He gets kinky sometimes.
It's his sadistic side coming out.
I believe the Bible simply says he raises up those he will, he destroys whom he will, for who is there like God?
Who indeed? Power always corrupts!

Simple. It's because of Free Will. (we learned about this on Sunday). Okay so no one really knows why He created us. But, say you built a robot. And there was a whole bunch of buttons on the robot. He can jump, play, sing, dance, and speak Chinease. One of the buttons says "love me". So you press it and he comes over and gives you a hug. Do you feel very happy? Maybe a little, but knowing that you forced and built him to do this isn't very pleasing because it is what Bob the Robot was supposed to do in the first place. You don't know if he really loves you or not because he was just doing what he was told. So in order for us to choose God, he needed to make another choice besides God, you follow me? If you wanted Bob the Robot to choose a hamburger, you had to give him a hot dog too so he would be making a choice over the hot dog if he ate the hamburger. You follow me? That is what God did. He needed to make something other than God, so you would be choosing to love God and he could be pleased. There ya go.

Satan was an archangel that was cast out of heaven for leading a revolt of the angels against god. God didnt make satan to be evil.

The same reason He made everything and everybody - for His glory! Satan was not originally evil, he was an angel who chose to disobey God and was therefore cast out of heaven and became evil. No matter what he does or tries to do, he will never be more powerful than God

I am not a Christian, but IF I remember the story correctly...I believe it was something to the effects of, Satan was once one of the Archangels (then named Lucifer), but he raised a revolt in Heaven because he felt that he deserved to reign alongside if not above God. Because he attempted to go against God, instead of being destroyed he was condemned to Hell. As far as I know it is never quite clarified that he is necessarily the ruler in Hell; there are some stories that say he is actually tortured there as are the other souls that end up there. But other stories I've heard say that he adopted the "it's better to rule in Hell than serve in Heaven" mentality.

He didn't "make Satan". He made angels, glorious beings of great beauty and goodness. But, He endowed these creatures, just as He does with us, with the gift of free will. We can use this gift to love and worship God, and to exist with Him in eternal glory, or to reject God and spend eternity living the effects of that rejection. The angels had the same choice. Some of them rejected God, freely choosing to turn themselves into something evil and hideous. Satan was not created. He came into existence by the perversion of something wonderful God had created.

To serve a pupose, To be made overseerer of his angels. and to keep order,so God could finish his work. Whatever that may have been. Just like parents do. they higher of the two, give control over the other, to make sure things get done. while they take care of the other task ,they need to get done. Just as one sibling oversees the other, they are given authority, over them for a short period, until the parents can take care of the problem. Because they have other things that need get done. Just as children rebel against their parents. After a while they get tired of doing what they are ask to do, because it is taking their time away from ,what they would ike to do. So they start questioning their parents authority, and by doing so, get punished ,in the process, for disobeying.

Satan was an angel who used to be called Lucifer. The angels have free will. Lucifer decided he was going to uprise against God, so God kicked him out of heaven.
God created people. Adam and Eve loved God unconditionally. But they were like robots in the fact that they loved God because God was all they knew. They didn't have a choice. God wanted people to love Him because they chose to, not because they were made to. So He allowed Satan to enter the garden of eden as a serpent.
This allowed Adam and Eve to have free will. Free will to choose to follow God or to do as God told them not to. They listened to the serpent and sinned against God. That's why years later, God sent His son Jesus to die on the cross for our sins, so that way we wouldn't have to spend eternal life in death. Because of what Jesus did for us, if we accept Him into our lives, we can now spend eternal life in heaven with God instead.
There's a reason for everything God does. His ways are perfect and holy. He wants no one to love Him because they have to. He wants us to love Him because we choose to.
Hope this helps! God bless..

well we could also say God is all knowing so why make humans also as he knew they were going to sin, why make this world we live in and why make heaven and hell
It's all about testing his creation, He is the Almighty the All knowing, but he will test his creation and reward them accordingly.

he didn't "make" Satan. he made angels with freewill and one angel decided to use his freewill to do bad and became Satan the devil, he wasn't created Satan the devil
