I didnt say that satanists worship satan. All I'm saying is that satanist reject the idea of christ so they can't be considered Christians. No one said it much better than you did, and I strongly agree- satanists are simply aetheists with a clearer moral outline of doing one's own will and being their own Gods. I am no way proving anything in the name of religion. All i'm doing is throwing questions to questions like a good philosopher in hopes that someday, i might find the truth.

As with your views about the devil, I hope you won't take offense but i would have to pinpoint a couple of errors. First, NEVER will you find Lucifer described in the Bible as the most magnificent and beautiful of the arch angels, and Yahweh- not Jahwe's (God's) favorite of all the angels and that whole story about Lucifer being granted one wish by God, and in stating he wanted to be god, was thrown in hell. If you can give me the exact book, chapter and verse, I would apologize and keep my mouth shut. Rather, our knowledge of this story stems from dear old Judaism which is the root where christianity originally branched out. Even Judaism has many versions of this story. This story also appears in the Nag Hammadi Library if you're interested in checking it out. Second, the bible- specifically Paul for instance, identifies Satan, or Prince of the World- his other name, as THE ENEMY. Third, I believe your logic about God's omnipotence is valid but not sound. The devil is God's "enemy" in a sense that the devil represents everything that is the opposite of God, but despite of this- the devil is under God, or a subordinate (is this the right word?) of God, so although the devil is the enemy, he is not powerful enough to be an obstacle to God.

i've said this so many times to people but even evolution contradicts itself if you take a look at it. Just look for instance mutations. The human body is a very fragile body- at the time before conception, so many things are happening that even a slight change or mutation such as an extra chromosome would potentially make the child abnormal.
Just one good, healthy mutation is very hard to come by. Imagine then how it was possible for humans to have evolved from monkeys with so many "healthy or good mutations" in just a a course of a couple of hundreds of millions of years. The odds are close to impossible.

Also, evolution tends to favor those mutations that enable us to adapt at environments tend to be preserved. If this is the case, then why didn't we develop small heads? In the pre historic times- in the abscence of doctors and education etc. many mothers have died of childbirth because of the child's big head. why didn't our heads mutate to smaller ones? evolution is simply a theory that scientists use to explain the unknown- it is no different from religion. Some philosophers say that religion was born out of man's means to explain the unknown. Since both are made by humans, they can't be perfect. they're also doomed to fail.
