Isn't Satan just another name or title for Lucifer/Azazel/Prometheus/Mithra/Mitra, meaning "adversary" in Hebrew? In Magian metaphysics (Judaism, Christianity, Islam), Satan is falsely portrayed as an adversary of both man and God. But in the more ancient Greek, Zoroastrian and Vedic sources, he was the true creator of mankind and is an adversary against only the malevolent pantheon of Gods.
In that sense, we are all sons of Satan.
Indeed.
Devil < Deva, in Sanskrit: "God." Mitra, in Sanskrit: "Friend."
Satan stood up to God, turned his back on him, and for this alone has been tormented by eternal damnation.
The competitive distrust of a rival?
That God would not, could not, does not, will never, tolerate a duality, a multiplicity, a splitting up, a big bang of
scattering across: διά-βολος -- literally, the diabolical.
And yet.
Something in here goes to the very heart and mystery of creation itself, of the separation and differentiation and variegation and
destruction necessarily implied in any act of "creation."
Πάντα ῥεῖ. Everything is in flux.
Something radiates through it all, through the distance and closeness of these sometimes apparently Manichean forces, the closeness and distance of --
friends. Through Lucifer, the "bringer of light," ironically, may we come to know the Infinite God.
