We always have to keep in mind what God thinks of things. The examples given us in scripture tells us that not all of the things that man does is acceptable to God, just because it means nothing to man, does not mean that God does not take the act seriously. Just the act of touching the Ark of the Covenant cost a person his life, a pinch of incense is all it would of taken for an early christian in the coliseum of Rome to save his life, eating a piece of fruit in the Garden of Eden cost all of mankind their lives, and soon, in the near future, mankind will be asked to take the mark of the beast, and if they do, it will cost them their lives, there will be no resurrection for them. The scriptures tell us that obedience is required by God, even Christ had to learn obedience to God, if we obey the rituals of man, against the laws of God it will never go well for us. There is nothing good about celebrating the death that Satan brought into this world, no matter how many costumes man uses to dress this holiday up, it is still the celebration of death, just like Christmas is the celebration of child sacrifice, no matter how beautiful the tree.
