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?
Number of people killed by god or at his command.... millions
Number of people killed by satan.......10(in a bet with god)
But satan is the evil one apparently

I bet it even gives you a little bit of a boner.
Honestly?
No.
I don't want anyone to perish. What I stated would be Hell to me.
I think we each make our own hell. Whatever that may be.
I'd much rather have us all in Paradise together as brothers and sisters.
And will you be happy in heaven? When you look down at all those people writhing in agony in the eternal fires? When 99% of them have committed no real crime? When you recognise friends and family who failed to make the grade in the eyes of your callous god?
Will you still be happy then?
Or will you ignore their screams of agony and turn away.
And will you happy to share heaven with all the rapists, paedophiles and murderers who got in by asking for gods forgivness at the last moment?
If you're not supposed to ride faster than your guardian angel can fly then mine had better get a bloody SR-71.
