Assuming a devil actually existed, and assuming an omnipotent creator-god existed, then a devil would have had to have been created by that god. And if that god is truly omnipotent, then he/she/it/they created that devil as it is on purpose.
Blaming a devil for anything while excusing that god for the same thing would be like blaming a dummy but not the ventriloquist.

I guess it is balance the good against the bad, light and darkness; Anyway satan wants to take as much souls as he can and in orther to do that he has to go against God.

satan fell because of pride. he desired to be God, not to be a servant of God. notice the many "i will..." statements in isaiah 14:12-15. ezekiel 28:12-15 describes satan as an exceedingly beautiful angel. satan was likely the highest of all angels, the most beautiful of all of God's creations, but he was not content in his position. instead, satan desired to be God, to essentially "kick God off his throne" and take over the rule of the universe. satan wanted to be God, and interestingly enough, that is what satan tempted adam and eve with in the garden of eden

why is there even a devil? if god is this omnipotent being,then why did he have to create Satan? if he knows everything then he knew that this angel was gonna fall and stab him in the back! and now he will come back to fight the fallen angel? it sounds to me like a fishy story!

because he said in his heart, I will be like the Most High God. and God knowing this, stripped satan's title from him.
satan hates God, but how do you fight a God? you destroy that which He loves... human kind. that is why he is attacking us, because he knows it is hurting God.
but thank God we're untouchable through the salvation of Jesus Christ. i pray that you know Him if you don't.
