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.

Tool #1...TV!
Tool #2...the "education" system
Tool #3...the local Christian Church
Tool #4...pretty much everything else.
Remember Lucifer was given dominion over this world when cast out of heaven...he now works directly through the mass media, banks and governments. Think I'm crazy? Look around.

How do advertisers advertise? You get people talking about it and believing it. It doesnt really matter HOW he does it, what matters is we know the evil and temptation when we see it, and use Gods Holy Spirit to flee from it.

No but he reaches us through such agencies as our intellect or mode of thinking and also through the influence of others around us be it directly or through secondary mediums such as TV and Cinema or wherever he can get our attention.

He uses everything. TV, magazines, books, websites, atheists (just kidding. =D Some atheists are actually more moral than some Christians.) Anything he can use to immoralize us, he'll use it. So be careful what you watch and read.
