O Diabo (do latim diabolu, "demônio") é o nome dado à entidade sobrenatural, conceito originário de Satanás, da tradição judaico-cristã. É a representação do mal, não necessariamente com uma forma, mas muitas vezes associada à cor vermelha, com feição humana, mas com chifres, rabo pontiagudo e um tridente na mão, para remeter a um cetro. Muitas vezes, também, a imagem corresponde a de um ser metade humano metade bode, com o pentagrama invertido inscritos no corpo (imagem de Baphomet), embora não tenha ligação com Baphomet, que foi a imagem iniciada pela Igreja Católica

No Satanismo, Satanás (não existe Diabo) não é visto como uma entidade viva, mas sim como um símbolo de vitalidade, poder, virilidade, sexualidade e sensualidade. Satanás é visto como uma força da natureza, não uma deidade viva. O conceito a respeito de Satanás não tem nada que ver com o Inferno, demônios, tortura sádica ou o Mal.



The Devil is a title given to the supernatural entity, who, in Christianity, Islam, and other faiths, is a powerful evil entity and the tempter of humankind. In conservative Christianity, God and the Devil are usually portrayed as fighting over the souls of humans, with the Devil seeking to lure people away from God and into hell. The Devil commands a force of lesser evil spirits, commonly known as demons. The Devil is destined to be destroyed at the end of this age, but not before he has led many humans, some say the vast majority, to perdition. The Devil is commonly associated with heretics, infidels, and other unbelievers. The Hebrew Bible (or Old Testament) does not assign this level of personification to a devil, but rather identifies all good and evil as originating in the will of God.
This entity is commonly referred to by a variety of names, including Angra Mainyu, Satan, Asmodai, Beelzebub, Lucifer, Mephistopheles, or Iblis. Many other religions have a trickster or tempter figure that is similar to the Devil.
Modern conceptions of the Devil include the concept that it merely symbolizes humans' own lower nature or sinfulness.


Iblīs (Arabic إبليس), is the primary devil in Islam.


The English word devil derives via Middle English devel and Old English dēofol and Latin Diábolus, from Late Greek language Diabolos, meaning, slanderer, from diaballein, to slander: dia-, across + ballein, to hurl (scriptural loan-translation of Hebrew satan). Jerome re-introduced Satan in the Latin Bibles (and thus in the European translations that followed), and English translators have used both in different measures. In the Vulgate, as had been the Greek usage, diabolus and dæmon were distinct, but they seem to have merged semantically in English and other Germanic languages.

Hades
Hades (from Greek ᾍδης, Haidēs, originally Ἅιδης, Haidēs or Ἀΐδης, Aidēs, probably from Indo-European *n̥-wid- 'unseen'[1]) refers to both the ancient Greek underworld and the God of the Dead. The word originally (as in Homer) referred to just the god; ᾍδού, Haidou its genitive, was short for "the house of Hades". Eventually, the nominative, too, came to designate the abode of the dead.
Hades was also known as Pluto (from Greek Ploutōn), and was known by this name, as "the unseen one", or "the rich one",[citation needed] as well as Dis Pater and Orcus, in Roman mythology; the corresponding Etruscan god was Aita.
The term hades has sometimes been used in Christianity to mean the abode of the dead, where the dead would await Judgment Day either at peace or in torment. See Hades in Christianity.
