Both Good and Evil don't exist, they are just ideas (which are bullet prof by the way) that a rather clever cave-man/woman came up with to stop the cave-kids hitting each other. No matter what your believe system (assuming you haven't made up one of your own), go far enough back in time and you get to a point where good, evil and morality its self did not exist, there for it is just an idea that every individual sets there own boundaries that only effect you if you allow it.

Satan isn't evil at all really, if you go for the original Satan, and not the Gothic pop culture version- Then Satan was the lord of music, who was cast of of heaven and into hell for questioning god. That's it, nothing more! And then we damn him as the lord of all evil for having free will? Tbh, I'd say god was more evil, for damning his life to a eternity of fire and anguish for having free will.
Yeah, but then Satan decided to tempt Eve and ruin things for humanity just to spite God. If he was just trying to revenge himself on God or the other angels that'd be one thing, but he relishes in tainting humanity who are innocent of the affair.
I agree with Robert Ewing completely, I someone has free will their going to exercise it, any one who try's to stop this is a fascist dictator (yes in this case this includes god).
To secondcircle: God ruined things for humanity,1. before Adam and Eve ate the apples they had no concept of right or wrong (something god conveniently deprived them of).
2. God made a tree called 'THE TREE OF KNOWLEDGE'(insert dramatic music here), told them not to eat from it and then put it on their front door.
3. God was the one that did the punishing, he could have just punished A&E (leave their unborn kids out of it) but instead choice to punish all of us, you know that teacher who gives everyone detention because one kid spoke out of turn, same thing.
4. The actions of the devil actually liberated humanity, in Eden we where essentially lobotomized creatures, blindly following the orders of someone who CLAIMS to be the ultimate good and APPARENTLY has the authority to rule us, after 'the fall' we where given the gift of choice.
If god was the first thing in the universe how can he/she be good, it is logicically impossible.
