The Bible was Hollywood before Hollywood. Most of the time movies are more realistic than the Bible. The Bible is not the Word of God. The Bible is a compilation, and a selected one. If a person is religious, they can't trust the Church, and they can't trust a book. I find the Bible more useful than the Necronomicon, but they're both as dangerous. The Bible is something a religious person has to struggle with. The Gospels, the four included in the Bible, are as Satanic as they are Christian. The Spirit of the Jesus story is what counts. Every word, in whatever language, should be wrestled with.
As for the Satan problem: Just because the Satan myth is younger than other traditions doesn't mean it's less important. Being older doesn't make something more authentic.
