Your bullet points from 19th century philosophy bear an uncanny similarity to a satanism flier posted outside the dorm room of a kid I went to college with. I shouldn't be surprised, should I?

THanks for that insight, Mark, esp re the 19th century--I'll be sharing that with my teens!
God bless your work.

[T]he very first word about the human creature is the Word Who became flesh ... [T]he story is Love and the final word is Glory."

That's glorious indeed. Thank you for giving me a new quote for my e-mail signature, Mark!

Hmm. By any chance, has Mark--or anyone else here, for that matter--ever read, or heard of, John Ralston Saul's "The Unconscious Civilization"? He too saw Satan as the "hero" of the Genesis story, and he declared that all writers and thinker ought to think of themselves as "snakes."
