So for example in here:
"Literally, if one has any clue, the only reason "Christianity" exists is to fight
"The Idols of Zeus, Astarte (also known as Aphrodite) (also known as
Aphrodite), the Throne of Zeus in Pergamum [called by them Zeus]", to "cast
down the idols", to "Drive away the Zeus" and so on. That's all it's there fore,
it's there only to hate what has existed prior."

It's clear that ctrl-F replace was used in these documents but whatever. I believe that it would be appropriate in certain contexts to keep the name of Satan otherwise people who read this the first time with no knowledge of the prior library or documents or Zevism's history as the Joy of Satan aren't going to understand this. No xian really thinks about "driving away Zeus" as most don't really know Zeus and Satan are the same being, besides those educated on the whole thing.
Just blindly replacing every mention of Satan with Zeus all over the place isn't the right way to go imo. I understand that is right in some cases but with historical references or when talking about enemy religions, it should be kept as Satan for the sake of context, and I know this is already done in some places like Kabbalah Exposed and others.
It has to be made clear to newcomers why the enemy used the name Satan, its origin as Satanama and the enemy's war against our spiritual evolution, otherwise newcomers who aren'r familiar with all this stuff are going to be confused when they read about xians "waging war on Zeus" without it being properly explained that this is understood as Satan. This might seem obvious to all of us who are familiar with this, but it won't be to a lot of them. Many if not most of the new people reading our sites will likely not have a good understanding of religion or the occult.

I can only assume ctrl-F replace was used here because this is referring to people who call themselves "Satanists", nobody is calling themselves Zevists outside of TOZ, so this won't make sense to people reading this who aren't familiar with all this before and haven't read the article before every instance of Satan or Satanist was blindly replaced.
"Interestingly enough, the "Zeus" title comes from Satyan or Satyam, the
Sanskrit word for Eternal Truth. The word Daemon, originally in Ancient Greek,
it means literally "God"."
The correct title here is Satan, not Zeus, since it's talking about the word Satya. This is why using ctrl-F replace isn't a good idea. I'm sure there are dozens of more examples of this all over the LOT. I do understand why this was done though, we are short in staff and this was an efficient way to replace Satan with Zeus in many places that should be done so,
On a more personal note from me, it feels like an admission of defeat in repairing the name of Satan/Satya when it was just dropped and replaced everywhere with Zeus(even in places where replacing it made no sense, like the above), almost like a pseudo-erasure of the history that we ever used that name and why we used it in the first place. I don't think that's the intention, but it kind of comes accross that way. After boldly championing the name Satan everywhere in our sites for over a decade, the reasoning for letting it go was the same argument we also counter-argued against, that it is an enemy title, which we then would say that no it was originally in its proper form a name for our God, but we let it go because it is an enemy title? This is the path TOZ chose to go so I won't argue against it but it feels more like a PR rebrand than an advancement.
Instead of keeping it there where it was approriate for the sake of history in past articles, which I think would have been the right way to do it, while putting an exclaimer in LOT that "Satan" is Zeus like it was done in Kabbalah Exposed and Islamic Evil rather than replacing Satan with Zeus all over the place as if it was always there.
Anyway, I just wanted to bring this to attention of the editors, and before anyone asks, I wouldn't mind doing it myself, if I'm allowed to.
