Burn your own offerings.IDK, he doesn't seem interested in our independence, more of a grudge match with god. But..if I had to liken the medieval concept of satan to classical greek mythology I'd probably choose miasma over prometheus. I think that satan has, in recent times, been viewed more and more -as- a promethean figure, but I suspect that this has more to do with the resistance to christian asshatery than it does with the actual character itself.
I'm sure you're right. Leastwise I have no desire to find out for myself if that would involve reading the bible. I thank my lucky starts that I rid myself of religion without having read it and I don't intend to fuck with it now.
