So, which is it? They all are worshiping your God, or they aren't.

Which satanists, let's be sure we are on the same page for this
arguement. LaVey satanists, rebellious teenage satanists, or some other
unifying branch that I haven't heard of yet?

 the pagans

Yeah, now I'm insulted. The pagan religions that were formed, at least
according to some modern science, around the same time as your Eden
stories would have taken place by biblical time lines, are obviously
worshiping the same deity as you. Regardless of the fact that your God
did not take the same form to them and never bothered to correct their
opinions until long after they were all dead. Obviously, they are the
ones who were wrong.

What evidence would you put forth that you are right and they are not?
What evidence would it take to convince you otherwise? A giant glowing
being coming out of the sky and speaking to you personally, claiming to
be Ra or Marduk, or would you write those off as being Satan in
disguise? And why, if those pagans were right and you are wrong, are
they still the 'poor pagans' who seem to be so misled?
