In Christian comment, Chronicle, October 28, Roger Tyler expressed this view about Halloween: ‘It is a doorway, for some, to enter the occult and seek to engage with dark spiritual forces.’

How does he know such things?

I do know, however, that if you mention the word ‘meditation’, every Christian within earshot will pick up a guitar and begin to praise the Lord.

But for sure, a carved ­pumpkin, kids in fancy dress, trick and treat… it’s all a bit of fun, if not for everyone.

The occult? The god that you worship, Mr Tyler, loves bloody sacrifice and the smell of burning flesh (Leviticus 1).
