Satan is evil. Bush is good.
Do us a big favor and grow up. Ask real questions.

Satan speakes english.
Seriously,
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 Gods 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

Satan was invented by the hierarchy of the church in the second century AD to control the uneducated masses through fear for all of eternity. Bush was elected by the people that were educated to do the same thing for a four year term.

This question is proof that the liberals don’t have anything real to talk about! They can only think in metaphors given to them by a foreign dictator and have no idea of how to address real issues.

Satan has a brain. His current incarnation is Dick Cheney.
**********************************
otherworldtrader - is right of course. Satan is myth and Bush is a real person living in an imaginary make-believe world (where the Devil really exists).
A real Satan would be an improvement.
