I've read the bible and I don't recall Satan himself actually ever doing anything evil or harmful... however I read many accounts where God killed or tormented countless thousands of people for arbitrary reasons.
Aside from prophecies where Jehover says that Satan will hurt people in the future (Hasn't happened yet, and no sign that it will happen), can anyone cite an example in the bible where Satan actually harmed anyone?
ELsewhere,
Satan brought God's wisdom into question. He personally misled the first couple, who were essentially children. They didn't even know the difference between good and evil.

One good example of this kind of thinking is this:
"Probably the Lord made some of the useful insects. No doubt the devil made some of the others. The Lord is the better architect..."
(C.J. Woodworth, "Forms of Insect Life," The Golden Age, Dec. 19, 1923, pp. 163, 164, 167, 168.)

I laughed MAO when I foud this quote.
Why didn't Noah get those two mosquitoes?
Satan brought God's wisdom into question.
correct me if i'm wrong, but didn't moses question the wisdom of god's direction to go before the pharoah? god must've learned to lighten up by then.
Satan did not mislead them... God mislead them.
When all was said and done, Adam and Eve did not die for hundreds of years and they did, in fact, gain the knowledge of good and evil. It sounds like God lied and Satan freed them from slavery to ignorance. God acted to punish them for this.
In that situation, God caused all of the harm out of prideful and selfish vengeance.
You've got to be kidding! No, I guess you're not, simply performing for the gallery.
Jesus came into the world to save sinners. Why? Because of Satan and Adam and Eve.
Perform to the gallery all you like but it still won't alter the fact that Jesus died for you.
hmm...all i can say is that by the definitions of god and satan presented here in this thread, it would appear that satan has taken a far more active interest in the world today than god or jesus.
oh, one more thing...tolerance of viewpoints and beliefs has to go both ways.
just my 2 cents.

First you have to prove if any or all of them ever existed. Then we can talk facts.
God had his own son tortured and then murdered in order to gain more "slaves" ("Slave" being the word used by God)
Sound evil to me.
