Oh yeah, there's another point about Satan that I didn't want to make in my last post because I had already rambled on enough.

Many ideas about Satan only came about when Christianity was trying to be more strictly introduced into England, and the popular image was of heaven and hell, which remain to this date.
Also, as some of you may know Satan is often visualised as having horns, and legs of a goat, and his 'star' represents the rough features of a goats head, and this image started in the periods in England and America when they had all the witch hunts.
All these images are actually derived from their wrong belief back then that witches were associated with the devil, so they pictured satan as the god many witches then worshipped, Pan the deity with goats legs, a human body and horns.
So in fact, many people see the devil from a very wrong perspective, as witches are and were definitely not satanists.

I know this wasn't really relative to Satans evilness, I just wanted to clear some preconceptions.
