Both Leviticus and 2 Chronicles use the Hebrew word "saiyr" (saw-eer), which means "the hairy one", and by extension, as in these two passages, "a shaggy haired devil". This word is literally associated with a male goat kid originally, "the hairy one", and is used in the vast majority of Jewish scriptural passages where the word "goat" appears.
Both Deuteronomy and Psalm 1065 use the ancient Hebrew word "shed" (shade), which literally means "demon" (daemon) or malignant devil.

It's an interesting stance some seem to have--that one can have a relationship with God and yet ignore the bulk of what He has set down as scripture and compartmentalize it under the label of "not to be taken seriously". If there is something within those "not to be taken seriously" books that jives against someone's philosophy, then I guess it is easy to move on from there feeling justified.
(except for the kaballistic stuff--to me (and to most Jews, that I've seen anyway) that stuff is nonsensical and extra-Biblical to the point of absurdity)
that is, perhaps you believe in symbolism to the point of analysis paralysis.
