So on the nose is the traditional way of celebrating Halloween that a group called Media Evangelism has organised a march from Mong Kok to Tsim Sha Tsui today. Spokeswoman Vickie Chan said it was not right for Christians to celebrate Halloween by donning horror masks and demon horns and trying to scare each other as though it was a big joke. "Celebrating in this way means you are having a conversation with the Devil," she said. -- Why is no one pointing out that this is not mainstream Christianity? These evangelical organisations are representing an extreme and fundamentalist point of view. If Muslims were making these kinds of comments, the editorial view would be far more critical.
