I have studied the history of the Christian Devil for twenty years, and in this time one question has often struck me: why do people seem to like him? I could spend another twenty years mulling on why this is the case, but I shall attempt some brief answers in this blog. First let me offer a word of clarification.

It is only later, in the New Authentication, that Satan is referred to clearly as a serpent.
All the rage Simon R. How fun? Like, occult James Bond fun. But say you want to do it, anyway. Devils, like doctors, have specialties.
