Ok, I've viewed the videos on pagan symbolism and the historical origins of Satan and I agree, both a real eye-opener. Particularly harrowing is the comment made by the US Military officer who led the siege on Fallujah in 2004: "Our enemy is Satan." Slightly surprised that particular piece of goofball idiocy was allowed into the public domain actually, but there you go.

Would like to see the Joseph Campbell piece too. All good stuff so far, many thanks.

The Power of Myth - Joseph Campbell talks to Bill Moyers. It was an 8 x 1 hr part series based on one of his books. I managed to find it on youtube but it is in like 54 clips. So, here is the start of the series. All the rest are there too on the page.......

For people considering Satan as NOT invented, bound to some aeternal hell, and considered as bad, they say his best trick is to let know he doesn't exist.

Cheap reverse psychology, apologists for the Satan myth are bound to say that. And note the circularity of their stand too: "Satan is Evil. I sense Evil. Therefore Satan is real."

I strongly recommend the videos posted in 67 and 89, the historical record speaks for itself...

+1 ty for J. Campbell work I discovered, saved yesterday on office Rinpoche 12 too. Top stuff on monomyth source of many tales and legends, heroes. intuitevely I founded they obeyd more or less on the same scheme pattern, I know why now. 5*. ty. I just discover all that, now. 64'.

I red wiki. on Moyers, whaoo! key role in Johnson election with ad "Daisy". Containtment, yes, mutual destruction assured, no! Cold war , intense; Incredible, in my country no one should use these kind of comm. in 1965. TV submitted news to de Gaulle nominating all journalists; children in ads were prohibited. He would have made an heartattack when lookin' at such kind of msg. Dallas in Washington: War against Abramoff 43 months in jail, 

You'll be a legend here too.Wink if not yet done, Nik. I mean it, when reading OP and u, we learn deeper than ever.

So OP thinks Satan could be invented even if God didn't exist ? kinda "yang" with not "ying", absolut power on one "being", or am I wrong ? sincerely yours, friend

Personally, I think God and Satan are both invented.

ty Personnaly I'm not far from Pastafarian, so much humour in it. All religions have funny hat, catholic pope 3 different, rabbi 2 or three, Chief of anglicanism* hats too, Imam and ayatollah too, (sun there); people having funny hat cannot be totally right, I guess.

*to hurt nobody, i don't reveal she is in charge of important things in politics I guess. Few people know that double job in France, really. I won bets about that subject. here State and religions are so separated in minds since 1905, no one cannot even imagine what a theocracy could be, for the moment.

Indeed I did. Woke up this morning with the first line in my head, and I had the whole thing down in about 20 minutes, musical arrangement too.

A new ship Ghosty? Setting sail for different waters? Your avatar I mean. 

Yes, I thought it was very good, it may not be to Mexi's liking however. Too challenging probably.
