Why Satan?

"Why Satan?" You may have thought to yourself. Perhaps assuming this was all "just a phase," or evidence of some residual juvenescent contrarianism. In spite of my go-to rhetorical retort; "Do I look like I'm 'Just Kidding'?" You sluff it off like a vestigial tail. As if to say, "I can't be bothered by the fact that you bother me so." So, positively dismissive, you may have found that you find comfort in trite colloquialisms; "To each their own", "Live and let live", "Well, that's just like, you're opinion", and the like. And yet, it persists. 
In exactly the same way that one has trouble understanding what it means to be a product of hegemonic forces embedded withing one's cultural identity without having studied the culture of others; so as to grasp a deeper understanding of the necessity for a hermeneutical approach. One finds that what they claim to believe is nothing more then what they have been spoon-fed. Oftentimes, undigested, and regurgitated, ad nauseam.
Now, as I say to myself, "As you now say to yourself, 'Why Satan?' indeed." Do you wonder wither I'll say, "Why not?"
I will not. Rather, I too will say... "Why Satan?"
