Don't be so sure of that.
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.

The Devil is 100% against GOD. Now it depends on how you feel about GOD as to your opinion of him.

Not only does the devil hate God...but he creates many, many false gods to deceive us and to keep us from the love and mercy of the one true God...and salvation thru His Son, Jesus.

Yes. Jesus called the devil a manslayer and a liar.

According to the Bible, God performed much worse acts than Satan did.

they are just opposites to each other.
you hate some people too, don't you ? so what is the difference then? everyone sins now and then, we all know that. we make the choice to follow him or Jesus, what happen to you is your own doing.

Hate is a very strong word. After all, his name means adversary, not opposition

well, it depends on how you look at it. like of it like this, i know this kid who is always useing girls right, so i **** with this kids head constantly. now, even though i think im a good guy i could say "am i evil?" and he would say yes. so it depends on how you look at it, for all we know god could really be satan, you know what i mean.
