Some people say we must be evil because that is the "true nature" of Satan. By what law did we establish this? Because the Christians said so?

Satan is more of a silly angel that challenges your reasoning. We choose to let our minds go out of conrol, Satan doesn't force us to.

We are certainly not evil by nature. What is evil and what is good? Evil is being unjust and unmerciful, while being good is being just and merciful. Everyone without exceptions is designed to take for self preservation. As soon as we are born we begin to breathe in the air, eat up the food and put our weight and burden on this Earth.
However, we can also give happiness to our parents by being sweet babies, bring joy to our friends and neighbors by sharing and ultimately our balance in favor of giving should be equal or more than what we take.
People are not evil at all in my study and understanding. Even Satan can not force you to do evil. He can only make evil offers to you, which you can reject without any problems. In fact, if you reject his offers, you move closer to God. Had Satan not offered us the evils, we would be getting closer to God only through our good deeds. Through Satan making the evil offers and us rejecting them we get additional benefit and blessings which would be denied to us had Satan not existed. So, even Satan helps the good and moves them closer to God if you stop and think. Satan also separates the evil folks from the good people, which is not a bad thing either.
So, ultimately everything the Lord Almighty has made is for good. Even Satan does good to the good, albeit not wanting to.
I hope this makes sense.

Satan is a bogeyman made up by the church...and does not exist. But by their reasoning God made both Satan or Lucifer and man .. if both are evil..what does that say about God? Think about things logically... dont just listen to what people say.

I don't know who says this, but I don't believe that evil people have anything to do with Satan.
