This quote is quite appropriate, given your name and what you've said; this is Jesus speaking:
John 8:44 "You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it."
I still wish you peace, though.

Satan does not have a bad rap.
God does not kill people, satan does take lives when he controls nonbelievers and makes them overdose and things along those lines.
People of the world and God keep the churchs in business.
Satan is not a great guy and will never be.
God loves to have fun and I am sure that He also has a sense of humor.
If satan sued God don't you think that satan would lose considering he couldn't even keep himself in heaven.

remember my friend, that the words "god" and "satan" are labels, avatars if you will for the two most basic and powerful forces in our universe. Order, and Chaos. All religions have some sort of label for these two forces. They exist on a plane different and deeper than human existence and thus are not limited to things like "fun" or "church". They are codependent, one cannot exist in this universe without the other, and a balance must always be kept.
As to your real question, i understand your resentment towards christians. Many times i will meet a "christian" and they will frown on me because i have tattoos and peircings. they label me a sinner without ever having shaken my hand.
unfortunately there is very little we can do to change their viewpoints, except to refuse to go along with their stereotypes. I am not a sinner, no more than any other human being, i don't steal, lie, cheat, or actively try to hurt other people in any way. i choose to live my life in a certain way, and it may not include chaotic behavior like being an asshole on the internet.
but you exist somewhere on the sliding scale, and right now your place seems to be disorderly.
i hope you find your right place, and its happiness.

There are many instances in the bible where Satan does harm to people. In the book of Job, Satan actually petitions God to allow him to harm Job. Satan wipes out all of Job's livestock, his sons and daughters, and even inflicts boils on his skin. Biblically speaking, Christ keeps the church in business because people aren't supposed to worship God because of Satan. They are supposed to worship God because his son Jesus Christ set them free from sin. When you go to heaven, there will be continual worship of God, but Satan won't be there. That is the way the bible describes it. But , most people however, only go to church when they are suffering, or because they were taught to, or just for show. But if you admit that Satan keeps the church in business, then you are admitting that he causes suffering, so therefore, maybe he is not such a "great guy" after all. And actually, I think that God should sue Satan for slander because according to the bible, Satan is the "Father of Lies".

I think you need to read your bible, particularly Genesis.
This guy getting a bad rap is the cause of all evil and sin in this world. He deceived Eve into disobeying God and all evil entered the world.
He is the reason that your loved ones die of cancer and all other painful deaths. He is the reason that people hate and murder.
He is why we are enduring the punishment phase of our eternal life with God.
Bad rap? NO

That would be the best television ever. Supreme Court Case, Satan v. God.

quite certain God is not slandering His own creation. Satan serves his purpose and when you have been around several more years you will better understand it. What is the sound of one hand clapping??

You know what this is just outright a waste of points for me and anyone else who answer this question. I have to agree with the first lady I would see why your would say that considering what your username is! I am going to pray for you anyway because I believe you are just saying stuff just to hear yourself talk or in this case write! And I refuse to say you are stupid because you are not you know exactly what you are doing and you are just misguided and in need of correction. And that is the truth. I feel for you I feel for your parents but most of all I feel for you because of the lack of wisdom, and knowledge you do not have.
One other thing God shall not be mocked! And you are mocking him in a very should I say unsafe way be careful of what you say because you will never know when you will really need for him to send somebody your way for help and believe me he is going to read your heart for sincerity you will be judged.

He certainly would have a good case. There has yet to be any physical evidence that the Devil has done anything that God claims he has done.
But I'm not a religious person so I'm (not)bisaed.

i think that satan is evil from the day god cast him out of heaven, to live on this earth and to torment all of gods creations.
