WOW! It sure seems like things have been going far off into no where. I couldn't read everything, but I will post about what I know.
From my perspective, there is no difference between God/Yehweh(sp?)/Lord and Satan.
Now I know that a good while back a fellow by the name of Amenhotep IV changed his name to Akhenaton and moved the capitol city of Egypt to a new city (Akhetaton) to get rid of the polytheistic worship and focus worship on one god (the sun god). This "god" was actually the very sun itself.
He was of course assasinated, as presumably was his heir (Tutankhaton = Tutankamen).
I believe there is a verse in the Bible with similarities to a worship he put on a temple to the sun (called the Aten (sun disk)).
As for Satan. I read this:
The Sons of Snakes
quote:
"'...they took with them a caricature of Set: 'Satan' (from the hieroglyphic Set-hen, one of the god's formal titles).'
