What is Satan to you?
Interesting interpretation and I can see where I would have come out that way, and apologize as such.
I have no reason to be "mad" at god, therefore I am not. I read somewhere that Lucifer was made to bring light to the universe, and stated that he would not be slavery. That makes sense to me. Though, for reasons of not going off topic, I shall not explain why. Then: god slaps him with the proverbial pain stick. That makes me think gods an "asshole". I put it in quotes because I realized upon re-reading the post that I probably shouldn't swear on your forum. Its kind of a habbit. lol. instead read: odd. I shall endeavor to tame my language in the future.
On the topic of what is Satan to me, again I must apologize. I meant to portray that I know little - or none- on the topic of Satan. My quest is scholarly, I have read there is a large boom in Satanist philosophy, even to say it has branched in to many different forms. This has lead me to be very curious on what people believe: more specifically what is taught that the church does not teach. I looked briefly into the LeVayan philosophy and found, thus spoken quite publicly, many relations to atheism. That made me think it was not necessarily the... "genre" of satan worship I was looking in to. Though, that brings me to what was said later in the topic:

one of the things I always tell beginners is to start small and find what interests you, and then branch out from there. Start with the basics and at least read the Satanic Bible so that you have an understanding of modern Satanism and it's psychology. The spiritual side will be easier to understand from there.
So, I shall refuse my previous inclination (to believe that the LeVay form is not what I was looking for) and read the satanic bible! I might add, its initial philosophies (those that I have browsed already) are beautiful to ponder. I find myself exited to read it further.
On the topic of the other references I will most defiantly look at them, and thank you! my questions have been answered, and I leave the topic itself to the will of the moderators as I find my questions fulfilled.
Thank you, and have a wonderful existence of peace and love! [crazy]
