What caused the allegedly fictitious biblical character commonly referred to as, 'Satan,' or the 'Devil,' to become a cinematic, pop-icon?
Why are there unconventional t-shirts, musicians, tattoo artists, directors, and cartoonists that receive such a rise and kick out of depicting this biblical character as fictitious yet as a real entity at the same time?
If other biblical or religious characters from other religions were used in similar fashions people would consider it archaic, juvenile, and psychotic at best.
What is it about the alleged essence of this specific character that has gripped the human psyche to such and extent and creates such a vast, almost real, connection with it? How can people listen to their Dimmu Borgir cd's and have romantic and heroic fantasies of Satan as a real historical figure and not more along the lines of a comic book figure etc.?
