And don't answer, cause satan hasn't asked for forgiveness.....if that was the deal, then that would mean all christians would be able to hold a grudge or hate towards someone who did them wrong simply because that person didn't come back and ask for forgiveness.

The first thing that someone should be considering is whether the idea of sin is actually real.
If God is supposed to be perfect how could She have made anything or anyone that wasn't perfect.
Think about it. The idea of sin assumes certain things about God that seem highly unlikely.
First it assumes a God who is too incompetent to organize a simple educational field excursion and figure out a way to get all of the students home safely.
How likely is this that God would not be smart enough to come up with a plan for our salvation that is going to work?
It also assumes that God must have created us imperfect if we are sinners.
One might assume that God would be able to create someone perfect each and every time if he chose to. Assuming God is capable of this, then it follows logically that we must be perfect creations if we are actually creations of this perfect God.
Unless of course you are saying that God chose to create us imperfect.
If God created us imperfect then anything that may go wrong is Gods fault, not ours. This seems a bit illogical at best so I think that we need to assume that What God creates would have to be perfect.
If this is the case and Gods creations are perfect, then nothing that we can do could change what God created perfect and make it imperfect unless we think that we are more powerful than God is.
How likely is it that we the creation could be more powerful than the creator. I personally find this idea somewhat amusing, and a bit absurd.
Religion tells us that God is perfect. If this is true then it could hardly be logically for Gods creations to be considered to be anything less than perfect.
If this is the case then Nothing that we can ever do could possibly change this perfection that God willed, unless we were so powerful that our choices could override and change the will of God.
How likely is that????
Think about it.
The idea of sin is simple nonsense; a lie made up about God by religion.

What is the answer you are looking for? Obviously you aren't looking for the truth, because you said you don't want to hear it. Satan does not want to be forgiven, he is content living his life tempting others to sin and causing hatred, wars and questions like this one. And unfortunately some Christians do hold grudges when people don't ask for forgiveness, it isn't right, but it is true. satan does not desire God's forgiveness, it is his wish to be as powerful as God, why would he care whether or not God forgives him? He didn't care in the beginning and he doesn't care now......

According to the Old Testament, Satan does not consider his initial heavenly defection against God to be a "sin". God's forgiveness would thus be moot and irrelevant in this instance. This is similar to when Christian evangelizers tell me that I need to be "saved", since I am not aware of anything I need to be "saved" from.

God actually forgives all, but the devil needs to ask for forgiveness. The same way with you. He forgives you of all your sin if you simple ask him for forgiveness and recognize he is God. The devil is no were near that. He is a liar, and he wants everyone to think he is God. If you remember correctly God even created him but his head got to big.

bla bla bla.. "It's a fairytale" "it's fiction"
Do you know when all of your answers will answered? 60 years from now average! That's a very short time.. When u'll die you'll wake up in a split second, just like you wake up from a deep sleep... Will you be forgiven when u say "I believe now?"
Even Satan believes in GOD!! More than you and me.. God forgave Satan even before he threw him in evil.. He even gave him rule over us!! Satan rules us more than God!! But God cannot be with sin... How can he forgive Satan.. Forgiving him means Satan asks for repentance.. He cannot forgive him and be with him can He? And don't imagine Satan as a being.. Imagine him as a whisper.. A state of mind

Oh but he does, it's just that the bastard keeps piling up new sins faster than old grumpy-beard can forgive them.
I wouldn't worry too much about it, really. You see, god knows how satan hates to be forgiven so he keeps doing it just to annoy him, and satan, oh well, what can I say, you know the guy better than I do. In the end, it's nothing but a bunch of old geezers having a bit of fun in their old day. It keeps them busy, I guess.
In the meantime, we mortals pretty much get to be left to our own devices to do whatever we please.
See? I told you, it's all good.

The reason is because Christ didnt die for angels but mankind. As soon as satan sinned and some of the angels followed him, God created hell for them. If there was a way for satan to recieve forgivness, i dont doubt for a second he would take it. Christ didnt die for angels.

Because satan will never accept Jesus Christ. God is faithful, if satan would do that I beleive God could and would forgive him.
Your whole concept of forgiveness looks wrong.

Forgiveness is only offered to men and women, not to angels. There is no hope for Satan. He beheld glory yet pride corrupted him.

I beleive that God did forgive him, but Satan didn't want forgiveness, so, therefor he is condemned to hell I guess.
