Why is Satan cool?
Personaly i dont think he's cool at all, but I've experienced that many teenagers etc. thinks he is. You also see Satans handsign in for example the rock music. So why do you think he is cool/uncool?

Because kids like to like things they aren't "supposed to" and i think he's generally seen as a rebellious thing to like. and the devil has become fairly mainstream in today's culture, so he's seen more as a cool evil guy than the guy that tortures you when you die or whatever christians beleive in ;o

Couldn't have said it better myself, and it can also be pretty fun to shock/scare people with those crazy beliefs.
<Fish> How is being a dumbass a form of venting? Is this some sort of flatulence related joke?

Yep, true. They don't care about the religious stuff.

I just wanted to note that is not the devil's handsign. The only thing it has to do with evil stuff is that it once was meant to prevent you from evil. In metal it has nothing to to with the devil (except some faggots who think they are oh so evil if they show it). Otherwise the Texas Longhorns are satanists, too.

You made my day. ^^
Signature temporarily out of order.

He's seen as the ultimate fighter of the establishment; someone who doesn't play by the rules. He's the guy who will not suppress his desires for social norms, but indulge them fully. Teens especially are drawn to that, because they are inclined to rebel at that stage of their development.

One of the biggest virtues of Biblical Satan, I think, is that he is not a hypocrite. He doesn't put on a facade of piety while secretly dreaming of sinning - he stays true to himself, without fear of displeasing the powers that be (whether its God or society).

Talking about Satanism?(La vey)Yeah,they're all for individualism,basically that's their way for reaching higher level of greatness(becoming gods).It's concept sounds good...but the spiritual stuff are full of shit.Some of their statements sounds scary.

If someone bothers you,and after asking them stop,they don't;destroy him.Sounds fair enough :P
Of course satanists will try to explain it in a more acceptable way,that's whats every religion does.
Your messed up world enthrills me

I haven't read the satanic bible, and not really planning to. I really don't need some pompous dufus to tell me how do be a hedonist (sorry La Vey fans). Some fragments of it I read on the net are quite ridiculous, talking about magic and all that jazz.

Pretty much this.

Satan seems to relate to the rebellious teenagers more than God does.

Also, I don't really see how Satan is the evil one when God kills more people than he does. Satan is just being himself, is that so wrong?

Satan is the tempter. He tempts people to do things, they normally wouldnt do. Like with the snake offering Eva an apple from the specific tree they couldnt take apples from. When Satan tempts them to do something very wrong, God starts a rebellion, and might take some people down. Anyways, what i am trying to say is; Satan tempts people to do things against God's will. He does this on purpose so God is enforced to do something. If you see it this way, it is actually Satan's fault. Also, The Almighty Lord spelled backwards is Drol Ythgimla Eht.

If you get to be a cat in your next live, then its actually an upgrade. In religions with reincarnations included, animals are more likely to be better than becoming some human.
