Satan as a concept is a dispute and far from conclusive. One of my friends (quite a psycho, but that's beside the point) is a self-proclaimed "Satanist" who probably thinks it's cool to have Lucifer as his idol. I could call myself a Satanist just so, like those nobles refered to earlier, to piss people off.
I'm not PC I just don't sse a reason to use words that insult people for fun. Seems to me the only reason Satan is cool is because he is outcast and looked down on.

I assume you're taking the concept of Satan from the epic Paradise Lost? Since you seem to refer to "losing a war" which, if I remember correctly, did not really happen. That was just a literary work. The Bible itself -- or at least "half" of it -- considers Satan God's testing agent. Besides, what you fail to see -- others might be able to see. Or can see.
The concept of "cool" itself is childish. We teenagers like to be cool; you can't dictate how we are cool. We are just cool. It's just a word. Loki is Thor's brother, no? Then he's as much a god as any.
Ad hominem. Not work.
Sorry, you lost me with the whole "what you can see." Yes Satan is God's testing agent but it seems to me Satanists ignore that as well. I did reference Job above, actually. Satan rebelled against God, so we are told, and was cast down. Milton's Paradise Lost is an elaboration of the Bible, which is a bit spartan on details. My point stands.

You're wrong about Loki, he was not Odin's brother. His parents were the giants Farbauti and Laufey. The idea that he was Thor's or Odin's brother was, I believe, a late attempt to reintegrate him. He was however a companion of both Odin and Thor during their travels.

Evil = ... ... ... I don't know. Read the social contract theories (or the Bible, heck) and pick your definition. Or invent one. Or just take society's definition as your own.
If it offends my concience then its bad, at the extreme end of the scale, with baby eating etc. is evil.

It's called rebellious nature. The opposite of conforming, you know...
Non-conformity is a joke. All the Goths around at the moment think they are non-conformists, what they've missed is that they're just conforming along with everyone else. Want to be a real non-conformist? Become a Librarian.
