I don't want to sound strange, but what is the story (mythos) of Satan? I have checked the JOS website, and all they say is that the origin of Satanism comes from the far east, but it doesn't go directly into his story or what there was to be expected of his people.
I have learned lately that Religion is defined as a set of beliefs, social structures and practices based on peoples experience and understanding of the world, which helps them with their moral, political needs, and understanding of the world. Which that thesis alone can be unpacked into 8 different topics and described further, but for the time being, I'll make this short by asking and redirecting to the question above.
What is his story? I'm very much a believer, but when people go to ask me "How is Satanism a real religion? You claim so much, and have so little to back it up on." And trust me, I've read plenty on the JOS website, and I've noticed with little that the site has credited in research, and the topics they truly address.
Mythology/Mythos is the greek word for stories. That's all the word means, it doesn't mean that it's a lie, or scientific/logical at all. It's just a story. I am wondering what Satan's is, and since no one will tell me, I'm asking the community to pitch in what they really know. Please site if you have read it from another book, a website with legit citations or people who you have met in real life who you look up to and understand.
I know that the AlJilwah says his story, but I'm uncertain about it. Maybe I'm just uneducated in ancient text, but please tell me how old it is, how are the world/humans created by him?
I'm going to guess that it's Creation by Immination, which is creation out of the big guy himself, made from his very being and like that, things are created. Unlike Creation by Battle, Pro-creation, or other.
I'd contact the clergy themselves, but they are too busy for many, so please help. I'm sorry if this is too long, but I want to make sure I have my grounds before I continue with this, and tell people of my understanding.
Again, the story/myth doesn't have to make sense, but I want to know what his is...
