If Set was the Egyptian god of death, why is he regarded as evil?  Death isn't 
that bad of a thing.  It sounds like Christian and other Western influence on 
a good name to me.  Yes, I knoe the Egyptians feared him, but why would they? 
 I though they looked forward to the afterlife...

I'm in the midst of a "catch-up-on-old-offline-mail-packets" sweep...thus the

I wish I could share your optimism.  However, the witch-hunt/evil conspiracy
mentality is something I don't see disappearing.  Even if the overt target (in
this case, "Evil Satanic Conspiracies") changes, the phenomenon seems to be
a rather doggededly persistant part of our history.  From the Romans accusing
the early Christians of cannibalism, to the Christians accusing the Jews of
cannibalism, to the so-called Burning Times, to the charges against the
Templars, to the McCarthy-era Red Scare, to Waco, to Bob Larson--I don't see
scapegoating disappearing anytime soon.  
In fact, I'm not even all that optimistic that scapegoating of "Satanists" will
disappear anytime soon.  Three cheers for Millenialism (sp?), eh?
