I agree entirely. "I kill and I heal, and from My Hand there is no deliverer."
However, "satanism" isn't an alternative to chrstianity; it's the obverse side of it. Satanists are still chrstians; they just root for "the other side."

I see what you mean.
1) Rooting for the other side precludes someone from the essence of being a Christian--which means "little Christ" or follower of Christ.
2) Satanists don't understand or believe anything like real Christian doctrines of Satan or anything else. They are typically either atheists mocking religion or people that convinced themselves they can do magic, and like to shock others by claiming to get power from Satan. But the "Satan" that these people claim allegiance to is nothing like that described in the Christian scripture. Indeed, these magical Satanists think they understand Satan far better than Christians....and they will go on and on about how "misunderstood" they are.
