The Bible elevated the command to genocide other nations given to Israel by their god of war in an another era, and turned it into a kind of worldwide belief that genociding the “other” was a righteous act, instead of simply tribal warfare and supremacy along ethnic or territorial lines.
A lot of “satanic” people kept the exact same belief structure and just attached new names and faces to the beings.
Once the belief you must destroy or be destroyed yourself has set in, reason and rationality fly out of the window. Especially when you believe Authority in the form of “the” God has greenlighted it:
I think it’s just a title and archetype people go roiund looking to attach to various beings, and then the belief factor of magick kicks in and makes it seem real.
if you convinced yourself you were being followed by tall women in pink shoes, eventually you’d start to notice them, and they’d act weird around you.
IMO same reason why a person can’t simultaneously travel to Morocco and Manhattan, they are about destination.
