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 Gods 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.

Even god is unmarried in certin religions and he is offering women to this believers when they go to heaven. That god is called a HE only. What do you think that that god would be doing ?God only knows .some gods have gone to heaven with the mortal body itself and he shouls necessarily be eating if he wer to live as he was eating here befor he went to heaven. That god having a physical body with all the organs of a human being shoud also be doing something as it is all a natural processes created by him and he is in the human body iotelf in the heaven. God only knows what he is doing ? leave it to god .

Since God is unmarried, I KNOW he is homosexual.

Given the mythology written about him, wouldn't he behave more like the Marquis de Sade?

No.
Satan was once an angel who was very beautiful and lustful. He attracted both males and females. He is bisexual if anything.
