I would agree with you If I believed in Satan, but I don't.
In ancient Jewish tradition Satan is simply an angel doing the work that God assigned to Satan to do.
The word Satan means challenger. With the idea of Satan challenging us, or tempting if you will. This description sees Satan as the angel who is the embodiment of man's challenges. This idea of Satan works closely with God as an integral part of God plan for us. His job is to make choosing good over evil enough of a challenge so that it becomes clear to us that there can be only one meaningful or logical choice.
Contrast this to Christianity, which sees Satan as God's opponent. In Jewish thought, the idea that there exists anything capable of setting itself up as God's opponent would be considered polytheistic or setting up the devil to be an equally powerful polarity to god or a demigod.
Oddly, proof for The Christian satan/devil mythology is supposedly found in the ancient Jewish texts that were borrowed to create the bible. One can’t help but wonder how Christians came up with such a fantastically different interpretation of Gods assistant Satan in their theology.
Other hints about Satan’s role in human relations can be seen if you look at the name Lucifer. It meaning in the original tongue translates as Light bearer or light bringer. Essentially the bringer of enlightenment. The temptations of the Satan idea bring all of us eventually into Gods light. Hardly the Evil entity of Christian mythology.

No it is the work of man. I don't believe there is a being of pure evil just as I don't believe there is a being of pure good. Nothing is an absolutely one thing without some of the other.
If a radio station puts on a show that offends you then remember that at least it makes you think and appreciate your values all the more. If it offends you too much then you have the freedom to change the station, if enough people change the station then the radio station must either lose that show or lose all its sponsors.

Satan does not exist except as a concept.
Talk radio is the result of capitalism and advertisers discovering their target audiences thrive on garbage (controversy for the sake of controversy) for their entertainment.
If talk radio is the work of Satan, then bible thumpers and Republicans are the most Satanic groups of all since they are the primary supporters of talk radio.

Eph 2:2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:
2co 4:4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

Yes. The tongue is the rudest member of the body. It is through the tongue that all sin is revealed in a person. Jesus said that it is not what goes into the body that defiles a man, but what comes out of the mouth because what comes out of the mouth proves a person's heart.

No. Talk is human quality. Radio was invented by someone else. It is you who make it the way you desire!
