so we have heard how some ppl picture YHVH and Immanuel
my question is: how do you picture Shiatan aka: The Adversary, Alias: Satan also known as The Devil.
pls try to use your own words and not quote entire passages of the bible but, if you must go ahead..
You can also use any of your prominent evil adversaries of whatever religion or myth you know or believe in. it does not have to be a judeo based religion.

You know i have a nice story (theory) about the man downstairs.
God Creates us to be his slaves, he imprisons our souls in mortal bodies that decay and rot from the moment they are born, but he imprints his instructions on our very minds. And they say if we live a life of servitude, call him our master, embrace him as our father and lord then when our bodies finally die, he shall let our souls into paradise. In the meantime however we get put through our paces, love/loss/heartbreak/doubt/anger/confusion...and in this, a merciful being born of fire in gods kingdom called the 'Morning Star' (for he brings with him enlightenment - ive always thought it was a good reason for the name) see's this injustice, sees us born into slavery not given a choice, and so speaks up, speaks to Eve, tells her she has freewill, tells her it is Her life to live, and she can live it however she likes.
Humans wake up and freewill is born, God looses alot of slaves and a lot of respect, so he has but one option. Cast out the Morning Star, snatch the light away from man and plunge us back into the unknowing darkness of doubt..and maybe, just maybe with enough influence or..or..a book of commands -THE WORD OF GOD - he can convince the ENTIRE WORLD OF MEN that Lucifer - the bringer of light - is evil and thus, he has his worship again.
makes about as much sense as anything else you find in the bible, and i happen to like my version alot. People with power want 1 thing..More Power.
Satan is the royal knight who couldnt stand to serve a corrupt king and so freed his slaves from the dungeons, and tried to bring about an uprising, but he coul only convince a few, far too few to win the war, and thus slavery and small mindedness and religion - men of sheep and lemmings - was the result.

sooooo.... i usually like the cool aloft looking business dressed man with the evil smile and piercing eyes. but, i dont think his demeanor is actually evil and serious but more of a laid back crack some wise type of guy..
kinda like the Devil from Reapers:
by the way i also like the song sympathy for the devil song.
I'm not really sure, but mindship, that is one creepy picture.
Personally, I don't think we need to imagine hideous creatures. We're quite capable of all evil imaginable. Shaitan hasn't got anything on humans in terms of torture, maliciousness, injustice and evil-doing.

see shiatan every day when i wake up and look in the mirror to put my contacts in. face it we all do evil things at times and he is the root of it. he is in me you and everyone else. it comes down to you if you let him win or you let yourself win. fight evil everyday and we just blame others for it not right at all. once you good on the inside. you good everywhere else
IIRC, in Interview with the Vampire, Lestat says to Louis something similar, something like, "It's no wonder mortals don't believe in us: you don't need to -- look what you do to yourselves."
