The Devil, of course, assumed under virtural proof to be the 'darker side' of the human psyche with characteristics like being mostly primal and predatory. Also somewhat miserable and suicidal this devil would have to be considering if he were trying to pry Life from his opponents grasp only to clutch it.
In Either Case, God potentially having more knowledge of how to ... well Do, i guess.
The difference in this ultimatium I'm trying to point out is basically how do you feel he is working. Do you say He's trying to keep everything from destroying us while at the same time shilding us from Truth or is He (how)whatever it was that made this universe and (how)whatever it is that has our Earth still able to sustain life considering all the change we've made (so in essense a scientist with all that effort)?
This is one of those you can't convince anyone either way but I have my mind made up, just trying to see how other people see it.Sorry for all the words.

God is the creator of life, Satan has no power and is already defeated and only time, remains until he is cast into hell for all eternity. God only allows Satan to live for the time being, as a means of testing the Christian. If he didnt' allow temptation we would be merly robots.

God is the Creator of all life, including Satan. Satan is a defeated enemy and he knows it. What the devil is doing now is taking as many souls as he can into the eternal torments of Hell. Satan is the most extreme psychopath and sociopath you could ever imagine. There simply is no contest between Satan and God because God is Creator and Satan is a created being. This would be like an ant trying to take on a full grown man. God isn't fighting for His life, He's fighting for our eternal lives. God has sustained life and kept everything in this universe together since the beginning of time. This is no effort for God because He never tires or weakens -one of the benefits of omnipotence. What is going on on this planet, and has been since the beginning of time, is a test. God is allowing all of mankind, Satan, and his demons to see exactly how ugly sin is and that He alone has salvation and exceeding great joy to offer. When this age is all said and done and evil has been permanently stamped out, all will see and know that God is right. In the mean time the accuser -Satan- will continue to wage his war against God and lead as many as he can to eternal damnation. Predatory, miserable and suicidal are apt descriptions of Satan's character, for he was a liar and a murderer from the beginning. God does not try to shield us from the truth because He is the Truth; deception is Satan's game.

Nobody ever known why God had created angels and Satans before human. This question still remained unknown , only God knows. Satans were very jealous of God's promise to human for a place called Heaven as a residence for the soul returned after our death. Life on earth is just a trial for us as how faithful we are towards the God, in order to carry out this trial God had agreed with Satan to seduce and mislead human to disaster.
There is why it is our choice to obey the God or to follow the Devil. But the true fact is that the soul full of sins shall reside
in Hell.

because such as the wicked children of the devil, who're a ransom for the righteous, he suits the bill completely. Being on the "A-crew" has that's eternal drawbacks, yet they sensible comprehend the thanks to construct the international up for God's children to inherit it. right that's one for the Goats! Cheers!

Well, I believe He is the Creator of Life, but definitely not fighting for His life against the devil (if that's what you mean; if you mean ours, it's our choices that we make in life, but God helps you and guides you to the right choices if you've already surrendered all to Him). I'm a little confused, though- shielding us from what truth? Some things we know and others we will never know.

Well for me he is everthing. People believe it is clockwork now but not so much for me. I believe hope, faith, and love are still the strongest things. Of course he is also battling over protecting us from the sin Lucifer wants us to fall to. Well that is just my opinion. It may not look like it in the world today but good deeds are still at hand.

God is the creator of all...the devil or lucifer, was the highest of the archangles and the bearer of light, until he got proud and decided that he was as great or greater than God. you have asked a very heavy question...one that is sure to bring many and varied answers...some very wordy answers, not because it is a wordy question, but because it is a very deep and weighty question.
(and it takes alot of words to ask those questions)

(Revelation 19:20) And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.
(Revelation 20:10) And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
(Matthew 22:29) Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing THE SCRIPTURES, nor the power of God.

ok i am trying to get the Q out of the garbled words. ok, yes God created all of life. satan does try to steal souls. yes God tries to protect our souls. he doesnt want to see anyof us doomed to hell, but the free will he gave each of us will find some with satan. God does not force anyone to serve him. you either do or you dont but you get to choose.
