The Jeish faith and later the Catholic church have a long tradition of vilifying their opponents and claiming that those opponents MUST be working for Satan if they disagree in even the tiniest way. What happened to the Knights Templar is a good example of this. An order of knights dedicated to defending pilgrims to the holy land that got rich from running their own caravans alongside the pilgrims, since it was just as expensive to guard both as to guard just one. The King of France got jealous of their wealth and got together with the Church to spread rumors of them serving Satan and worshipping a devil named Baphomet -- none of which was the least bit true. But it gave the King and Church all the justification they needed to seize all Templat holdings and murder all of the knights. The thing with descibing Lilith as ugly could just be an older example of the same sort of practice.
