The proper noun of Satan should always be capitalized in accordance with the rules of English (which is also capitalized). The word satanical, however, is not capitalized when it is within a sentence.

Following proper grammar, yes, since it is a name.
To de-capitalize a name because of the person, isn't that much like judging them?
Even the archangel Michael didn't dare to bring a railing accusation against the devil. See Jude, verse 9.

I always write a Capital S when I write the name Satan. He is a higher power that is extremely strong and very easy to grow fond of. I hate the evilness he's placed in the world, but hey, if he can do that he can do just about anything..

According to the rules of grammar, yes, because it **is** a proper name. Not everyone agrees, though; or they feel the "doesn't deserve it" principle takes precedence over capitalization rules. Christian writer Jay Carty, for example, intentionally uses a small s ("satan") because he chooses not to give him even that much acknowledgement, even to the point of violating grammatical rules.

Because he is not God (capital G). It is my opinion that God created satan in an effort to duplicate Himself. It was a way for God to reveal His Absolute Omnipotence since He was just too powerful to do it. But once satan saw just how powerful he himself was, he thought he could really challenge God. He lost and that is why he is not qualified to use the capital S.

the word 'satan' is a hebrew word that means "accuser" or "opposite" It is NOT a proper name and therefore should NOT be capitalized. Lucifer,Beelebub, Asmodeus..those are proper names.

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.
