Maybe he's just had some serious pent up emotional trauma from his youth. Maybe he can be healed and relieved of this.

In ancient Jewish tradition Satan is simply an angel doing the work that God assigned to Satan to do.
The word Satan means challenger. With the idea of Satan challenging us, or tempting if you will. This description sees Satan as the angel who is the embodiment of man's challenges. This idea of Satan works closely with God as an integral part of God plan for us. His job is to make choosing good over evil enough of a challenge so that it becomes clear to us that there can be only one meaningful or logical choice.
Contrast this to Christianity, which sees Satan as God's opponent. In Jewish thought, the idea that there exists anything capable of setting itself up as God's opponent would be considered polytheistic or setting up the devil to be an equally powerful polarity to god or a demigod.
Oddly, proof for The Christian satan/devil mythology is supposedly found in the ancient Jewish texts that were borrowed to create the bible. One can’t help but wonder how Christians came up with such a fantastically different interpretation of Gods assistant Satan in their theology.
Other hints about Satan’s role in human relations can be seen if you look at the name Lucifer. It meaning in the original tongue translates as Light bearer or light bringer. Essentially the bringer of enlightenment. The temptations of the Satan idea bring all of us eventually into Gods light. Hardly the Evil entity of Christian mythology.

I have no belief in Satan. But if I ever meet someone named Satan, sure I will give them a hug.

You will never be able to see Satan physically. No chance of hug.

Well, how else do you expect me to greet my daddy? He might take away my job as doorman when I get down there and send me to Heaven for punishment.

dude, hugs are a sign of acceptance, you know like saying "i'm on your side" don't think hugging satan in that light would be best!

I have hugged Satan and it didn't help change him at all....
He needs more than a hug and a good lay. ;)

if he is so bad how did he convince 1/3 of the angels to revolt against god? could it be that he might not be as bad as god makes him out to be, after all people tend to make their Nemesis out to be worse than they really are and if people are created in gods image!
