Just Curious...
Why do people believe in Satan?
What is satanic believers objective and Believes?
Do they really want to end up in Hell When they die? Why?...
How is Hell like, is it written/described in their bible?
Perhaps i see they just watch to much Scary Movie...
Just for a short term thrill perhaps...
I have a decent looking college who is in this cult..Surprising!
I tried investigate it in the bible, but it talks so little about the Lake of Fire or Hell or Satan!

Satan is very real. He is mentioned many, many times in the Bible as is the lake of fire aka hell. There are Satanists who have written a "Satanic Bible" yet they claim not to worship Satan - go figure! Satan doesn't care to own a real Bible because he knows the end of the story - he looses.
Go to BibleGateway.com (it's on online Bible) and just type in the word Satan. You get something like 47 mentions in the Bible. You might also want to look up "Lucifer." That was Satan's name when he was an angel. There are 54 references to hell.
Here's one verse about hell:
Revelation 19:20 (King James Version)
"And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshiped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone."
Not sure if this is what you're looking for but I hope it helps a little.

Don't ever underestimate Satan as he knows the Bible far better than we give him credit for! The very reason that so many false religions and cults exist in the world today is because he knows how to mix just enough truth with error to make something sound plausible and attractive enough for people to follow as he knows that their end will be in hell. Jesus himself said that hell was created for the devil and his angels. For a really good description of Satan read Ezekiel CH.28 V.13-19 and note here that the Lord also describes him as being full of wisdom obviously not someone to mess with as he has many names in the Bible such as murderer, liar etc., You will find hell mentioned in Revelations and also the parable of the rich man and Lazarus in the Gospels where Jesus talks about once entering there is no way out. The best advice I can offer is for you to make sure you are right with the Lord as at any time you are only a heart beat away from eternity!

Satan is mentioned in the New Testament 35 times. Name is devil is in the Old Testament 4 times. And demons are mentioned in both Old & New Testament.
See 2 Peter 2:4 & Jude 6 about God's adversary. Devil means adversary. Revelation 20:10, 15 talks about the Devil and Rev. 20:8-9 talks about Satan.
Satan was the first angel that God created, God named him Lucifer, meaning 'light'. He was a great cherubim, an archangel. When he rebelled against God, God throw him out of Heaven and to earth. God changed his name from Lucifer (a holy name) to Satan, meaning 'adversary'. Satan then has spent all his time getting people to turn away from God.

People worship satan because they are deluded. It's a bit like in the Star Wars where "the Dark Side of the Force" is more alluring. Theologians would disagree with my comparison because God and satan are not some sides of some force. I think it's good for understanding the motivation of these people; don't assume it tells you something about God or satan or the relationship between them.
Some reading:

Well, somehow all connect to rock music--perhaps because this is a public expression of satanism (not all of it, of course).

yeah, it's called "the satanic bible" of all things written by anton lavaye.
Sure God wanted to warn us about Hell, I think He gave us as much info as needed. The more important issue is one of Salvation.

satan and his demons know hell is a real place; and the fear of it makes them tremble and quake; for they KNOW that is to be their eternal destination. How sad that people think you're being anything other than loving and caring when you try to warn them of this very real place of torment that is reserved for the devil, and his demons and all who reject Jesus Christ's free gift of eternal life! If one doesn't care, one says nothing!

satan is a living spirit who contradicts the teachings of GOD. it is satan who wanted to do bad things against the law of GOD. you should not believe to the dectates of satan for you to kill, steal thinbgs that does not belong to you and all bad things he wanted you to do. at present nobody has gone to hell since Jesus has not yet return to earth for final judgement to the living soul on earth

seriously. how can you believe in the devil and want to follow it! if you believe in the devil, then you must surley believe in God. you can't have one w.o the other that is illogiacle.
if you let it evil will take over your body. you should let the person you care about know that if satin exists, god exists and satin will harm his own kind but god will not. he will only help.
Evil has taken them over soo much that they are blind to the truth. they need to start working for the right team
