Destroying the tower of Babel was a jealous act, no question about it -- he hated the idea of a united humanity accomplishing TOO much.
God wanted to have some fun toying with Abraham by seeing if he'd butcher his son.
God killed millions of innocent babies during the Great Flood.
Satan appears completely outclassed!

You are most certainly correct. Therefore, I argue that God must not exist.

Satan's fall was and is still yet his PRIDE. He wanted to be exalted above God.
So he when he was thrown out of heaven, he chose man to be manipulated. He led men to build things against God. The tower of Babel was made with Idolatry in mind. Abraham's hand was steadied by the Arch Angel to not kill his son, but as a test of his Faith. So that God could show that man is cruel yet He is not. The flood was provided to show that only Noah's family wasn't corrupted. The million's of "Innocent" babies must not have been, for God would have spared them, and maybe He DID!!
SO if you please rephrase your ramblings to show that Satan was the cause of the sins you listed above. His hand has been in everything man has done for centuries.And will continue to be as long as people like you portray him as the victim!
You are wrong! Read the bible and you will see your folly.

God cannot be evil or do evil. He is perfect and is love and is truth. Evil is the absence of God, just as cold is the absence of heat. If you study the scriptures you will learn why God had to destroy evil people in order to protect the human race. Satan was once a good and beautiful angel who became jealous and vain and lead a rebellion against God. Don't forget God's ways and His thoughts are much higher than man's.

Satan doesn't actually do anything but 'tempt' JC in the NT. In the Book of Job, he does some pretty horrid things to Job...with God's permission, of course.
Compared to what God does in the OT, Satan doesn't even come close!
PS: Don't forget all the children that died in the Exodus story. They didn't have a chance. Their lives were based on the decision of one man, regardless if their parents even agreed with him.

Eze 28:13 Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created.
Eze 28:14 Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.
Eze 28:15 Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee.

1- Satan is evil, ALL ON HIS OWN
2- God did not destroy the tower because humans wanted to be unified- it was because they wanted to reach God, by their pride.
3- Abraham's faith was strong enough to trust God, even when He asked him to sacrifice his son. Abraham could have said no to God
4- About the Great flood= I know that it is hard to understand why God did that, however if He really wanted to , He did not have to save anyone- you notice life continued- when we deserve death.

Give to a good man all the power he needs to eradicate evil and before he is done you will wonder why evil switched sides.

Our God is Great. I really think you are seeking answers that I am not prepared to answer but I can tell you this.
My God is REAL.. and sometimes he allows things to happen to get our attention. He loved us so much that he allowed his own son to die for our sins... How many of us could let our own child be tortured and hung up to die for someone else?? Not me.
Our God is merciful...Satan is not and he would love for you to believe your last sentence. I will pray for you now even though I am sure you wish that I would not.Please continue to search for these answeres that you have.
There is a verse,,, someone else can tell you which scripture it is because I am not sure where it can be found but it says " Seek ye first the kingdom of God and its rightousness and it shall be revealed unto you. Continue seeking please.
Good Luck to you. I hope we meet one day in heaven. :)

Satan learned everything from God, according to the Bible. Why? He had no free will. God had to queue up commands for everything he did: falling, being evil, claiming souls, etc. Angels had no free will whatsoever, and Lucifer was no exception.

Satan sought worship that was due ONLY to God. Worship is thankfulness for God giving us life.
In this Satan does not qualify.
So no worship was DUE to him.
Worship can also include OBEDIENCE.
Satan himself did not want to comply.

Isa 45:7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these [things].
so ... yep.
PS. i always find it weird when Christians thumbs down their holy scriptures. i know they like to say that their god is all goodness and in no way evil (see sha sha & William D) but their holy book, the inerrant word of their god, says otherwise.
