Going by what the bible says Satan would be a pleasant polite person and God would be a violent psychopath.

Interesting question- Satan is the great deceiver so by looking you could make a mistake- but if you are a true believer , in your heart you would know God , because Christ died so that you could have a personal relationship with God, and because of that, we KNOW GOD!! By the way, God and Satan would never walk hand in hand- Satan knows his future- GOD WINS!!

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.

Very thought provoking question! Your eyes could decieve you because Satan is the great deceiver. Your heart would be able to disern the difference if your heart is with God. Otherwise I think it would be an impossible choice to make.

Satan is a little boy. God is a man.

Satan would have a white carnation on his lapel.

*****************************************
Simply ask them both: "What's going on in my heart, mind, and soul right this minute."
God knows because he can look right into you. Satan doesn't. He doesn't know your heart anymore than a person who knows you very well.
