Well now isn't that interesting. Let's see, their 'Satan' was designed around the image of the Pagan Horned God. And most Pagans follow the belief that we are all Gods & Goddess'. Vegetarians are quite prominate amoung the Pagan community (at least the elders). So I believe you may be on to something. Yes! ALL VEGETARIANS ARE SATAN! ; )
Blessed Be....

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.

Actually no, recent studies by a Stupid University in Sim City has concluded that he is in fact not a vegetarian and does love getting his daily intake of iron.

Satan is a fictional man-made creation.

His deceptions have more to do with spiritual things.

Some of these questions are so insanely stupid. I can't believe people actually waste everyone's time asking these types of questions.
