Maybe give some free advice about: What does it mean??
a satanist worships satan rather than ask questions about him. you are purley curious about this particular aspect of your faith.

No one but yourself can answer this, people must believe what they need to get through life, that is why we have so many beliefs out there. Get to the truth dear girl and you are still only at your truth. Create your truth, but understand that it is your truth and you should not hold others to your truth. We all have our own God and none of us are wrong. Get to your place where you can accept your God. Be well.

Not at all, you're just being logical. And that's something you won't help. I used to be a catholic as well and ended up not being it anymore. Sometimes the very system of the church pretends to make us believe in everything we're told by them. And they do not give us the chance to question anything. We're 'thinking beings'; and as such, we have the privilege and the need to find logical conclusions to practically all things. The thing is that whenever we do so, 'we are not having faith'. The bible instructs us to believe without seeing. But that is, in my opinion, quite convenient. So don't feel bad about your thoughts. That doesn't make you a satanist, heretic or pagan or whatever.

Not having any religious conviction myself I may not have the answer you're looking for. But I know the story...Lucifer the brightest and best...envied God...became personification of evil...etc. What you're doing here is 'empathising'. You see that what he did is wrong, but you're trying to put yourself in his place and understand why he did it. It must be hard going from 'hero to zero'...he must have felt hurt...wanted revenege, wanted to pull down the establishment. Can't give the religious angle on this, but in the humanitarian sense empathy is a good thing. Not blindly judging the situation from your own perspective but trying to see it from the other persons side, looking for reasons and no simply heaping out blame & condemnation. And to a 'worldly' person like me, that makes you a very GOOD person indeed...and not evil in the slightest. Empathy is not the same as sympathy. I don't personally see why a woman of faith couldn't empathise with the devil without breaking her religious doctrine. Any help mate??

Hehehe Sorry about this long answer, but ...yeah:
NOOOOO--- It doesnt make you evil at all! Have you ever murdered someone just cus you can? I hope not, because that would be considered evil!
THinking about it It doesnt make you a satanist, either. Its okay to question religion, its okay to have that point of view! In fact, i see what you mean!
My mother teaches RE and has told me about Satanism. SOME , just SOME, of the stuff they belive in [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
such as being an individual, and not bragging, makes total sense, right? Infact, a lot of people would argee, but they arent satanists!
I agree with some of the things Hinduism teaches, but Im not Hindu~
If anything, this just shows youre intelligent. Like you said, He was gods faveourite, he was an angel before- and I think in one part of the bible, he chose to leave, and go against god? And if god is omnibelovent, divine and forgiving as people belive him to be, surely he would forgive even the devil himself?
Some folks say that the devil isnt a person, but a representation of evil- catholics do confessions- to be forgiven for sin.
Anyways, dont worry, to sum it up, youre not evil, youre just using your brain- god gave it to you to think didnt he? :D
