Am I welcome to comment in this thread? The OP sounds like it, the title doesn't, and some other comments here were not quite welcoming to my kind either.
On the other hand, these comments contained some misconceptions about my religion which I would gladly point out.
I could also tell you what a fluffy-bunny is in Satanism, but after reading this whole thread I still have only a vague idea of what it is in Paganism.
But before I know whether I'm welcome here I'll just reply to another question.
Since Satanism is not bound to the Abrahamic religions, some of us find it reassuring to find other "origins" of our deity's name - however, there is no historical connection between these words, that's simply not how languages work. "sat" isn't even pronounced similarly, it's rather like "set" (don't get started on Set now, though, that's even more unlikely).
If you heathens wanna find a word in another language that is pronounced like Satan, you don't have too search that far away, just look at Old Norse, there we have the word "sátan" which is pronounced quite like in Hebrew. The problem? It means "the truss of hay"

To still your curiosity, he surely means "sat". It's a verbal root meaning "to be" (it's related to English "is"), but nominalized it means "being", "existence" and a whole bunch of other things, "truth" being among them.What word is that?A variation of the word Satan means "truth" in Sanksrit, which is an Indo-European language..
