Rory As has been said the Satan in Satanism is from the Bible, he's cut and paste. Saying the Bible is biased is silly because Satan is from the Bible, whether he comes from another religion originally or not the version in Satanism is the "polished" version from Christianity, not some proto-Satan the Jews nicked from someone else.

As to my not listening, I could say the same about you not listening to my arguement. Ask a Christian whether Satan is evil/the emobodiment of evil and you will get a resounding yes. Thats why when starting a religion you shouldn't name it Satanism, because the only reason to do that is to stick a finger up at Christianity.

As to his role in Jewdaism, I also said:

Satan is the embodyment of evil in the Bible, it's not about religion but morality. Satan is a morrally corrupting figure. Plus admiring him is stupid because he's clearly still working for the big G, as he has no free will.

Notice I never said Satan himself was actually evil. If you use your loaf you'll realise that Satan can't go against God because, as an angel, he's supposed to lack free will. Also in the book of Job God allows Satan to test Job. If you can stop him doing something to Job then he can stop him doing anything else either.

A.Saturnus, Would you call your cat Adolf Hitler? Before you say it, no its not different. Satan is not a word its a name. The name of the embodiement of evil in Christianity and so western culture in general.
