    Um…. wonder what they really meant?

  2. Ashlyn says:

    I thought we all knew that Satan is a man, because God is a woman! rofl

  3. doog hat jon says:

    ever wonder if dyslexic evangelicals are tempted by Santa?

  4. THIRD!!! says:

    sixth!!

  5. Rick B. says:

    Now things make sense: satan is a woman which is why she can tempt men so easily into doing dastardly deeds. Just like bedazzled.

  6. Milly says:

    Move over Hello Kitty!

  7. FC says:

    I knew Satan was the good guy. God is the evil one, fact.

  8. pietro says:

    make satan not war

  9. John says:

    Alright! We finally get the recognition we deserve!! (Even if it is only on a Japanese girl’s notebook.) Hail Lovely Satan.

  10. Boogawooga says:

    Satan :D

  11. Selkhit says:

    Satan is so pretty and flowery. Awwwww!

  12. chez says:

    Magnificent satan? Any relation to that Great Satan the president of Iran talks about?

  13. Jamieteevee says:

    There is that vegan food-like product called saytan. I wouldn’t call it “lovely”, in fact I vomited a little in the back of my throat when I tasted it, but, maybe that was what they are referring to. ‘Being nice to animals is lovely” even if the foood sometimes tastes like feces.

  14. adam antichrist says:

    its spelled seitan

    and foood is spelled food

    and feces is spelled faeces

    can you spell fail?

  15. Psychedelic says:

    Sure it’s not SATIN that’s meant? Or Santa. A female Santa — cool concept. Of course, so is a female Satan!

  16. research says:

    Satan was a the pagan godess, there is nothing evil about her, but when the catholic church heard of a religion who had a godess instead of a god, they told everyone it was evil.

    yes, that is correct. Satan is not the devil, she is merely a godess, that goes along with 666 and the pentagram, all signs of her, nothing evil.

    • Psychedelic says:

      Um…I’m sorry…but I’m Pagan and I’ve never heard such a load in my life! The term “Satan” comes from the Islam “Sheitan”, meaning “an adversary”. Pagan belief HAS no “Satan” in it. The pentagram or pentacle, in Wiccan belief, is a symbol for the five “elements”: Earth, Air, Fire, Water, and Spirit. Not all Pagans are Wiccan (hence, not all Pagans utilize the pentacle/pentagram symbol). Wherever “666″ came from, whether the Quabalah or Mideval superstition or Damien Omen II, it is most certainly NOT Pagan in origin.

      • ethana2 says:

        history of religion fail

      • WeaselStompingDay says:

        Thanks, Psychedelic!

        I thought something was amiss with research’s… uh research.

      • 7Hz says:

        Actually “666″ comes from the bible and relates to the fact that hebrew glyphs have number meanings as well as word and letter meanings but “666″ is actually a mistranslation that has been supported for so long that we all accept it. The real “number of the beast” is 616 – look it up!

        • fourcrows says:

          WOW! 616 is the area code for Grand Rapids, Michigan! Is that where Satan lives? Of course, Hell, Michigan’s area code is 734, so maybe the beast has moved since the book of Revelations was written…

        • Narcil says:

          Not quite right. In some early Latin manuscripts the “number of the beast” is translated as 616. However, in the Greek manuscripts, which the Latin was certainly translated from, the number is 666 (that’s six-hundred and sixty six, not six, six, six). There are some good reasons for the difference, all very interesting for amateur students of textual transmission, but would probably be tedious on this site.

        • Psychedelic says:

          Thanks, 7Hz — I had no idea! Hebrew is a really cool language, also — different meanings can be made from a single word, depending upon the consonants one chooses to use.

        • TonyD_79 says:

          Well, brother, you just wrote the number of death: 616. I will tell you why: 6+1+6 = 13 = 1+3 = 4. In many countries this is the number of death. That is why this is the number of the beast. See? The beast is not Satan, it is death.
          666 is the number of man. 6+6+6 = 18 = 1+8 = 9. Believe me, 9 in numerology is the number of man. That is the same number of Christ, which is life. He was born august 21 of the year minus 7. He was killed april 7 of the year 30, and he resurrected on april 9 of the year 30, about 36 hours after his death. See? We have the number 9 again: 3+6 is 9… And you can make lots of sums and find that 9 is the number of man…, wait!! But didn’t Christ proclaimed himslef the Son of Man!!!

          BTW, and to return to what really mattered -yeah, the japanese translations-. I have seen some japanese series and the translations are always stupid and make no sense. Kind of like US does when translating movies to english, from another country. But we have always been lazy, so unless the movie is really good, we do not import it to our country.
          But the asians do make really bad translations. They should study grammar and spelling….

      • Savannah says:

        I’m Pagan, too. Satan has nothing to do with Paganism. Satan’s a christian creation.

        • Deacon Blues says:

          The name Satan is indeed related to the Islamic Shaitan, and has, in Hebrew, the same meaning. The concept in ancient Israel was of an official (or, since they were discussing Yahweh, an angel) whose job is to poke at something, and try to find the flaws. The Adversary’s two original mentions were in the book of Genesis, in which he tried to prove that humans were too imperfect to be worthy of Yahweh’s favor, and Job, in which he tried to prove that even Yahweh’s favorit, Job, would abandon his Lord if sufficiently provoked. (He won the first one, but lost the second.)

          It wasn’t until the New Testament that the Adversary was promoted to a sort of counter-God position, and given the realm of Hell (related to the Hebraic Sheol, but named for the Nordic Hel) to rule.

          I believe that Psychedelic’s confusion may stem from there – the realm of Hel, the domain of Nordic men who had died in cowardly fashion, as well as that of dead women and children (who were not allowed to earn Valhalla), was ruled by a female deity, also named Hel.

          • Psychedelic says:

            Let me get this straight…Satan was God’s QA/QC Manager???????!!! I love that! I forgot about the Goddess Hel, but what can I say, I’m an Hellenic Reconstructionist. All I really know about Hell is that you can see it from Sparks, Nevada (bad joke: In this part of Nevada we’re so close to Hell you can see Sparks.) Bad drumroll, please…

          • Guess Again says:

            they can us the crimson tide…
            they call me deaaaaacon bluuuuuuue….deaaaaacon bluuuuuuue…..

            that damn song gets stuck in my head all the time LOL…

    • KaBooM says:

      You read too many damn Dan Brown books…

    • The L says:

      Paganism research FAIL!!

      Satan was the Hebrew “angel of the test.”

    • Druthulhu says:

      The word “satan” comes from “shaitan” which is an ancient semetic word for “adversary”. While many of the old Pagan gods have been demonized by the Christian church and other schools of Abrahamic monotheism, I can not find any reference to “Satan” being used as a proper name for any of them. Also, “666″ is the numerical total for the “seal of the sun”, the sum of the numbers from 1 to (6 squared).

      If you can link to ANYTHING that academically supports the idea that “Satan” was the name of an old Pagan goddess, please do so here.

  17. Nukey says:

    Satan is lovely! He (or she) is my lord and master.

    Apparently he likes pink.

  18. Leanan says:

    I think this is how it happened:

    Japanese designer: what’s the word, not god, the other one?
    English-speaking person: Satan?

    While actually the word the designer was looking for was goddess…

  19. cannon-rock says:

    I think An looks lovely sat down, and sat An brings us love from time to time. That’s why we are all fascinated by her!

  20. cybely says:

    I would totally buy that.

  21. M. says:

    I guess the devil *does* wear Prada.

  22. FashionSquad says:

    Satan is now categorized as F-A-B-U-L-O-U-S

  23. Psychedelic says:

    Wow, did the monks in the Middle Ages ever get your avatar wrong — they made you out to be red, and without the funky John Lennon sunglasses.

  24. braeduin says:

    I knew a girl from Armenia called Satan.

  25. Apparently Satan likes pink…

  26. madcowyup says:

  27. Here4tehlulz says:
