Is satan really a bad "__"? He punishes people that have done bad things (sinned), therefore he's doing a good thing right? Afterall, it's whomever's fault for sinning and being put in hell etc... Why would he try to do bad things to everyone if he punished bad people put in hell. It doesn't make sense.

God would have had us all be ignorant, Satan showed us the path to knowledge and understanding. Think about it. After eating the apple, humanity gained the knowledge of good and evil. Before that people would have just done what "felt right." Things that are wrong still would have happened. Somebody annoys you? Kill him. The only difference is that we wouldn't have [i]understood[/i] that what we were doing was wrong. It would have been "okay" because we were ignorant. TL;DR: Hail Satan, the giver of knowledge.
