If God infinite in nature, all existence in fact are him alone
then... if all existence in fact are part (subset) of God, including life, living creatures, as well as satan. If anything "out of part" of God, surely he is limited which conclude he is not God. What a game?

God is the author of all creation. Satan was created. Some believe Satan was an angel (Lucifer) who became consumed
by his desire for power, and was cast out of heaven.
On one level, if God created everything, then everything is a part of God. Satan had a free will and chose to turn from God.

Everything is a part of the one Higher Power, including what can be considered an imaginary being called Satan.
Does Satan or Hell exist....or is it a "fear-tactic", created by some organized religions?
In my opinion, we all were created equally by one God, and everything else is debateable.

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’s 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.

God is love that is why he did not destroy Satan. He will though when the time is right. Instead of destroying Satan he made a way of salvation from him and his evil plan.......The salvation is through JESUS. Satan was the most pure and beautiful angels God created. He was not born a sinner, he became sin itself.
May God bless you and lead you to the truth.
