Such a belief is not even condoned. There is much confusion as to the identity of Satan. Even amongst those professing to wear His symbol and walk His path. We will pay particular attention to three names that He is known by: Enki, Baal and Moloch It must be understood that the term Baal is titular in its usage more so than a name for a specific god. As "Baal" means "Lord". It is also clear that the Sumerian god Enki (EN.KI) was variously known as Enki the Wise, Lord of the Earth and simply Lord. As His name is composed of two parts, EN meaning "Lord" and KI meaning "Earth". It is because of this that we find one of the largest mistakes of the Book of Genesis of the Christians, presenting the "Lord God" and the Lord as the same entity. Note that this is a problem amongst a people who believe that any use of the words "lord" or "god" refer specifically to one god (i.e., their god) - it is a monotheistic problem. Just as Satanists are derailed in their search for the many incarnations of the Prince of Darkness in history when they find a god who slaughters humans and children and calls down war and pestilence upon man, they mistakenly believe the god to be yet another incarnation of Satan. In such cases Satanists are going off the misperception that Satan can be found by the attributes bestowed upon Him by the Christians - i.e., the endorsement of horrible actions by a deity must mean that the deity is a devil, in the sense of being akin to the Devil - just as the Christians believe that the term "Lord" as it is used in the Bible must always refer to their god. The idea that Satan is an evil spirit to begin with is a Christian concept, not a Satanic one. However, there are pseudo-Satanists who buy into the religion of Satanism because they think it is a simple inversion of Christianity. Such people derive some twisted pleasure from acting in such a way that would please the Christian version of Satan. Those people aren't Satanists, they are Christians in the sense that they haven't detached themselves from the Christian reality tunnel. Remember that the enemy of humans - the one who calls for our blind unquestioning obedience; the one who commands the death of little children among other crimes, is the Christian god! (Hosea 9:11-16, Ezekiel 9:5-7, Exodus 12:29-30, Jeremiah 51:20-26, Leviticus 26:21-22, Isaiah 13:15-18, Numbers 31:17, Deuteronomy 2:34, Deuteronomy 28:53, I Samuel 15:3, 2 Kings 8:12, 2 Kings 15:16, Lamentations 2:20, Hosea 13:16) "If even then you remain hostile toward me and refuse to obey, I will inflict you with seven more disasters for your sins. I will release wild animals that will kill your children and destroy your cattle, so your numbers will dwindle and your roads will be deserted." - Leviticus 26:21-22 We call our brothers and sisters of the Ophidian Current to understand what it means when you invert the human-hating Christian god. It must be clear - it is absolutely imperative for those who wear the inverted pentagram - that if you are to seek out the Devil you would be looking for the champion of human freedom, an enemy of war and the purveyor of love. The idea that Satan represents war, destruction, blind-hate, torture, pain, all things horrid or other such unenlightened action, must be abandoned immediately. Only in ridding oneself of such Christian based programming will the identity of the Devil and the purpose for which His religion exists become clear. Open your Christian Bible to chapter one of the Book of Genesis and you will see that the Christian god is referred to as the "Lord God" up until chapter four (and then afterward), whereupon he is suddenly referred to simply as the "Lord". This is because chapter four - the story of Cain & Abel - is not a story about the Christian god's interaction with Cain but a story of the Lord's interaction with him. The "Lord" is the entity that we today refer to as Satan. It then makes sense why the "Lord," in the story of Cain & Abel, rewards Cain (after presumably killing his brother) with a mark of protection and the promise to exact revenge on anyone who slays Cain. "And the LORD said unto him, Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. And the LORD set a mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him. - Genesis, 4:15 The idea that Cain "slew" Abel itself is based on a gross mistranslation of the word "yaqam", which simply relates to a person's social status or their standing in relation to another person. In the original story, from which the tale of Cain & Abel is based and horribly mistranslated, Qayin (Cain) is granted Kingship (Kain-ship) while his brother Hevel (Abel) is overlooked by the "Lord". So granted by birthright, Qayin was the product of the Lord's mating with Ava (Eve). Therefore the bloodline of Qayin is literally the bloodline of Satan. Notice that when Adam's offspring are listed in chapter five of Genesis, Cain is not mentioned. Also pay particular attention to what Eve states at the front of chapter four. It is none other than the Lord that "helps" her conceive the child Cain. "I have gotten a man with the help of the LORD." - Genesis 4:1 The "Lord", who is Enki, was the enemy of Enlil - the El Elyon, or El Shaddai - who is, upon translation, known as the "Lofty Mountain". As we trace the evolution of the Sumerian storm god Enlil through ancient civilizations we find a skyward god transforming into the storm god Set of the Egyptians, the thunderous storm god Zeus of the Greeks, the blood-thirsty Tezcatlipoca of the Aztecs and Moloch of the Phoenicians and Canaanites (who demanded the death of first-born children just like the god of the Christians - Exodus 12:29-30), among others. We then find the same attributes within the gods of the Christians, Muslims and Jews. Which is to say that the skyward gods Jehovah, Allah and Yahweh are the product the transformation of one human-hating storm god to another, and then another, etc. Yet it is not so simple as looking for a god that is associated with storms or the heavens and then pegging him as an earlier version of the Christian god. Indeed, the web is woven much more chaotically than that. "In Anunnaki culture the female was the source of sovereignty and by rights Enki or Samael (Satan) was therefore the rightful heir to his father Anu, king of the Anunnaki or gods. Enlil disputed this claim and furthermore resented Enki's patronage and assistance of mankind, whom Enlil (Jehovah-Zeus) hated and wished constantly to destroy. This story is repeated in the Greek tale of Zeus' hatred of mankind and the war for supremacy and control of man waged between the elder gods, the Titans, led by Prometheus; and the younger gods, the Olympians, led by Zeus." - Prince Nicholas De Vere Given that the book of Genesis is a pathetic mistranslation of Sumerian mythos one will find that the Serpent actually was "pro-human" insofar as His origins as the Sumerian god Enki (the Babylonian Ea). So where we initially have a god who is associated with serpents (Enki); who attempts to liberate or elevate man to the status of godhood, while at least freeing man from physical and spiritual bondage of a sky god - we now see Him (Enki) later incarnated as the enemy of mankind. In Sumerian myth the god Enki (associated with the serpent, snake, wisdom, life and agriculture) took part in the creation of mankind for the purpose of creating a slave species to serve the Grand Assembly of the Anunnaki. Enki later decided that man should be as the gods; spiritually free and enlightened beings. His half-brother however, Enlil (associated with the sky and storms), thought that man should be kept as an ignorant slave whose only purpose would be to serve the gods. What followed is Enki warring against His brother Enlil. One Sumerian story illustrates that Enlil knew a flood was coming that would destroy much of humanity but he kept his knowledge of it secret so that man could be wiped out. Fortunately, Enki found out about the forthcoming flood and warned Ziusudra (the Akkadian Utnapishtim, and biblical Noah) and instructed him on how to survive the flood. The story of Zeus and Prometheus reflects Genesis as well. It was Prometheus who decided to give man the knowledge of fire and Zeus that demanded that man be kept ignorant. Moreover, it is Zeus who sends a flood against the Titans in an attempt to squash the resistance led by Prometheus - the resistance to human enslavement which marched against the throne of the human-hating sky god Zeus. Prometheus instructs Deucalion to build an ark and put everything in that is necessary for his survival and that of his wife Pyrrha. When we finally arrive at the Christian tale of the story of the flood we find that monotheistic problem once again. The same being who sends the flood against mankind is the one who saves mankind! It is clear that one god (the storm god) tries to cull humanity and another god (the serpent god) attempts to save our race from total annihilation. So you now understand that if the Devil exists He is clearly the champion of human life and freedom. The horrible associations that Satan carries are a product of the Christian and Right-Hand Path propaganda machines. As William Bramley illustrated in his book The Gods of Eden: "The Bible informs us that the serpent in the Garden of Eden was overcome before it was able to complete its mission and give Adam and Eve the "fruit" from the second "tree." Ea (who was also symbolized as a snake) was banished to Earth and was extensively villainized by his opponents to ensure that he could never again secure a widespread following among human beings. Ea's title was changed from "Prince of Earth" to "Prince of Darkness." He was labeled other horrible epithets: Satan, the Devil, Evil Incarnate, Monarch of Hell, Lord of Vermin, Prince of Liars, and more. He was portrayed as the mortal enemy of a Supreme Being and as the keeper of Hell. People were taught that his only intentions were to spiritually enslave everyone and that everything bad on Earth was caused by him. Humans were encouraged to detect him in all his future lives ("incarnations") and to destroy him and his creations whenever he was discovered. All beliefs and practices named after his various appellations ("Satanism," "Devil Worship," etc.) were to be made so horrific and degrading that no right-thinking person would (or should) have anything to do with them. He and his followers were to be viewed with nothing but the utmost loathing." The Gods of Eden by William Bramley (page 55, "Brotherhood of the Snake") We know that Enki/Satan is referred to as Baal because it means "Lord". Yet Baal is associated with Moloch who is a human-hating god that stands for the sacrifice of children. Referencing earlier quotes from the Christian Bible concerning the Christian god's love for the killing of children, it should be clear that Moloch should be more accurately associated with Jehovah, Allah, Yahweh than the "Lord" (Satan).
