Well it depends on your view of Satan.
Some view him as an evil s.o.b. who delights in misery. In that case he was probably wanking to the screams of the people God was killing
Some view him as Gods adversary, opposing everything God does. In that case he was probably trying to help those evil humans.
I don't understand how, if Satan is the adversay, he wasn't helping Moses out when Moses was arguing with God about killing the Israelites.

You have to understand, God wasn't commiting the attrocities!!!!! I'm guessing that you're mainly speaking about the plagues during the time of Moses. I'm Catholic, and those worries vanish because we believe that God inspired the Bible, but humans were the actual writers. Depending on the mood of the writer, God seems a tyrant or a loving Father. All our religious truths are still there: in that matter the Bible is unfallible. But, it is not meant to be a history or science textbook. So things like the plagues could have been greatly exaggerated from what really happened, because the writer of Exodus was trying to make a point and make it well, in a way that would have gotten the people to listen. But we believe God is God. He can do no wrong...no matter what anyone says.

Heck Satan was the good guy in the Old Testament the way I see it. He probably did disapprove of God's wanton killing as Satan did so little himself.

I think that Satan as the embodiment of moral virtue had a crisis of conscience over God's barbarism and wickedness.

Satan hates God, and everyting he does, and what do you mean atrocities?

What you call atrocities God calls, "His Perfect Plan". I may not understand it or even, at times, like it but He says it is perfect and we will all understand in the end. I think I will trust Him on this one.

Probably, it doesn't take much to be more compassionate then God.
