Apparently, the troll thinks that words that start with "sat" are necessarily related. By that token, "satin" must be Satan's preferred fabric. Thus, "Nights in White Satin" is the Moody Blues' ode to Satan's wardrobe. Or maybe they just left the "k" off "nights" to disguise the fact that they were really singing a prophecy of the coming of KISS (which, as we all know thanks to '70s Evangelicals, really stands for Knights in Satan's Service). Here's where we come full circle: Paul Stanley was the star child and Ace Frehley  was the space guy (obviously both from Saturn); Gene Simmons was the demon lizard guy (obviously from Hell itself); Peter Criss was the cat (we all know how much cats figure in magick). Ta-da!

Or, of course, he's just an idiot and a troll.  I'll go with the latter.

Actually you're wrong Saturn is Satan and you unknowingly worship him daily

Um, no.  But given the pic you posted of Saturn looking wonderfully like a breast, I'm willing to reconsider.

The longer this thread goes on, the creepier it gets for me.  It's as if my ex-wife has joined and decided to post her drivel.

Satan (n.)
proper name of the supreme evil spirit in Christianity, Old English Satan, from Late Latin Satan (in Vulgate in Old Testament only), from Greek Satanas, from Hebrew satan "adversary, one who plots against another," from satan "to show enmity to, oppose, plot against," from root s-t-n "one who opposes, obstructs, or acts as an adversary."


Saturn
Old English Sætern, a Roman god, also "most remote planet" (then known), from Latin Saturnus, originally a name of an Italic god of agriculture, possibly from Etruscan. Derivation from Latin serere (past participle satus) "to sow" is said to be folk-etymology.

An ancient Italic deity, popularly believed to have appeared in Italy in the reign of Janus, and to have instructed the people in agriculture, gardening, etc., thus elevating them from barbarism to social order and civilization. His reign was sung by the poets as "the golden age." [Century Dictionary]

Identified with Greek Kronos, father of Zeus. Also the alchemical name for lead (late 14c.). In Akkadian, the planet was kaiamanu, literally "constant, enduring," hence Hebrew kiyyun, Arabic and Persian kaiwan "Saturn."


The differences - learn them.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

Satan is an overbearing excess of Saturn's power

Ooook...go back to your bridge, silly troll.
Verbatim from the mouth of Jesus (retranslated from a retranslation of a copy of a copy):

"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you too will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. How can you see your brother's head up his ass when your own vision is darkened by your head being even further up your ass? How can you say to your brother, 'Get your head out of your ass,' when all the time your head is up your own ass? You hypocrite! First take your head out of your own ass, and then you will see clearly who has his head up his ass and who doesn't." Matthew 7:1-5 (also Luke 6: 41-42)

Since it labels astrology as a science, I don't think there'll be many facts to be learned there.
