When the Church, therefore, curses Satan, it curses the cosmic reflection of God; it anathematizes God made manifest in matter or in the objective; it maledicts God, or the ever-incomprehensible Wisdom, revealing itself as Light and Shadow, good and evil in nature, in the only manner comprehensible to the limited intellect of Man.

There is , IMO, no such thing as Satan...It is just a word....A word that the Church used to instill fear in the populace....a word that instills dread in those unfortunate enough to believe such things...but still, just a word....
