WHen I first came up with my user name way back at the gaming forum which was the first forum I ever joined, I needed a cool-sounding name that wasn't also taken by some other douchebag.
Granted it wasn't my first choice, but it works well, I think.
I came up with it because people know the devil was the angel of light (or disguises himself as one, I'm not sure) so the angel of darkness would logically be the opposite of the devil, I reasoned.
The thought of people bringing up my username in regards to Satanic connotions (and being wrong) amused me.

If today you can take a thing like evolution and make it a crime to teach in the public schools, tomorrow you can make it a crime to teach it in the private schools and next year you can make it a crime to teach it to the hustings or in the church. At the next session you may ban books and the newspapers...
Ignorance and fanaticism are ever busy and need feeding. Always feeding and gloating for more. Today it is the public school teachers; tomorrow the private. The next day the preachers and the lecturers, the magazines, the books, the newspapers. After a while, Your Honor, it is the setting of man against man and creed against creed until with flying banners and beating drums we are marching backward to the glorious ages of the sixteenth centry when bigots lighted fagots to burn the men who dared to bring any intelligence and enlightenment and culture to the human mind. ~Clarence Darrow, at the Scopes Monkey Trial, 1925
Politics is supposed to be the second-oldest profession. I have come to realize that it bears a very close resemblance to the first. ~Ronald Reagan
