Yes and for the same reason I think women should be elected to congress.

They can't fuck things up any worse than the assholes who are already there.

If one really did have that kind of power, they wouldn't pick either, that's for sure.

Why not?

Agree, but in that case the OP's question is flawed (or loaded)...

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Kind of hard to say how good or bad Satan would be, given our only information on him comes from his enemies. The leader of which is obsessed with blood and death. But I will say, given how god acts in the bible, I can understad why Satan and a third of the angel population would consider electing a different ruler.

Going by the Bible.... YES.
