Satanism is a Scam. It’s silly too.

Satanism is a scam. That’s because in Judaism, the Hebrew angel “Satan” (הַשָּׂטָן, ha-Satan) is not an evil rival to G-d, nor a fallen angel. In the Talmud and Tanakh, ha-Satan is a divinely appointed angelic function whose role is to test, accuse, and prosecute—always in service of G-d’s will.

All angels are always in service to the will of The L-rd.

Below is a precise, source-based explanation grounded in Tanakh, Talmud, and classical rabbinic thought.

What “Satan” Means in Hebrew

Etymology

• שָׂטָן (satan) = adversary, accuser, prosecutor, obstacle
• It is a title, not a personal name

The word appears in Tanakh to describe:

• Human adversaries (1 Kings 11:14)
• Angels acting as obstacles (Numbers 22:22)
• The heavenly prosecutor (Job 1–2)

Satanism Amounts to Worshipping an Employee of G-d

Why?
