Explain this, theists

Allowing a being as powerful as Satan to try and trick people away from God (or whatever he is supposed to do) is rather unfair, isn't it? God expects mere mortals to see through and fight this magical being? It's clearly tricking millions of people into the wrong religion for starters, and who exactly can blame them, when God just sits back and does nothing.

In the Bible, you actually don't' see a lot of "magical powers" from Satan.  I think you may be arguing more the stuff of cartoons, rather than the scriptures.
It is said that an argument is what convinces reasonable men and a proof is what it takes to convince even an unreasonable man.  - Alexander Vilenkin
If I am shown my error, I will be the first to throw my books into the fire.  - Martin Luther
