If he is, then that would explain why he's able to wreak so much havoc in our lives.
If he isn't, then God allows - and therefore, tacitly condones - Satan's shenanigans, right?

Satan has his pokey-pokey thing, and can absorb unlimited power from gay people having sex.

God is far more powerful than Satan. It is Satan wanting to be more powerful than God that got him kicked out of heaven in the first place.
Yes, God does allow Satan to do some things. A good example of this can be found in the book of Job. This is far different from God condoning evil. There are times when bad things happen to us so we can learn from them and we can turn our life back to God.
There are times when we are so blind and deaf to his calls to us, that he gets our attention through various struggles that appear in our life. God does not like this to happen, but he loves us so much, that he wants all men to be saved. He needs to be just at the same time.

No, God is all-powerful. Satan is just a fallen angel sentenced to the lake of eternal fire, awaiting his judgment. You apparently missed much of the message of God's Word that tells of the Christ, satan spiritual warfare that's been going on since the fall of Lucifer. Jesus has already won the battle. Read Genesis and the rest of the Bible. It's facinating. Then you'll understand. God bless

satan is not more powerful than God, because God is the eternal creator, satan is a finite creature. God doesn't condone satan's free-will, but allows it in order to bring about a greater good.

Satan would like you to think so, but he isn't. He is not even close. Jesus has already defeated him at the cross. Satan will be cast into the lake of fire along with all those who have rejected Jesus. Don't worry. God is in control and He will get rid of Satan in his own time, not yours.

GOD turns sinners over to Satan, to sift them. Until they know the difference between right or wrong. Much more happens than just that .
If swearing, you might get put amongst more who swear , = If Satan reflects your wrongs YOUR aware , causeing change.

No. I know because when I choose to follow Satan I have that much less power than when I chose to follow god. Try it out for yourself!

If satan was more powerful than God I don't think we would be having this conversation.

We have enough sin in our very Adamic natures to destroy the earth without the help of Satan.If you read the first chapter of Job ,you'll see he does nothing without permission ,that is, I mean to believers.He's a created being and not the Yin and Yang,push me -pull me,light and dark of paganisim. He is not God's opposite equal.

No, he is not. Satan likes to think he's more powerful than God.

A better question would be is Spiderman stronger than Batman? I'd guess Spiderman would win, but the caped crusader certainly has lots of cool gadgets on that utility belt of his.
