Can't disagree with you, but I suspect anyone with a modicum of theological training would suggest an alternative.
Perhaps God create the universe as a test, for us. But a test makes no sense if there are no wrong answers, savvy? Thus Satan, regardless of whether he knows it or not, is simply doing God's will to tempt and test us.
In fact, I doubt it would be a real stretch to suggest that Satan could be as saddened by a fallen soul as God, he was after all the most beautiful of the Angels.
As to the pleasure of the Lord, any good parent can testify that punishing your child can hurt your heart more then it hurts the childs feeling or behind. The only thing worse would be allowing them to do as they will, and never grow up. Could you imagine that? Oh, wait, that's Amercia all over these days, isn't it.
Sux.

No, not quite!
Satan is condemned to death, he will take as many human soul with him to death as he can, in the hope that if he takes enough that God will change his word!
He has but 1 chance left to him, to corrupt the Elect of God.

I can't answer questions that you take from fairy tales. There's no proof of Satan or any other fabricated characters. Isn't it a coincidence that all the prophets and miraculous miracles occurred during a time where man had little to no technology? To put it simple man, didn't understand certain phenominons so he said it was the work of god ie: thunder was created from the god Zeus

Satan hates both people and God. He wants to deceive as many of us as possible. (We are free to choose to follow God or Satan.) Many people follow Satan when they think they are following no one.
My dear fellow Christians, please remember when atheists are calling you names that "We battle not against flash and blood." Our enemy is not the atheist! The enemy is Satan that has closed the mind of that atheist. The atheist has often been hurt and needs love. Pray that God open their eyes and show them the way.

Yes, I'm sure God has nothing better to do than gamble with our puny, pathetic lives.
