i think that who ever thinks that the Satan is cool, is probably crazy. look at what god has given us, he created humans as beautiful as any being in the universe. he gave us a place to stay, and grow up. Satan is only in charge of torturing humans after the end of the world comes. Satan swore to disturb any human living on earth ever since God created Adam, the first human that was created by God. and muslims pray not just because Allah tells us to, we pray to THANK him for the things that he gave us and brought us. we pray to ASK him for stuff. and he always listens, he'll give a person his/her wish if he sees him/her as a hard working person and not the kind who sits there everyday, asking him to give him/her straight A's for his/her exams but didn't even study. he understands our pain, thats why he decreased the number of prayers we need to do from 50 times a day to 5 times. thats how kind he is.

Guys, before making these lazy posts, saying that Satan is uncool, try reading the first post, and some of the answers. I'd like a little seriousity, although this is off-topic we don't have to be lazy and make 5 words posts, that we cant use for anything.

I would like to hear everyone's serious opinions, not some random posts.

Edit: Thank you darkblood, that's what I'm talking about.

one example of a a religion which worships Satan, or anything related to Satan is Iluminati,

That^. Again. I'd like some serious opinions and good arguments.
Saying "Satan is not cool", isn't really optimal.

Satan clearly isn't cool

Moderators? Do you feel like this could fit into Discussion? I'm not sure if it's that big of a debate thread, but I've gotten some good comments before these trolls came. I would like this to be discussed instead of making it into wibbles.

He is idolized through media, music, games etc etc. "Black versus white" and so on.
He gets mentioned so much that it attracts attention, therefore people will always have a possibility to think of him in different situations.

Often the image of satan gets distorted because of things mentioned above, for an example Satan in metal is the badass of all badasses, and in games hell is often the force you fight with or against.

It's cool to be evil now days, because we don't hang people anymore.


Please for the love of your god stop being so ethno-centric.

I've always wondered about Satan's actual position, and all the references I've read give slightly contradictory views, so they weren't much help, so I'll pose the questions that I'm wondering so I can hopefully get some answers to. I'll specify that I'm looking for Biblical fact, and not popular culture fact.

1. Satan gets addressed by so many different names, Lucifer, the Devil, etc. etc. yet I constantly see them get addressed with conflicting statements (different backgrounds, personalities etc. etc.). So I'm wondering if I picked up something wrong somewhere and that the names aren't all synonymous.

2. Assuming that the names are synonymous, Lucifer was an angel who rebelled against God (according to Judeo-Christian belief), yet he's now believed to be completely evil, which seems a bit odd. Also, I've heard that Lucifer was actually "corrupted" by a female called Lilith, though I believe that to be just a bunch of anti-women rhetoric. But if it's true, then Satan isn't in theory a bad person then. So why is there this belief that he's all-evil?

3. Lastly, if he is all evil, why did God delegate him to a position where he gets to torture individuals as punishment for his rebellion (unless you use Dante's Inferno mythology, in which case this statement is null, but I'm assuming not). That seems a bit counter-productive. That seems now like you're rewarding the man for rebelling against you, as he now has full access to an almost infinite amount of people to satisfy any sadistic urge he might have.


There's just so much lore and stories out there about Satan that it's rather hard to get all the facts straight, or at least partially right.
