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.

Well, if you believe in God because His existence cannot be disproven, then you must also believe your idea is true, because you can't disprove that either. It's also bolstered by 2 other biblical facts:
1. Satan is the father of lies (the greatest lie is to say you are God)
2. Satan is the one who wanted humans to be able to judge the difference between good and evil, not God. Isn't the nature of religion to solidify the difference between good and evil?

You are right. You knowledge actually know nothing about god and satan. Both hide deeply in your mind and waiting for chance to come up for trapping you. The best way is disregard him, no matter he is god nor satan. Let it in and let it go, sooner later both of them will go and will not come back again.

an Arch bischop of Gibraltar and an abbess of a monestry both once told me ,that they thought that Satan sat on the throne ,and they should know
in fact the god was Anunaki ,the nehilims and illuminati were their descendents ,and all the depictios of Satan were based on them (the Anunaki reptilian alien race ) all devils ,demons and Satan have reptilian features

What is Satan was the good guy? And yahweh (the evil one) has been feeding believers lies about him being the good one and all believers end up in a lake of fire in 'Heaven'?

It would be indeed, but that's no reason not to believe in God. Because if that theory is correct, oops, we all go to hell, but there's no choice. If it's wrong, and there is a God... You go to hell for not believing. ^_^

Than you're screw and there is nothing you can do about it. Might as well enjoy life while you got it, before you go to hell.

So, your eyes are finally opening.
You are coming awake, are you?
Soon you will realize that those around you are the blind leading the blind.
