I don't know...see, I used to dabble in the occult a lot when I was in my teens and early twenties. I saw a distinction between full-out Church of Satan Satanists (like what I just mentioned in my prior post) and devil worshippers (which were mostly the animal slaughtering, baby-stealing, blood-drinking variety). Like I'd said, unless it's a cover-up, what I'd read said that they don't believe in anything and that is one of the reasons they feel they live their lives like there's no tomorrow, because there's this one go around and they want to live it to the fullest.

I agree with you in a way about labeling oneself something like that; at the same time, I don't think it's nonsensical because it's like the same way you could use the word "God" to just generally describe the universal life force energy. It's just putting a temporary name on something. In this case, they are using the name as what Satan represents to them, so in that sense it becomes real, but not as an actual entity in itself, I think. Something like that.
