija boards and Magic Eight-Balls), and The Moral in My Meatloaf (seriously, I've got no freakin' idea...).
The religious right, ladies and gentleman, bringing you crazy-assed bullshit since Nixon was president. (CBN, via Wonkette)
-Headline of the day-
"Kucinich: Is it time to question Bush's mental health?"
The world: Yes. (Raw Story)
-Bonus HotD-
"Giuliani Resembles Bush on Terror War." Because I never get tired of pointing out that, actually, he resembles Nosferatu more than anyone. CBN might want to check whether its "Do Vampires and Ghosts Really Exist? " op-ed is accurate. (AP)

Nice work as always. My only comment is to note what I view as a false characterization of one of the cbn articles.
The Enemy's Victory: Darkened Homes & Harvest Parties tells us how one pastor spends his Satanic holiday; "inside the four walls, hunkered down behind the stained glass."
The quote is correct, though I'm not sure where you got the part about the pastor. The author excoriates those Christians who are afraid of Halloween and those who try to suck the holiday joy (such as it is) out of everyone else.
Frankly, if the only rumblings I were to hear from Evangelical America were of this nature, I doubt we would even be talking about it. Of the articles linked here, this is the definitely the most moderate.
The other articles, though... batshit-crazy.
