Rather than Anton LaVey's satanic propositions, here are a few words from the serpent's own mouth:
Gen 3:4-5
4 "You will not surely die," the serpent said to the woman.
5 For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil." Matt 4:8-9
8 Again, the devil took Him up on an exceedingly high mountain, and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. 9 And he said to Him, "All these things I will give You if You will fall down and worship me."
NKJV He's always been good at false promises and misrepresentation. He's an angry predator, driven by bitterness, knowing that his cause is a failure and his power and planning inadequate. With nothing to gain, he strives and struggles and vents his rage. What a sad thing it would be to be driven by the same twisted motives he has. Rev 12:12
12 "Therefore rejoice, O heavens, and you who dwell in them! Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and the sea! For the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, because he knows that he has a short time."
NKJV
