What gives?

He can. He just doesn't want to. Didn't you know? God likes evil.

Actually, to be fair to Satan... Here's some evidence that Satan is the significantly lesser evil of the two:

Because neither exist?


So basically the war between god and satan is being played out by the imaginary little guys on my shoulders?

Why is everyone always going on and on about Stan?  No matter what Stan did, I'm sure it couldn't have been all that bad.  I just don't understand all this hatred of Stan.

Didn't really think about it that deeply.  I was just picturing of the little characters depicted in some cartoons.  Conscience can just refer to our capacity -however it may function- to decide what matters.

Some religious conceptions of "conscience" sure do seem convoluted.

-and all the lollipops I totally want to steal from babies in strollers or the moral high ground I occupy on account of not stealing lollipops from babies in strollers!

It's all very conflicting.

God doesn't kill Satan because he needs a fall guy.

Who else would Christians and Jews and Muslims have to blame on bad things, if not for Satan?  They'd have to blame God.  They can't do that!  It'd interrupt their blowjob session with him.
"Tradition" is just a word people use to make themselves feel better about being an asshole.
