Taking god to be some pervasive fabric of reality bullshit that seems to be so cosmopolitan recently as absolute gospel; there is no point in dividing the identity of the divine into god and satan. Ultimately the serpent is only an extension of the will of their bullshit god. Arguing that god is the creator and sustainer of all things and then positing that somehow there is a devil who is even capable of taking action against the will of this sustaining force is ridiculous.
Satan is only a christian invention in the specifics of this particular narrative. Most religions have a a dump for all the nasty shit that they don't want their deity taking credit for. Satan is the cosmic scapegoat, in a scapegoating religion. They neither invented nor expanded upon the proposition of this supernatural creature. They simply absorbed it. Someone has to kill the cattle and make men's penises shrivel, and it sure as hell isn't going to be their loving celestial father now is it?
(It couldn't possibly be that the faithful is a terrible rancher or impotent, it's always black magic. That's how religions founded on ignorance, by ignorant people, and extolling the virtues of ignorance roll.)
