"Physical satan"?! Isn't that an oxymoron! We suffer perpetually: sensation, joy, sorrow, etc. You choose your comfort range, and fight to maintain its perimeter; with any luck you get around to expanding that perimeter. The eastern notion of "hell" is educative: you expect to come back after learning to be better. The Chinese conception is rather sophisticated, with many clearly defined levels and zones. It's similar in the western conception: hell is where you "burn out" your evil desires by experiencing the desire without any experience of satisfaction. It's all about character development in the face of mastery...think about it...However, the utility of such an approach to life depends on a sense of post-lifetime continuance. And no materialist, whether styled, "satanist", or just "atheist", has this sense. I think I remember Styx's sentiments: "Worm food...that's all we are in the end". I find atheist types shallow...there's an important level of nuance simply unavailable to them...they'll never imagine that they can fold the sides of the box they're in...they feel there exists restraint from which they cannot free themselves...there's a box they can't think outside of...
