Is the book entitled: "Satan Is Alive & Well" -- a book about Satanism OR a  good, religious book?

It is a good religious book written by Hal Lindsey many years ago aimed at reminding people that Satan really is alive and well on planet Earth and that we must be prepared to fight against the temptations set before us that would make us stuble and fall in our Christian walk.

Firstly don't listen to any of these fools, they don't know anything about satanism.\nIt is entirely up to you to decide whether or not satanism is for you. Don't let any one tell you what you have to believe in. Which brings up my first point you don't have to believe in satan to be a satanist or sacrifice peole or any of the misconception that satanism is somehow evil. It isn't it is about being evil or anything like that it is about being yourself.\ni reccommend that you check out the church of satan website and read the satanic bible by anton la vey(a ledgend) then decide for yourself whether satanism is for you\ngood luck

Slipknot isn't into Satanism. They are simply more or less anti-religion, or anti-Christianity in general. Now bands like Slayer use Satanism as a gimic, i.e. they are metal, rebellious, anti-religion, thus it is cool to have Satanically laced lyrics. Then there are bands like Deicide who actually contain practicing Satanists. Hence, since they are practicing their lyrics would definitely reflect that. Anyway, I hope that clears crap up.

I'm reading the book now.  It is about a supposed secret society that protected the secret that Jesus was married to Mary Magdalen and had a son.  The artist da vVnci was supposed to have been a member of that secret society, and hid clues about it in his paintings.\n\nRemember, it is a work of fiction.  Not a bad read, and makes you think, but still fiction.

wasn't it something like whether people are truly rascist in their hearts and it was dangerous to ask because you might not want to know the answer or something? its been a while since i read that book...its one of my favorites though.

If someone is imposing their will on yours, then you may kill that person.  That's how I understood it when I read the Satanic Bible.  The whole book seems to be very self-oriented; if anything offends you, get rid of it.  They are just as nuts as all the other religions.

hmmm seems intresting, how can one worship both satan and God though, seems a bit contradictory.  the "not harming children"  yes, but as for the church of satan being added to any type of Christian beliefs seems to be contradicting the Christian faith all together.

i think the bible is a good book yet fiction, religion is a money and war machine IMHO.  on the other hand people need hope and that is where many find it, we're best off never knowing

I believe that the DaVinci Code was a good book and nothing else.  What I think is really interesting is the fact that the church feels it needs to defend itself from this work of fiction.  Is the church so short of faith in its own institution that it believes a Tom Hanks movie can shake its very foundation.\n\nEvery religion is built on lies as a means to control the masses.  It is the most primitive, and resilient, form of government.  I wish the book had proven to be true, but I guess I'll just have to wait for the next scandal to get further entertainment.\n\nPray for the Revolution!

ive read a few of them. they are good books for entertainment. but of course you shouldnt believe what it says. thats just the opinion of the authors veiw of what will happen. the holy bible is the only book anyone should believe.

According to Jewish belief Satan is an angel, he was never thrown out of heaven and is not in competition with "God". According to Judaism Satan does the job assigned to him by "God", has no free will of his own and works for the ultimate benefit of humans by strengthening their faith and fortitude through adversity and temptation. Satan is not a bad guy, according to Judaism. \n\nAnd Judaism should be the authority on the subject.\n\nIf you're interested in a good book on the subject, read "The Devil: A Biography" by Peter Stanford. He describes how Satan went from an angelic messenger of God's to the villainous demon created by the Christian church to scare people to conversion.\n\nIt's incredible to me how ignorant Christians are on the subject of Satan.\n\nFrom the site http://www.faqs.org/faqs/judaism/FAQ/06-Jewish-Thought/section-36.html\n\n<The word satan means challenger. With the leading ha- to make haSatan, it refers to /the/ challenger. This describes Satan as the angel who is the embodiment of man's challenges. Satan works for G-d. His job is to make choosing good over evil enough of a challenge so that it can be a meaningful choice. Contrast this to Christianity, which sees Satan as God's opponent. In Jewish thought, the idea that there exists anything capable of setting itself up as God's opponent would be considered overly polytheistic--you are setting up the devil to be a god or demigod.>

I have the book.  I've read the book.  It is non-fiction.  It is a book about serious spiritual warfare.  I have no reason to disbelieve any of it.  I believe Rebecca's experiences are so "severe," because she had dabbled in the occult before she became a Christian.  In other words, she opened herself up to the troubles she has faced.\n\nI do not believe what you will read in this book will be a typical representation of what most Christians will face, spiritual-warfare-speaking, in their lifetimes.  But those who've been involved in witchcraft, the occult, etc. prior to becoming a Christian already have Satan's full attention.  And he does NOT like to lose a good servant.  So he tries to get them back any way he can.  Rebecca is one of those people.\n\nBe prepared for nightmares if you read the book.

its a BOOK..a FICTIONAL BOOK! Its not meant to be taken as TRUTH! I am Catholic, I know what I believe in, and I read the book. It doesn't go against the Bible, it just suggests possibilities that maybe someone in history altered the truth. Dan Brown is an incredible writer because of the fact that he can write FICTION and make people believe that it is the honest to God truth! Its a wonderful book & he NEVER says that it is the truth...he says the CHARACTERS in the book believe it is the truth! \n\n**steps off soapbox**

Satan isn't really one single being in the bible. Like black_hole_gravity said, it means "adversary" and it's more of a title than a name. Although Lucifer still is a villain in christian mythology. He did rebel against god in the story.

None of them.  The one closest to true human nature and what we are like is The Satanic Bible by Anton LeVey.  And NO I'm not a satanist!

Satan is the ruler of all earthly desires (lust, greed, power, etc.) and those people want to experience what they call "the good life" in the here and now. This as opposed to the Divine bliss that other religions are offering which can be experienced in the next lifetime.
