In response to this comment, and only this comment, our perception of justice is man-made, and therefore your statement could be easily refuted by saying that God's justice is divine and cannot be compared to man's justice which is (obviously) not divine. I would imagine a rational theist would oppose your comment in this way. Just something to chew on and think about.
As a christian I tend to agree with your statement up to the point that our justice is not divine. As a christian I see that our justice comes from the divine but our perception is not from the immortal but the mortal, God has forever to prove what he knows, we do not and so demand justice to be immediate. Satan's sentence is going nowhere and will be carried out in due time (when God's will has been served).
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.
