Is Satan a time traveler too? Paganism is much older than Christianity.

This is a good question, one that is addressed in scripture.
When Jesus was resurrected from the dead he said:
"Touch me and see; a spirit does not have flesh and bones, as you see I have" (Luke 24:39)
So you see neither satan nor his demons can take on a physical form, or else they could have masquaraded as the resurrected Christ.
Jesus also warned against people claiming to be him:
"Then if anyone says to you, 'Look! Here is the Messiah!' or 'There he is!'--do not believe it. For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and produce great signs and omens, to lead astray, if possible, even the elect. Take note, I have told you beforehand. So, if they say to you, 'Look! He is in the wilderness,' do not go out. If they say, 'Look! He is in the inner rooms,' do not believe it. For as the lightning comes from the east and flashes as far as the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man."
- Matthew 24:23-27
Jesus says that when he returns there will be no mistaking it, everyone will know in an instant that the Creator of the universe has reappeared. So if someone says that they are Jesus, and their is any doubt in your mind or anybody else's mind, Jesus has not returned!

The Horned God (also known as the Green Man, Herne, Pan, Osiris, and Cernunnos) is the consort of the Goddess, the Sun to Her Moon.
Christians mistook the role of the Horned God in rituals and 'made' him the Devil/Satan. True Pagans, Wiccans do not believe in a wholely evil entity/God. So the answer to your question is: No.

Satan is not someone to blame when you do something wrong! "Oh Satan made me do it." Any Christian that says that is missunderstood or just plain ignorant. Satan is a temptor. He plays mind games. You ultimately have the responsibility of doing something or not, it's self control. I'm sorry, I just saw a lot of people saying that.
Back to your question. If Satan really is who the Bible says he is, then he wouldn't do something like that. Why would Satan allow himself to be cruxified? Satan is a whimp, and a coward. What Jesus did for us all is far from what Satan would ever do. Thanks!

Who says they're not already tricked? I say Satan looks suspiciously like all those Moral Majority guys. Coincidence? I don't know...

Yup, satan is just someone to blame when you don't want to accept responsibility for your own actions and mistakes.

LOL. Satan is a scapegoat used to blame for their wrongdoing.

the bible says he will do that during that rupture (the last days), but there are ways to tell that he is really the devil if you read the bible.
