If God is a good god, why did he create satan who is thought to be Bad?, It makes no sense. What connection does Satan, the prince of darkness, have with the italian sun god, Lucifer, italians still worship him, but not as Satan, I keep reading so many books, that Lucifer is not satan at all, just a misunderstanding.
Would God do something that foolish? Create someone so bad.

How do we know that Satan is come kind of Hoax? I agree that Lucifer isnt satan, Neither is Pan, But I think satan played a positive role in society. If it werent for the concept of Sata, there wouldnt be any morals, there wouldnt be any balance.
The world dosent exist without BOTH the positive forces and the negative forces. In other words, God is nothing without Satan and Satan is nothing without God, Maybe God wanted to create balance in nature so he created Satan. But satan is too busy playing tricks on people to know his purpose of existance.

See Revelation 4:11
"Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honor and power; for Thou hast created all things, and for Thy pleasure they are and were created.
Even Satan was created by God for His pleasure, Satan is a child of God.
Read in Ezekiel 28:12 about the king of Tyrus
another name for Satan to see the beauty Satan was originally created as and continue down to verse 19 to see his destruction predicted.

I have some interesting information here I found at a website called Watchtower.org. It brought out that all of God's works are perfect; he is not the author of unrighteousness so he did not create anyone wicked.(Deut. 32:4; Ps. 5:4) The one who became Satan was originally a perfect spirit son of God. When saying that the Devil "did not stand fast in the truth," Jesus indicated that at one time that one was "in the truth." (John 8:44) But, as is true of all of God's intelligent creatures, this spirit son was endowed with free will. He abused his freedom of choice, allowed feelings of self-importance to develop in his heart, began to crave worship that belonged only to God, and so enticed Adam and Eve to listen to him rather than obey God. Thus by his course of action he made himself Satan, which means "adversary." I hope this has answered your question and you have a nice day!

Satan is the original sinner. He was perfect in beauty and enormous in power and wisdom. At some point he despised his position next to God and lusted after the place of God. Satan corrupted his wisdom for the sake of splendor. The Lord cast him to the ground where he weakened nations.
Much of the horror of the Tribulation directly results from satan's desire to supplant God and to be worshiped as God. Satan is the guiding force behind the pagan religions of the world, according to the apostle Paul (1 Cor 10:20 NIV).
Satan's ultimate goal is to be worshiped.
Jesus called satan a "liar and the father of lies" in whom is no truth, and a "murderer from the beginning" (John 8:44).
Any god other than God in Heaven is a pagan god, demonic in creation and use.
Here are the names of satan:
1. great red dragon; motivating force behind much of the world's bloodshed; vicious destroyer
2. old serpent
3. devil; means slanderer or accuser
4. satan; adversary, the enemy of all God's people
5. prince of the power of the air
6. ruler of this world
Satan is a brutally strong, immensely intelligent spirit being who is consumed by intense hatred for God and all that belongs to Him. And yet he is not God's rival. The Bible has no place for the eastern idea of two opposite but equal forces in the world, one good and one bad. Although satan was created as the pinnacle of all God's works, he is still infinitely below God Almighty. And although human history has been a contest between the forces of good led by God and the forces of evil led by satan, there has never been any doubt about how it will all turn out. Jesus wins!
God is not foolish!

Without temptation, how would you know your will is free? If you never had the chance to choose how would you know that you were not a bonded slave? God knew that we needed temptation to feel free in our choices and He also knew that Judas would betray Jesus, but without the betrayal there would be no sacrifice and no sacrifice is no redemption.
Think it through and pray about it. You will see the truth of it.

I also wonder that too. Also Eve, who ate fruit off of the tree they weren't suppose to. Why did he put the temptation there?

This is a typical mess if you take the Bible verses too literally.
This is the common problem of Bible fundamentalists.
