M. SCOTT MORRIS Between getting a degree and getting a job, I worked a part-time delivery route in the Atlanta area. One of my stops was a Christian bookstore, where the manager and I often talked about this and that before I continued my rounds. On Oct. 31, I walked in and said, “Happy Halloween.” “Gesundheit,” he said. That puzzled me, so I repeated my “Happy Halloween,” and he repeated his “Gesundheit.” As far as I know, that was my first encounter with someone who wanted nothing to do with the holiday, though there might’ve been others who kept their dislike quiet. Perhaps they were the folks in my neighborhood who turned off their lights, so no superheroes, princesses or goblins knocked on their doors. The Bible takes a stern view of witchcraft and spirits, and Halloween could be interpreted as a celebration of evil.
