Looks like some Christian folks in the American south are upset that Halloween falls on a Sunday this year. Many are threatening to boycott (not send their kids out, not give out candy) Halloween.

"You just don't do it on Sunday," said Sandra Hulsey of Greenville, Georgia. "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."

It's been determined that Saturday will be designated as the Devil's day to prevent confusion.

Jeez.

So what's the deal, are these people crazy, or should Halloween be moved so as not to insult God by desecrating the sabbath (I bet they don't have a problem with NASCAR on Sundays :P )
