Theistic Satanism section, caption of the first photo: "The inverted pentagram, along with the Baphomet, is the most notable and widespread symbol of Satanism." Saying "the Baphomet" is like saying "the Satan". I think it should be "the inverted pentagram, along with Baphomet, is the most notable..."

Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. Tollens (talk) 09:00, 9 June 2024 (UTC)ReplyThis is demonstrably false, and conflicts with the numerous medieval portraits of Satan displayed on the page. Every medieval commentary on the Gospels, the Epistles, Revelation, Job and Genesis at least would mention Satan (or, the "devil").
St. Thomas Aquinas mentions of Satan:
https://aquinas.cc/la/en/~Job.C1.L2.n11 (the commentary on the Book of Job alone has 50 mentions)
https://aquinas.cc/la/en/~ST.I.Q112.A3
https://aquinas.cc/la/en/~ST.I.Q114.A4
https://aquinas.cc/la/en/~ST.I-II.Q98.A2.SC
https://aquinas.cc/la/en/~ST.II-II.Q10.A2.C
Other Medievals:
https://www.newadvent.org/fathers/120121.htm (St. Augustine)
https://franciscan-archive.org/lombardus/II-Sent.html (Peter of Lombard, and thus, all the medievalists and academics of the time who were required to write a commentary on the Sentences, would mention Satan; think of St. Bonaventure, William of Ockham, Bl. Duns Scotus, etc)
https://sacred-texts.com/chr/ans/ans117.htm https://sacred-texts.com/chr/ans/ans118.htm (St. Anselm)
There are of course many more, since Satan is a pivotal point to the entirety of Christian theology, and wasn't magically forgotten in the Medieval Era. Further, the source listed (https://books.google.com/books?id=pWYqgsRLXykC&q=Satan+and+Puritanism&pg=PA15#v=snippet&q=Satan%20and%20Puritanism&f=false) does not say or even imply that Satan had a minimal role in Medieval Christian theology, but rather his role was diverse. Further, the source is clearly incredibly bias against traditional Christianity, using classic polemics to attack Christianity, and as such I am not even sure why it is accepted as authoritative.
