You teach something that's mostly true. Because it's harder to spot that than an outright lie. After they've accepted that you fudge a little more, after a while they won't even realize the non sense they're buying. Hitler said if you tell a lie loud enough long enough that everyone will believe it.

I would never want to sway people that way, But if I were Satan, I would say I'm doing a great job, why change it? Take a look around- this world has Satan written all over it!

That is a hard one because I would say no but if I was Satan I don't really know. I would ask jesus to help me find the answer and if I was Satan I would try and do what is right not sway ppl from the truth.

I would just sit back and do nothing. I would let the Christian churches do the work for me. After all they are the best advertisment for Satan, witches and other things they say are bad for you. They do their own form of deception and when it is found out they lose followers to the truth.

First I would make sure to stay out of the limelight--the quicker people forget I exist, the easier it is to work.
Secondly I would distract people with pettiness-their jobs, their money, their stuff. If they concentrate enough on fulfilling themselves with junk, they'll never have time to think.
Thirdly, I would make everyone see how evil they are, and constantly put a sense of guilt on them for their sinfulness. If they can't escape from their guilt, they won't believe in redemption, and they won't believe in hope, and they will never see the truth.
Fourthly and finally, I would convince people through science and relativistic beliefs systems that they are indeed nothing more than animals. In this way, they would stop caring for other people, or for any sort of deeper truth.

I think Satan has it down cold, being the father of lies.
Sprinkle your lies with enough semblances of truth to make them appear to be true, or at least worthy of a second consideration.
If temptations came with all the ugliness of sins' consequences, we'd all run from it.

I think he has already gotten that down to a science. He has swayed enough people into believing in evolution and believing He doesn't really exist. I don't know that I could come up with anything to top that.

I'd disguise myself as a barnyard animal that speaks... and types.... Then I would tell them huge lies like: The Earth is not flat, the earth doesn't have four corners, the Earth revolves around the sun and so do other planets! I would fake a fossil record and pretend that all life on Earth evolved!

I wouldn't. I'd say that's very nice, and very interesting, but it has nothing to do with real life. Let's just worry about the here and now, and let all that theoretical stuff go on its merry way.

I would take a truth and then twist it slightly, so that it becomes false. Then I would have people follow that thinking that they were following the truth.
