Can you summarize why satanism makes sense?

I remember a few months ago, I saw a quote about satanism, and it totally blew my mind, and made it sound like the most rational philosophy of all time. (except Buddhism )
Does anyone know a quote like this? Can anyone explain to me, why satan makes more sense than god does.
I remember it being along the lines of, god kills way more than the devil. the devil accepts humans for who/what they are.

Satan is a red guy with a 6-pack and a pointy tail who hates you
God (in the most popular religions) is a holy character who is all knowing and strikes down people who don't agree with him, but he loves you and if you do everything right he might not burn you in hell... but he loves you (and so does his zombie son)
Which one sounds more likely, a freak who hates you or... a biblical god?

Satan in the context of the era when the bible was SUPPOSEDLY written tells us that satan actually means "opposer". This all makes sense if I give you the context of how the bible portrays "Satan".
During the era of Jesus' time there existed a just a few very powerful empires. Egypt on Africa, Persian influence over the middle east, and Rome in Europe. Rome was the most dominant of the empires existing and competing for power in this era. Eventually Rome got to the banks of where the children of Israel resided. No matter how powerful the children of Israel's god was, Rome was a force not to be reckoned with. The time when Rome came around to Israel in those days was actually between 100 BC-100 AD. Scholars have since proven (even christian ones) that the number of the beast(666) actually represents Rome in the way Hebrew letters translate to numbers and creates codes. A ton of the Jewish and "About-to-break from Jewish Tradition" (Jesus and Christians) people were writing very apocalyptic filled scripts which obviously would have had huge influence on the bible and Jesus' teachings recorded.
So to basically answer your question: Satan or "the beast" most likely was just a coded message to gather people to bring Rome to the ground. Satan has simply just been used to represent negative things that happen based on the idea of how Rome was grasping the world by its military. Besides, the bible is simply a monotheistic rendition of earlier Sumerian/Assyrian/Babylonian texts. For people to think that entire sophisticated civilizations which taught us math, law, business, etc. just fabricated "myths" for entertainment are absolutely blinded by ignorance. We are simply ants in this universe and I can almost guarantee there are beings so sophisticated as to be able to manipulate DNA to not only benefit themselves but the reality around them. We all have the ability to tap into the "darkness which everything comes from."

Sorry I don't know the history of satanism and stuff, but all I'm saying is compared to a christian, muslim, etcetera god, a satan-demon-monster just seems a little bit more preferable/believable
I realize that's not what you meant though, I just flat out don't understand the philosophy aspect of satanism n stuff...

I understand paganism but i went to a satanic cult meeting just for the hell of it and it creeped me out sorta how normal they made it out to seem like how they preach to it but i expected to see goth type people but there were totally normal citizens. like the kinda people you go to work with. Just about all religion is the same shit to me. not my thing

Satanism doesn't entail any of this nonsense.

Oh yeah, my bad, I forget that people haven't seen this amazingly clear description of it that I saw.
If I find it, I will definitely post it here. It might blow some minds.

“We don't worship Satan, we worship ourselves using the metaphorical representation of the qualities of Satan. Satan is the name used by Judeo-Christians for that force of individuality and pride within us. But the force itself has been called by many names.We embrace Christian myths of Satan and Lucifer, along with Satanic renderings in Greek, Roman, Islamic, Sumerian, Syrian, Phrygian, Egyptian, Chinese or Hindu mythologies, to name but a few. We are not limited to one deity, but encompass all the expressions of the accuser or the one who advocates free thought and rational alternatives by whatever name he is called in a particular time and land. It so happens that we are living in a culture that is predominantly Judeo-Christian, so we emphasize Satan. If we were living in Roman times, the central figure, perhaps the title of our religion, would be different. But the name would be expressing and communicating the same thing. It's all context.”

Yeah, I was under the understanding that satanism is more about the ideal that we are god, and ww have the power to change our own destinies. kind of more like a seperation from religion and self.

Look up hedonism.... self indulgence... although not necessarily selfish, you can certainly be as selfish as you wish.
True freedom.... what do your rules mean to me? Nothing...
But yeah, I don't get into the whole satanism thing. Its just a weird thing to call yourself IMO.

To worship yourself and not believe in Satan is in effect what Satan wants. To do so also makes you a Christian, just a bad one.
