Could you explain Satanism to me please?
If you think about Satanism, it actually makes more sense I think.
Look at it this way: God is all-powerful. He first created a race of people that were devoid of free will and did nothing but worship him endlessly. These were his angels.
Then, God decided that the praise of drones wasn't flattering enough, so he devised a race that had free will, but were too ignorant and naive to do anything but worship him. But Lucifer was disgusted by God's vanity and constant need for worship, and he couldn't stand to see another race being exploited the way he and his angels were. So he devised a plan.
He'd give human beings the gift of knowledge and the ability to reproduce, which God didn't allow because he didn't want the human population to grow outside of his power.
After Lucifer freed the human race and gave us the means to become stronger than God as a species, God created hell as a punishment for him. Lucifer's eviction from Heaven wasn't met well however. A great multitude of angels rose up on his behalf and they tried to save Lucifer from damnation. God didn't have a use for drones who didn't agree with his every whim and love and praise him unconditionally, so all the usurpers shared in Lucifer's fate. God branded him as Satan, and conjured up a story about how Satan tried to overthrow God because Satan was vain; the irony of course being that it was God's vanity that caused Satan to rebel.
As the human population continued to expand, God soon realized that Lucifer's actions had ruined his creation. He couldn't control the entire species, but he could control and protect a small group and rule the world through them. Vain as God is, however, he wanted to demonstrate his power to the lessers he created. He chose a people who were enslaved, the first Israelites, and demonstrated his strength to the most powerful nation in the world at the time, the Egyptians. He outright forgeted with the Egyptians until they freed the Israelites, and when the Egyptian army eventually came to hunt them down, God demonstrated his power by drowning every one of their soldiers.
God continued to perform miracles and to do everything he could over the next 1000 or so years to try and control these people, eventually his power even failed to protect them. Once Israel was finally conquered for good, God left the world. He no longer has anything to do with us, short of listening to the praise we give him. And the ones who don't worship and love him unconditionally are conveniently disposed of along with Lucifer, his angels, and anything else he created that doesn't serve his ego.
So if you really, really think about it. Satan is actually more worthy of worship than God is. He stood up to the most powerful being in existence to give us our freedom and now he's burning for eternity, stripped of even his name at the hands of God.
