Funny, I made a post on this a few weeks ago. There is more then just satan, they a got a whole pantheon between Satan, The Lord, Jesus, and The holy spirit. Not to mention Micheal in a hermes type role at times.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

In the Richard Carrier post he discusses this very point.

There are also the saints, which are prayed to and give them at least a demigod aspect. They even have things the are "gods of" in a sense. Add to that all the different types of angels. Even the Virgin Mary gets prayers and is attributed to miracles, therefore godly status.

Also about the Devil...who was an angel to begin with. Lucifer was his name...God created angels to have no free will. So technically, if the angels have no free will, they could not challenge God. So the war between God and Lucifer is silly.

Haven't seen you around in a long time, good to see you here again, hope all has been well with you.

Now to address the one thing others haven't, the angels were created with free will, if they were not they couldn't have rebelled. Free will is so much more important to God than most of mankind believes, God wants His created ones to love Him freely and when they don't it really hurts Him, the reasons are many.

Glad to see your position has changed.
