It's good that you agree with me thus far, let us see how far we can go with that. If Satan is not separate from God as we agreed, then he was created by God, just like everything else. So if everything that was created by God is perfect by nature, and has all the attributes that God himself has, then if Satan is evil so is God. Because God has all the attributes, he is the originator of everything. So God is evil and good? He wants us to suceed AND fail? No, God doesn't have a will[read: Ethics*].

So this renders good and evil meaningless, or at most modes of thinking in a moral way that is not true morality [read: Ethics*].

I think that is what Satanism is trying to avoid with their philosophy. Just the name of the religion is not important, not to anyone who can see past it that is. The fact that they consider themselves gods is what we are to take notice. They are not without their silliness mind you, magick and all that crap.

*Ethics was written by this man:Benedict de Spinoza

One of the greatest philosphers of all time, IMO.
