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,white people are not the children of satan. White people are no more hateful or ignorant than any other race of people. There are mean,ignorant,hateful people of all races and your question proves the point.

Actually satan is just a literary personification of the human tendency to rebel against God. And since literary personifications can't have children I guess the answer to your first question is "no".
As for why they are so hateful, I would suggest that "hateful" is a judgement on your part that results from your particular worldview - ultimately it indicates that you yourself are harboring a lot of hate. Funny in an ironic sort of way.

Since you asked this question to be noticed, I will ask you to look in the mirror. Exactly what you see is what you got. Only a child of the devil would ask such a question. Fortunately, sensible children of God know that there are only two races of people: those spiritually white, who have the same DNA and come in different shades and those spiritually black with minds like yours.
Fortunately, God gives us gifts of discernment to see through the outer wrappings to see the demons below.

.. And i guess Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpon, Lewis "i have been to the mother alien space ship" Farrakan preach peace , love , and harmony towards the white people? These three self appointed men of God spew forth more hate towards people with whom they do not agree. There is just as much hate from the blacks towards the whites as it is the other way around. Racial harmony will never be achieved until both sides decide to met it the middle.

basically to inform you i'm not religous by any means. yet when your imaging God as someone, how truthful is it that your blaming all the worlds tragedies on one individual? at the same time as something undesirable like the Connecticut shootings takes position that's not "Gods" fault that's the criminals fault. that's a blend of undesirable luck and a extreme psychotic spoil that led to this to happen and making use of a non secular make certain as blame for this adventure is arbitrary. the mummy and father of the youngsters and instructors do not so that you'll't. undesirable issues basically happen, that's way of existence.

Funny I'm not hateful. In fact I have not had contact with many hateful people until I started ANSWERS. It seems to me you are trying to incite some hatefulness yourself. It also seems to me the hateful people and the ones who start anger here are a bit uneducated and not thinking critically.
Ignorance and illiteracy breeds hate and anger.

Satan doesn't exist.Your question is racist and i feel sorry if you have experiences that make you feel this way.But that doesn't change the fact that it is wrong to judge a whole race of people by the actions of some.
That's called racism and is stupid and despicable.
