Just a thought but isn't the only difference between God and the Devil that God has better PR.
The Devil's first sin was to give us self-awareness (its called knowledge in the Bible). That doesn't seem to be much of a crime whether God wanted it or not. God reacted by throwing his toys out of the pram.
Other than that everything we know about God comes from God himself. How do we know he isn't lying through his proverbial teeth?
