Its an interesting concept after all what ever happened to "turn the other cheek" & "forgive and forget". They do lead by example.

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, no offense. but that was already attempted. and if you read the Bible you would know that. also that is not something you should joke about. anybody who doesn't think they exist needs to take a minute to read the Bible. you would be amazed to see all the stuff predicted that has come true. anybody that says they don't exist has a big surprise coming. One last thing... God doesn't send you to hell. you basically choose to go there. God wanted us to make our own choice to believe. if he was going to control us like robots there would be no point in dying for us. it is your choice to believe. just know there are no atheists in Hell. if you know what i mean.

Neither exist. They are both control mechanisms invented by extremely intelligent people to manipulate less fortunate and intelligent people.

if God is so forgiving, he should forgive Satan and stop sending people to hell like a big jerk
