God loves the sinner but hates the sin, and Satan IS sin so the answer would be NO-Plus to forgive someone, would mean that the person wants to be forgiven, and that will never happen.

Probably not, BUT God is love and preaches forgiveness AND the devil is supposed to be a fallen angel or something so the prodigal son parable should come into play and we all say that you should practise what you preach so I suppose that If I were actually really truly God then I would have no option other than to forgive (the nasty evil, selfish, arragent ................SOB) Whoops slipped there for a minute ....

For God to forgive the Devil, he would have to be sorry for what he had done. Then maybe (if i were God i would consider it) but without evil we have nothing by which to measure good.

If i were god, means i'd be devil. Devil didn't show up after god, they both were created by humans at the same time. Devil is the best part of God, while God is teh worst part of Devil. My point of view is ilustrated by this story: 'When God created humans, Devil went at him and said: 'those will turn their backs at you, as i will give them a good life without any worries'. God replied: 'I'll send them fatal ilnesses and natural disasters so they will remember me'.

God and the Devil and two sides of the same coin, you can't have one without the other. So forgiveness doesn't come into it.

You could not, because God is goodness and the Devil is pure evil; they must remain separate and since the Devil shows no remorse because he is evil, you cannot forgive him.

What is devil? It is the (de) evil. Evil is part of my (God's) creation. So, there is no question of forgiving or not forgiving it, man!

No, because unlike man, the devil did not have a temptor. He did what he did purely out of hunger for power.
