A peom I found by Gary C. Michael DEC. 25, 2001:
TAKE THE CENTER OF SANTA AND SHIFT TO THE RIGHT,
TWO LETTER SPACES OUGHT TO SHOW YOU SOME LIGHT,
COULD THIS BE A WAY TO BRING GLORY TO A NAME?
THAT WAS KICKED OUT OF HEAVEN AND WORTHY OF BLAME?
WHY DO YOU SUPPOSE SANTA SAYS HO, HO, HO?
ZECHARIAH TWO, SIX AND SEVEN IS WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW.
GOD IS SAYING FLEE WITH PAIN IN HIS VOICE,
AWAY FROM CORRUPTION AND THOSE WHO SIN BY CHOICE,
SANTA IS MOCKING GOD!
LET'S COMPARE SANTA TO JESUS CHRIST,
AND YOU DETERMINE IF SANTA IS NAUGHTY OR NICE.
WHICH ONE CALLS THE CHILDREN UNTO HIM?
DIDN'T JESUS SAY BRING THEM TO HIM?
WHICH ONE KNOWS IF WE'VE BEEN GOOD OR BAD?
I SEE A COUNTERFEIT. BOY! THAT'S SAD,
IT TAKES OMNIPOTENCE TO READ EVERY MIND,
AND TRAVEL THE WORLD AND BE ABLE TO FIND,
ALL IN ONE NIGHT SO MUCH OF MANKIND,
SANTA IS MOCKING THE HOLY GHOST,
WE KNOW THAT JESUS MUST HAVE A LIST,
TO BRING HIS REWARD AND NO ONE BE MISSED,
SANTA IS A COUNTERFEIT, I INSIST

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’s 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
