I satan has no say in your eternal hellfire torture, then he is just a slave of God and therefore God is your tormentor, or Satan if you will.
Satan needs so free will to get keep God's hands clean in the eternal hellfire torture rachet...right?
Ok, so then maybe we can cut a deal with satan...why not? Actually, if satan really wanted to be nasty and disrespectful to God, he could just not torture me in hell to defy God who assumed that I would be tortured when he sent me to hell...right?
If I wanted to cut a deal with satan, i would just propose that he let me make up another religion, maybe something just like Islam or another sect of it...how could he resist unless he just stole the idea and tortured me anyway.

You wrote.

What do you mean, if Satan isn't just a slave of God?
Don't understand you at all.
You have no idea who you are dealing with if you think for one moment you can deal with a supernatural creature like Satan.
You mean nothing to this guy. He'll use you just to irritate God and allow you to be burned to ashes in the lake of fire.
Work on your sentence structure after you do your Bible studies><>

never trust a snake, sin 'll kill ya no matter what the snake on the street says. and Satan doesnt make good on deals he just tricks and kills
God is a big God and Satan is teeny compared to God;s lil finger
so put your eyes on the big guy who holds life and death in his hands for real
the power to reward and the power to punish are squarely in the hands of God... so focus on God who alone can kill and destroy, reward and punish,who makes heaven heaven and hell hell
it is not surprize that Satan is not even mentioned in many books of the New Testaments and in Romans only briefly in the last verse or so which said "and GOD will soon criush Satan under your feet"

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.

First of all, nobody sends you to hell but you. You are the one who makes up your mind where you will go, because of your free will.
Satan only makes one deal with you, and it is for your soul, so go ahead.....make his day.
