In Anton LaVey's Satanic Bible, he lists 72 names which he associates with the Devil. However, he references one name from an Eastern European culture which was actually granted gratefully by the local Christian community. What was that name?

"Ol' Split Foot"? Funny. I like a good sense of humor, even if it is aimed at my beliefs. But sorry to say that was way off.

You'r at least starting to guess the right category of names. But remember I said Eastern Europe.
And I'm happy to see some of you have read it.

Hey! Someone really knows his stuff!
Kudos for the "shemhamforash" reference, Jamal. But that's not one of the Infernal Names. It only calls upon them.

OK none of you got it. The answer was Dracula. His father, Dracul, was just a blood-thirsty warlord who faught to keep Turkish influence out of Christian Transelvania and was given the name "Dragon" (or "Dracul") by the local church. "Dracula" actually means "Son of the Dragon".
But Yahoo Answers has eliminated my ability to deny someone 10 points by picking "no best answer" so I'm gonna pick someone who's answer showes the most insight.

What you see is not as real as God. What you see should prove to you there is a God. If you try and tell me we just became without a creator then you need to go rethink some things. Ask any athiest how the whole universe came about to exist and I mean every galaxy, planet and star, also the ones still being created. Ask how the earth has one set speed it is to turn and one set speed to rotate around the sun. Also the sun is just at the right distance for life to be sustained here on earth which includes billions of diverse lifeforms (That according to athiests just popped out of nowhere or crawled out of the Ocean). Is it all just coincedence? Also ask them to get an empty mason jar and set it in their house and go back to the jar 20 or 30 years later or more if needed and see whats in it..........you know what would be in it? Still nothing. You have to have a Creator and it scares athiests.
Also for the big bang theory supporters........where did the material that went bang come from and the energy to make it go BANG? I'll tell you, God created it and he may have made a "BIG BANG" out of it to put it where he wanted it I won't dispute that because the Universe is still expanding. All in all the athiests have too many questians to answer themselves that the Bible already explains. I'd rather believe there is a God and die and if there isn't I will then lose nothing but if there is a God and Creator and I've argued to people he isn't then I lose alot. Think it over friend. Are you really sure about denying God? The evidence is against you. The Bible, the only Holy written word of God explains all things past, present and future. There is no excuse for not having the knowledge, it's there.

Dude, you would have to pick a question that is in the book I lent to my sister, and it's too late to call her.I'm going to take a wild guess and say 'Baal'.

Bruce Willis. Believe it or not, he is not Satan. Britney Spears is the common wrong answer, but I don't understand why.
