actually, the Bible does not say angels are made in God's image
and its not his looks, its his character thats the problem
redeemed mankind made from dust are destined to become redeemed and eventually as a group will be the Bride of Christ, no angel will be this, they are servants of the redeemed and of God
man starts lower and ends higher if redeemed, possibly making some angels mad?

Satan was not created in Gods image, you have your facts wrong. Mankind was, but not in the sense that you think. We are created in His image in that we are a trinity, (mind, body, soul) and also we see, hear, feel, etc. We share "similar" characteristics as God minus the perfection. The Father, Son, and Holy Ghost make up the Godhead. Take away any of these three and you do not have God. Just like if you take away a persons mind they cannot operate and function properly, the person would not be "complete". To be a complete person, we must have all three, the same is with God. Satans description with the horns and tail is mans doing and not Gods. The Bible describes him as and " Angel of light". He was created the most beautiful of all angels and was called the "son of the morning" When he spoke it was the sound of beautiful instruments playing, but he became pridefull and wanted to be worshipped as God, so he was removed from Heaven away from Gods presence, which in itself is great punishment, and cursed to the earth for a short while until ultimately recieving his well deserved kingdom know as Hell! His appearance was and will be altered to fit his true nature.

no, God hates the sin, Not the sinner.
He constantly knocks at your heart's door. He works on YOU, individually. Don't worry about others. Just you.
I think man thought up the horns and such, so they could portray satan in a picture, ya know?

Satan has no more power over man than man gives to him. The reason he is portrayed as ugly is because man wanted to make him appear to be scary.
As far as God loving Satan well he created hell for him and that is where he will be cast at the end of time, does that sound like love?

The Bible never states that satan was created in the image of the Creator.It states that man was created in his image.satan was originally an angel but fell from grace with the Creator and was cast down from heaven.And pretty is as pretty does and satan is pretty damn ugly,but would appear as an Angel of light to deceive the very elect.

Read a Bible. Satan was an angel that tried to overtake God. Living in the bowels of the earth and a freakish appearance is his punishment for this act. Jesus, by the way is the one who loves humans. God demands you follow his wishes or else.

God is very beautiful! Don't u see his reflection in His every creation. Only a Fool can think otherwise. Do you know the real image of your beloved Satan... It is all your imagination.

The angel Satan (who never fell and is not in competition with "God", according to Judaism) was changed into a scary bogeyman in medieval times in order to frighten less than intelligent people into converting to Christianity. Devils and hell are a Christian invention, borrowed from other religions on which parts of Christianity are based.
