The following is from a question I asked last week.
============================
I've seen everything from Buddhism to fossils attributed to Satan. Satan's domains, I take it, are skepticism, pleasure, and anarchy.

God, on the other hand, is supposed to be the creator of the universe. His domains are blind faith, asceticism, and servitude.
============================

One answerer claimed that this was inaccurate; that my portrayal of God as the God of faith, humility, and servitude was an incorrect one, intentionally created by a patriarchal society in order to benefit the elite and subvert the common man. My gut reaction is that this doesn't follow most interpretations of the Bible, but maybe I'm wrong.

In your eyes, does God endorse skepticism, pleasure, and freedom? Or does he demand servitude, faith, and self-denial of earthly pleasure?

Satan is easy to figure out: He wants to kill you. He want to deceive you. And he will do so by whatever means necessary.

Satan did not create anything.

Ergo, he could not make fossils.

God only wants one thing: Fellowship with you. However, you have sin in you so he can not fellowship with you. Therefore, He sent Jesus to die for your sins.

Being a loving God, He will not force you to do anything - including accepting the gift of redemption by way of Jesus.

All you have to do is ask for it. There are no other rules, regulations, things you HAVE to give up.

Once you have accepted Jesus as Savior, you will want to stop sinning on your own. But having to do so is not on the list. Jesus will give you the power to overcome sin in your life.
