Surely you are not so hard headed that you haven't learned a thing from Christians. It's not God can't kill Satan, it's His love for man's free choice was much more important that He wouldn't put an end to Satan until all who will come to love God has. God is proving to His creation that loving Him is the most important thing they can do, you might find that revolting but God and those who love Him find it a awesome part of peace. Satan hates God and he has no peace and neither will those who will follow him. So nothing gives as soon as God's plan has been totally completed Satan will bite the dust, it will happen only in God's perfect timing and not when you and that little brain thinks it's appropriate.

Ah, "free will".
The excuse of the ages.
Next time I get pulled up by a cop for speeding, I'm going to tell him he's violating my free will!

It's all part of the grand plan.
Please stop praying, it fucks with the divine plan.

Apparently you haven't read the ending!

Why should we regard the ending as any more reliable than any of the other bullshit prophecies?

The story needs a villain. Oddly, this tale makes the villain smarter than the hero.
What I was going to say, even today some villains are more popular than the hero. look at Darth Vader.
God works in mysterious ways, but the believers know all about its ways. Shit you not 
The number of believers is in a 1:1 ratio to the number of gods. It is just a concept of the believer of his own perfection. Meh, given holy books they flock much, but if one was interested in going to the core of it, the number of schisms would be equal to the number of believers in the world. It's kind of a super ego.

Satan appears to work for god, effectively he works in the prison. And according to the book of job sometimes they hang together to play games and shit.

Killed or allowed to die? There is a difference.

There are laws to help prevent people from taking advantage of their free will, that is the answer you will get from the police.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
