Moto,

There are umpteen "occult" traditions that have no mention of Satan or Lucifer (or any of the 2 billion names the Bible calls him).

This is not really true. Pretty much every single occult system is fundamentally Satanic in their core teachings, which are always about achieving enlightenment, spiritual awakening or contact with some kind of divine essence. This is literally the core teaching of every occult system I've ever studied.[Satanic systems usually don't explicitly mention Satan, and if they even do it isn't until the highest level (most secret) teachings. They simply talk about enlightenment and mankind's ability to redeem himself through secret knowledge.

And for the ones that do...

So what? Even if Satan exists...

Lets play devil's advocate for a second. Who's to say that the Bible hasn't unfairly villainized him?!

Maybe God (ya know the guy who wiped out mankind in the flood) is the bad guy. And Satan is truly the angel of light. Something to think about...

Something to think about...

So this quest for knowledge is inherently satanic then? Spoken like a true Christian.

Nice gif...no doubt posted in the frustration of not being able to debate effectively.
