From the moment of his first emergence as a single spark in the dimness of prehistory, to the more enlightening force into which he has evolved across the full span of human existence, Satan, as he now clearly illustrates, has been urging human beings to open their eyes to the world around them, and to continue seeking, with unfettered minds, for ultimate answers yet to be found. To do so, he has had to struggle against the persistent attempts to stifle that urge by the "spoon-feeders," as he calls them, individuals who have insisted, within every age, and often with a bloody fist, that they, and they alone, are the possessors and guardians of the ultimate beliefs that every human being should accept and live by, without question. Satan traces the history of their many attempts to stop human beings from thinking for themselves. Throughout his account, Satan also takes his readers on a search for the ultimate source of all evil in this world, a search that, once again, requires them to break away from the spoon-fed answers they have already swallowed. Readers will obviously enter the book with the standard concept of Satan being a supernatural figure of evil. They will leave the book, however, with a better understanding of how individuals create such mind-twisting concepts to keep people away from the "forbidden" knowledge that lies beyond the borders of entrenched beliefs.
