I'm honestly not sure what would be worse. Yahweh already kills and tortures people who make the smallest mistakes. His followers aren't necessarily any better off than anyone else, except when they die they get to worship someone forever instead of being roasted forever.
But think about it while I don't think Satan is evil while he is the most powerful being in the universe with God out of the picture. He is not Omnipotent he could still be overthrown and replaced with somebody like Gabriel or Micheal I believe in Revelations it says Gabriel will fight Satan in a one on one duel so he may be just a bit more powerful than a Archangel.
Do you even know who and what Satan was? What makes you think that Satan can defeat the omniscient God when Satan as you said isn't omniscient, wouldn't it make sense that God would know Satan's ever move even before he did?

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
