Chrissy3784, no that's not correct. The concept of Satan or an "evil god" to rival the so-called "one true god" is not originally a christian concept. There's a difference between Modern Satanism(Satan is a symbol of the inner self and desires. Modern Satanism is atheistic) and Traditional Satanism(Followers believe in Satan and worship Satan as a god). Most "Satanists" you see are Modern Satanists. Modern Satanism is a philosophy, not a religion. You should maybe read more into it and The Satanic Bible if you want to get a better understanding. Traditional Satanism is more a form of paganism. They view Satan as their god and the (monotheistic) god as the enemy. And really, in Christian mythology, Satan never does get to tell his side of the story does he? They certainly don't "believe" in christianity--at least not your side of the story.
And no, I don't believe in god, jesus, or satan or any of that other stuff, I'm an atheist. But your ignorance of the subject is letting Dimmu Borgir do exactly what they want to do--offend you.
