Satan doesn't exist.
Satan is on A&E's biography tomorrow.
I don't think Satan exists. If he does, he's never done a damn thing for me.
But if satan doesn't exist, then God can't exist either, right?
See what happens when you post when you're bored?
Blah.

Doesn't work like that.
Satan was a creation of the church in the 3rd century in order to demonise local fertility gods.
I need to check that though, can't remember the name of the council that decieded it.

Yeah, but before that he was a collection of demons randomly incarnating Beelzebub, Azrael, Bhaal, Leviathan, Pazuzu, you name it. They were called Satan, which means obstacle, i.e. an obstacle on the road to salvation.
They started possessing pigs, then moved on to young girls, which makes them rational beings in my book.
It was only the european gods who were actually transformed.

If satan doesn't exist, then the sacrifices will have to stop. Quit toying with my emotions, people.

I don't think that follows. Why should the existence of God depend on the existence of Satan?

Azazel
Azazel is the chief of the Se'irim, or goat-demons, who haunted the desert and to whom most primitive Semitic (most likely non-Hebrew) tribes offered sacrifices. The Old Testament states that Jeroboam appointed priests for the Se'irim. But Josiah destroyed the places of their worship, as the practices accompanying this worship involved copulation of women with goats.
Good resource, Sphinx.

Well, in the Danish translation of the Book of Job (1:6), Satan is God's son. So the idea that Satan doesn't exist probably comes from an embarrassed god. You make out the logic.

Is it ok to believe just part of a religion?
If there is no Satan, there is a crack in the whole Christian story.

The bible quotes itself as being gospel. To disprove any portion of it is to destroy the entire work. It doesnt matter though its full of holes.

Lucifer was the leader of the angels who rebelled against the authority and was cast down from the clouded palace.
Every bit of decency and self awareness that we have has been fought for by his side, from that of the authority for centuries.
Lucifer and the relebellious angels are the ones on our side.
