Pity. Considering Gothic Satanism/Diabloism is a very recent addition to sects, and is nothing but a sect, as any scriptures you will find about apparent 'Satanism' from the middleages is just the work of a paranoid christian.
Satanism never meant devilworship. Satan means 'opposer' or 'arch fiend' or something along those lines, and that's where the word "Satanism" comes from.

That works, okay. But didn't the Xian god apparently make the universe? (yes, it's a question, not a statement)

I can't be bothered to find an actual quote, but I'm szure Genesis said something about God creating "Earth, the Heavens, the Sun and the Moon". This just goes to show that the people who wrote the Bible didn't actually know about the Universe, and so just assumed that the Earth was the centre of everything, with the Sun and the Moon and those tiny specks of grit that stars appear to be just orbiting around it...
I rambled a bit there - what I meant was that God was created as creator of Earth, because people didn't know about the Universe. I don't know what the official Christian stance is now... Likely they just avoid the question, like the avoid all the others...

Danny! I don't believe it. Something we agree on. *l* (probably for different reasons, though).

*puzzled look* So far, the only thing we've disagreed on was Economics, wasn't it?
