Why don't Christians admire/LOVE SATAN instead of the biblical God?

They do love Satan. They just don't realise he killed and replaced their God. Pretty obvious when you read the book.

It appears that "Satanists" are typically athiests.

Thusly that answer of yours, in that particular word sequence, appears to be nonsense...

No. Stop that. Stop that right now. I'm not going to let you avoid answering my question with a derail. You must recognise that Christians and Satanists are two opposing, mutually exclusive groups because you've changed the OP since I first responded. I claim victory on that account.

Further, your edit still doesn't make sense because some theists DO love Satan instead of God; the satanists!

Your consistent inability to accurately define or segment, although a sometime source of amusement, can be highly infuriating!

Satanists are satanists. Atheists who parody and oppose politicised American Christians using the label 'LaVeyan Satanists' are atheists and are open in declaring themselves as such.

You need new set theory.

RE: Why don't Christians admire/LOVE SATAN instead of the biblical God?
Probably because morality and admiration are defined by more than 1 variable.

Put assuming that it is defined by one variable...
The Biblical God is responsible for all life. If he got rid of a few million lives, he would still be responsible for a net positive of life. Satan on the other hand would be responsible for a net negative of life by killing 10 people.

There probably is an argument somewhere which would point out Satan was responsible for the fall of man, which in turn is responsible for all deaths that occur.

I'm sure there are lots of other routes you could go down as well. Like Noah's flood happened because all of man turned from god completely. Presumably Satan was responsible for this, and you might think of the flood as a bottle neck that ensures the future of humanity houses more good souls than bad souls. In that sense you could think of things like Noah's flood as an optimization of salvation.

That last one seems like a real stretch, but it wouldn't necessarily be a surprising answer.

Bringing heaven and hell into the equation really makes the valuation of physical life tricky. That to me is a more interesting question than why Christians don't love Satan instead of God.

(1) biblical God TOTAL kill count  = 20 million+ (ie: biblical flood/global wipe out)

(2) biblical Satan TOTAL kill count  = TEN.


So, WHY DO THEISTS NOT LOVE biblical SATAN instead of God? 
(Is biblical satan like an underappreciated policeman/judge?)
What made death the ultimate standard of morality?

IF God is right then this life is little more than living in a reverse 'Matrix.' (meaning we currently live in the worst of two worlds)

Death in this life simply means waking up from the Matrix to the real world.

So unless you FEAR death, then it should not solely be used as a mile marker of morality.

What makes Satan Satan is how/why those people died. God Simply removed his shield/protect off of lot and His family, for Satan to do with what He willed. Satan like God could have rewarded Lot for his service, but he did not even attempt to try. His first move was to kill with out provocation.

That my blind secular sheep is what makes a being truth evil.

Actually, a case can be made that Satan is responsible for all human deaths. Accord to the fable, Satan tempted Eve who tempted Adam, and Adam's action impelled God to evict humans from the Garden, and they would thenceforth be subject to physical death.

The War in Heaven was fought by the two most powerful beings there. The winner of that fight declared the other being "Satan" while making himself "God".
