Is this a tenet of Satanism? Just asking cause not sure were you get it from.

Also the whole Satan fall story is an interesting one because is comes from a certain interpretation by Tertullian of a chapter in Ezekiel.
That the chapter is talking about Satan is not actually clear and it may infact for the most part be hogwash despite many Christians thinking it is somewhere in the bible and clear.

Without this passage it would impossible to say for sure Satan is even an angel, much less the most beautful and all that. Infact, even that passage doesn't imply that. It was kinda made up.

Satan could build whatever he wanted, do whatever he wanted, know whatever he wanted, but he wasn't God. He can't be God. He isn't God. So Satan said, "I'm gonna burn this down!"

God said, "Go ahead and try. Oh, by the way, I'm creating all these new entities that have free will just like I did. Little tiny versions of myself. Go ahead and have at 'em! Let's see if you can even beat my babies!"

And then comes the argument "Is God the greatest sadist that ever existed?" No, God is lonely. God wanted communion with us and so God did this thing.
