Is satan mentioned anywhere else other than in the Bible? I know there are ancient beliefs and folklore about evil beings or spirits, but isn't the Bible the origin of the word satan? I think the word means "opposer" or "one who opposes" in Hebrew. He was also called Beelzebub in the NT.
What is the goal in worshipping him? I am not "opposed" to it (pun intended), just curious. I actually don't believe this character exists so no arguments out of me about who worships what. But I really would like to know what Satanists believe and why they believe it.

This link explains a few origins and evolved beliefs.
Similar with Wicca from witchcraft in some respects - beliefs are appropriated according to the humans tuning their essence into the world and nature during their lifetime - as a spiritual journey!.
Well, now I have some questions about your experience with the wife's Uncle who believes your things are "Demonized."
Did it depend on the distance from the storage building to his Watchtower magazines?
Does this Uncle make it a practice to never rent movies of any rating at all? I am asking this because even if he does rent G Rated movies only, how does he do that without getting so close to the R Rated rack?
Is the R Rated movie rack further away from the G Rated movies than his house is to the storage unit?
Also, how does he buy all the alcohol he drinks without getting too close to the porn magazines that are often in convenience stores that sell alcohol? I would think that those X-Rated Demons would be a lot more evil than the R-Rated Demons, don't you?
How does he "screen" restaurants before he goes in to make sure none of the customers have "demon" material in their pocket or purse that he could be eating his T-Bone right next to? What about a waitress who might have a pentagram tattoo that is not easily visible? Can she still bring him his food?
Thank you for the link R. Crusoe....looking that up.
ask him what demon is possessing him to be a drunk and beat his wife
Ha! Pickled, I love your questions! Utterly absurd, yet they would be perfectly logical considerations if their wacked out take on demons was at all accurate!
Tired: Maybe your demon can get together with the demon my wife said was causing my depression! (Funny, mine doesn't seem to come around that much since she moved out).
I think I'd have to scatter a few smurfs around his house!!
"Maybe your demon can get together with the demon my wife said was causing my depression! (Funny, mine doesn't seem to come around that much since she moved out)."
LOL. So now it's back to Ms. Demon?
From R. Crusoe's Link...
"The Satanists' concept of Satan is pre-Christian, and derived from the Pagan image of power,
virility, sexuality and sensuality."
Tired, does your Uncle take Viagra? This may be a way to get him disfellowshipped.
