That actually made me LOL - guess the pagans etc could use a little tuition on alternative myth-related insults.

Oh boy. Well, for one thing, the figure of "Satan" is the enemy, so to speak, of the Christian religion. But the figure of Jesus is NOT the enemy of the Pagan religion. And there's a difference between Pagans and Satanists. BIG difference. Blessed be.

Cute, really cute. You need to draw religious cartoons. Most likely because the pagans and satanist don't believe there was ever a Jesus. So why give it any credence.

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.
Love and blessings

If you've been called satan by any religeous folks then they are the ones with issues. Look at the Westboro Baptist Church for instance. They completely twisted things up and make all christians look bad.

I wouldnt call you Satan, I would call you a pagan. Noone should ever claim to be Jesus Christ.
