Doesn't this fit well with the idea that god created Satan just so he'd have someone to label as the 'bad guy' for him to protect us from?No. It fits with the idea that god created Satan in part so he'd have someone to label as the 'bad guy' for him to protect us from.
You're right John V, The Force is much more believable. The Force had midichlorians create the ultimate Jedi from an unfucked woman in the desert (in this case an entire planet) in order to bring balance to The Force. The dude grows up and kills all Jedi except for Yoda (who died of boredom) and his wimpy ass son who couldn't finish the job.
At least Darth Vader could complete a task. Your devil and associated minions are almost as incompetent as your god.
