First of all, Christian theology is more complicated than that. God and Satan are the two opposing forces. Until the end of days, God can't exist without Satan and Satan can't exist without God because they represent the good and the bad. Without both of these forces, the world would be out of balance and Man would have no free will which would make doing the right thing and believing in God meaningless. Second, you're about dumb enough to be a Christian. Good job.
Why does God let Satan exist? If he destroys Satan, no on would tempt us to sin, right? This is what proper grammar looks like. If you're older than six, you should be ashamed of yourself for wasting such a brilliant public school education.

Satan will be punished one day. Since the sin nature is in man, I believe if Satan were destroyed, man would become sinless. It is all in Gods plan and time.

good cant exist without evil. even if it could, would you want to keep living? sure, all the big crimes would go away... murders, rapes, wars... but so would the smaller ones that make life more interesting. celebrity break-ups, news reports on shoplifting, etc. you might say that's good too, but the point im trying to make is... life would be very boring if there was no one doing bad things. ask yourself why you slow down while driving by an accident. curious? nope, if evil didnt exist, there wouldnt be anything happening for you to be curious about.

Some believe that God does that as a test to humans, which is interesting since God made us, so if we are weak and succumb to Satan's will, isn't it because God made us too weak?
Well, anyway, that is the answer.

Satan and God are just figures in religious mythology. Neither one really exists.

some human beings mistakenly imagine that devil is the anti-God. they imagine he's all-sensible (omnipotent), is everywhere (omnipresent) and is often used with each and every thing (omniscience). this isn't real. devil is more desirable sensible than people yet he would not even evaluate to God's skill. devil is a creature (as is guy). he's the chief of the fallen angels. CS Lewis states that devil is more desirable like the anti-Michael than an anti-God. he's in a position to do the damage that he does in elementary words because God facilitates him to do it. sometime (the 2d Coming of Christ) God the daddy will placed his foot down and could completely placed an end to devil's reign over the earth. till then we may be able to anticipate many evil issues to ensue. there are quite some motives that God facilitates them. now and again he turns us over to our sins to attempt to pressure us to "the bottom" so we will be forced as an example to Christ for alleviation. Evil in the global contrasts the sturdy in God, which ought to real pressure us to Christ. Evil is a effect of our personal evil (cyclical damaging cycle). there are quite some motives although the point is continuously to pressure us to Christ.
