Oops! I Forgot to Tell a Joke!

Bruce Tinsley may want to check his facts on this one:

While the name that we know it by (a contraction of All Hallow Even) may be Christian in origin, it's fairly safe to call it just another case of the church (more specifically, Pope Gregory III)  co-opting pagan celebrations as their own—and therefore is not exactly Christian in origin.    (Then again, since when has Tinsley ever let small things like the facts get in the way of his righteous indignation?)
