I mean it's hard to think of satan as being evil though considering he in the bible is called evil. He is the one after all who knew how fucked up yaweh is.
That and you know god and even jesus lies in the bible it's just that who would trust more a guy who killed people flooding the world have obvious mental issues
or a guy that is called evil and only did 1 evil thing compared to the other evil things the first guy did. And people choose the guy with the mental issues 
who does tons of evil stuff because he keeps saying he is good.
You are evil if you don't believe and obey without exception.  It says that even demons believe but they don't obey so that makes them evil.  God has evil angels to do his dirty work.  They obey but don't believe.  And if you don't believe and obey without exception you get tossed into the lake of fire.  That's one of the primary themes in the Bible.

What if God is the real Satan and you were tricked into worshiping Satan all this time?

God characters force people to abide by a set of political and religious rules and will kill them if they deviate.  The Satan or devil character doesn't force anyone to abide by a set of rules he made up.  

God's rule is believe and obey or I'll kill you.

It's a very good question. I've asked if here before. I mostly got no answers. One person said they wouldn't care.

This is the problem with putting absolute faith in anything and bypassing your own humanity. You can be steered wrong very easily.

Jesus said that there's no reason to fear Satan but that you should be scared shitless of God.

Matthew 10:28 (ERV) = 28 “Don’t be afraid of people. They can kill the body, but they cannot kill the soul. The only one you should fear is God, the one who can send the body and the soul to be destroyed in hell."

My grandmother always stressed that the bible really means respect when it says fear, but honestly I think it means be afraid. This is not really a kind, nurturing deity we're talking about. It's an authoritarian that looks for any excuse to kill you.
Poe's Law: "Without a winking smiley or other blatant display of humor, it is impossible to create a parody of Fundamentalism that SOMEONE won't mistake for the real thing."

Good video to watch, if you want to know how common the Jesus story really is.

What if this is actually interesting speculation that serves to expose flaws in Christian thinking?
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.
