Meeting Satan the AntiChrist

W e l c o m e T o T h e

Much has been told and written about Satan and we all might have the idea what or who it is all about after watching most of the popular horror movies, right? Wrong.

Most of us would relate the word with a ghost or an evil spirit or dracula or a vampire. So, now I have decided, after my brush with the lovely lady on orkut, to write about Satan.

Satan:

(from the Hebrew word for "adversary"), is a term that originates from the Abrahami faiths, being traditionally applied to an angel in Judeo-Christian belief, and to a 'jinn' in Islamic belief.
While Hebrew Ha-Satan is "the accuser" — the one who challenged the religious faith of humans in the books of Job and Zechariah — Abrahamic religious belief systems other than Judaism relate this term to a demon, a rebellious fallen angel, devil, minor god and idolatry, or as an allegory for evil.

Appearance:

Satan has many appearances as there are different religions. For example, some people believe that Satan is invisible, some believe he is like the Minotaur, (half-man, half-bull). Others believe he is a small devillish spirit and others think that he is like a man. In many descriptions he looks like an angel. He normally has horns, a pointy tail and a staff.

In Satanism:

Much "Satanic" lore does not originate from actual Satanists, but from Christians. Best-known would be the medieval folklore and theology surrounding demons and witches. A more recent example is the so-called Satanic ritual abuse scare of the 1980s; beginning with the memoir Michelle Remembers – which depicts Satanism as a vast conspiracy of elites with a predilection for child abuse and human sacrifice. This genre regularly describes Satan as actually appearing in person in order to receive worship. Claims of Satanic child-molesting or murder rings are largely unsubstantiated.

People claiming to be Satanists – or outsiders claiming to describe Satanism – ascribe a wide variety of beliefs to this movement. These range from the literal worship of a spiritual being (Theistic Satanism); to a kind of subversive ritual performance stressing the mockery of Christian symbols (most notably the Black Mass); to the claimed rediscovery of an ancient but misunderstood religion (e.g. Setianism, which conflates Satan with the Egyptian god Set).
The most prominent and widely known Satanist in recent years was Anton Szandor LaVey, who founded the Church of Satan in 1966.

LaVey wrote The Satanic Bible (1969) and other works which remain highly influential (though controversial) among avowed Satanists. LaVey rejects the Black Mass, cruelty to animals, or a literal belief in (or worship of) Satan, instead considering

Satan as the human instinct within ourselves, which is what LaVeyan Satanism celebrates. Instead he supports a view of human beings as animals and rejects many social structures that he believes inhibit human instincts.

Signs of Satan:

The most popular and impressing is the "Hand Sign" for Victory or Power. Confused? Yes it is indeed the sign for Satan.

So, what I believe is "Satan" is basically the evil inside one's own self and which either needs to be cultivated or demolished as you wish.

I'll just add some horror to my blog with some wonderful "Satan" representations which you'll find nowhere.
