He is so unimpressed by God that he decides to throw a monkey wrench in his plans. We can assume that he knows that the end result of his rebellion against God is that he will be wiped from existence, so he is a fatalist. Or... he doesn't know that God will kill him? Or... he thinks that he can stand up to God and overcome him?
He certainly can't expect to reason things out with God if he'd read the Bible beforeha-- ohhhhhh...
Or, God is such an asshole that he'd rather be consigned to oblivion than spend another minute with Him. That is, Satan, knowing he'd fail and what the consequences would be, would still rather lose everything than have to spend eternity with Yahweh.
you are right... Not all want to serve for eternity. I use this arguement all the time. Satan Literally chose Hell than to serve God. So then why would some of us be any different?
