Because he kicked Adam and Eve out of Eden for learning. Because he murdered 99.999% of all mamalls in a great flood. He also killed many millions in 10 deadly plagues. He also killed all of the first born cute babies of Egypt because their parents exercised their right of free will. To top it all off, he killed Lot's wife for being curious.
Oops, maybe I misunderstood the term "good".

I know that God is good because man is totally depraved. If the Lord never intervened in anyone's life, then we would simply get what we deserve and we wouldn't have anything to say about it.

Depends on your definition of "God" and "goodness". What is a christian by the way? I hate classifications.

Who else would suffer the pains of Calvary for you. Who else forgives any sin if you ask him. Who else loves you unconditionally even tho you rarely return that love. Who else keeps you saved tho you never deserve it. Only Jesus

Because of his unsound reasoning, Satan saw man as the main cause of his humiliation. Thus, he asked Allah for an amount of time to be able to mislead man, and thus, to take revenge upon him. His aim is to lead man away from the straight path, and by that, to make him rebellious towards Allah. It hurt his pride to see man exalted above him, and himself humbled. The story of Satan is related in the Qur' an as follows:
He (Allah) said, "What prevented you from prostrating when I commanded you to?"
He (Iblis) replied, "I am better than him. You created me from fire and You created him from clay."
He (Allah) said, "Descend from Heaven. It is not for you to be arrogant in it. So get out! You are one of the abased."
He (Iblis) said, "Grant me a reprieve until the day they are raised up."
He (Allah) said, "You are one of the reprieved."
He (Iblis) said, "By Your misguidance of me, I will lie in ambush for them on your straight path. Then I will come at them, from in front of them and behind them, from their right and from their left. You will not find most of them thankful." (Surat al-A' raf: 12-17)
In the aftermath of this pledge, Iblis initiated his struggle against man. Within the time granted to him, he would employ any means to prevent mankind from Allah' s way, and to make them follow him. As a matter of fact, the Qur' an informs us that many follow Satan, and thus, are reduced to the lowest of the low. Since that time, Iblis has misled many and made them side with him. Aside from man, he has also had many followers among the jinn.

They haven't got a clue.
It's just wishful thinking. God and the devil are just one.
