Well, I thought I would take advantage of this opportunity and treat myself a bit.” I gave an innocent shrug. I had asked for one of the biggest rooms in the hotel because I wanted to feel like a real vacation. I turned off the shower and opened the glass door, humming as I dried myself off and wrapped my hair in a towel when t heard the hotel door open and close. Schaff, D. S.

"Theistic Satanism then becomes explicable in terms of Lucifer's ambition to be the supreme god and his rebellion against Yahweh. [...] This simplistic, controntational view is modified by other theistic Satanists who do not regard their hero as evil: far from it. For them he is a freedom fighter..."

The Hebrew term śāṭān ( Hebrew: שָׂטָן) is a generic noun meaning "accuser" or "adversary", [7] [8] and is derived from a verb meaning primarily "to obstruct, oppose". [9] In the earlier biblical books, e.g. 1 Samuel 29:4, it refers to human adversaries, but in the later books, especially Job 1–2 and Zechariah 3, to a supernatural entity. [8] When used without the definite article (simply satan), it can refer to any accuser, [10] but when it is used with the definite article ( ha-satan), it usually refers specifically to the heavenly accuser, literally, the satan.

In Judaism, Satan is seen as an agent subservient to God, typically regarded as a metaphor for the yetzer hara, or "evil inclination". In Christianity and Islam, he is usually seen as a fallen angel or jinn who has rebelled against God, who nevertheless allows him temporary power over the fallen world and a host of demons. In the Quran, Shaitan, also known as Iblis, is an entity made of fire who was cast out of Heaven because he refused to bow before the newly created Adam and incites humans to sin by infecting their minds with waswās ("evil suggestions"). Post-LaVeyan Satanists, like the adherents of The Satanic Temple, argue that the human animal has a natural altruistic and communal tendency, and frame Satan as a figure of struggle against injustice and activism. They also believe in bodily autonomy, that personal beliefs should conform to science and inspire nobility, and that people should atone for their mistakes.
