Default I'm a little confused about Satanism?

Do they worship the Satan mention in the bible? If so, why the f**k? If you don't worship God, what's the point of worshiping anything in the bible?? You might as well worship Adam and Eve...

There are several types

The most common are the Church of Satan. They are followers of the philosophy of Anton LeVay. They don't literally believe in God or Satan, but use Satan as a symbol and to mock the religious who go against human nature. They are really atheists.

The next most common are polytheistic. They do believe in the Christian God, but feel that he is only one of many gods and that he lies about his place. They believe that Lucifer is the real creator of the Universe and the real force for good. Frankly they often use God's murderous nature in the Bible to back that up. The story in Genesis illustrates the point perfectly. God lies to keep men from the Tree of Knowledge, while Satan tells them the real deal.

Finally there are a few rebellious Christians. This is what everyone thinks, but they are quite rare. I don't even know of a current website.

Exactly, if you chose to believe in something in the bible why choose the one that's notably bad and will bring you to hell?

Kind of stupid.

If you study the Bible closely then you will see Satan has all the real power and God can do nothing to stop him. So....

Some all powerful god. Lil

No, they don't. Many Satanists are atheists, and Satan is a symbol for things like individualism, freedom, pleasure, and achievement. Theistic Satanists do worship actual beings, but their idea of Satan is considerably different from the Christian Satan. Both groups generally frown upon those few people worship ping the Christian Satan, because worship ping evil is rather, well, psychotic.

Most Satanists do not worship Satan. Most Satanists are atheists who admire Satan as a fictional figure for his rebellion against an oppressive God. The Satanists who do worship him, do not worship Satan as he's described in the bible (which, if you look, there is actually very little, if any, mention of Satan in the actual bible... he seems to be something of a separate teaching made from conclusions drawn from the little mention there is of him combined with aspects of Zoroastrianism.) They see the bible as just one side of the story, the wrong side (the oppressive God's side), and Satans side of the story is "right."
