It seems to me, such as practically any other major part of the Bible or Christianity, Satan contradicts their idea of God. If nothing exists outside of God, then God made and or controls Satan. Every despicable act Satan performs is directly from God. Nothing exists outside of God, yet there is evil, so God created evil; does this not make him an evil God? Saying anything is outside of God or performs outside or against the will of God is to refute his currently believed existence.
Besides, why would an all loving God give you free will, still know what you will do (which means there is no free will), and punishes you for what he made you do?
I like what Matt Dillahunty said once: Something like, "We're told that there's a good one here (A: God), and an evil one over here (B: Satan). Then we're told this good one created us and loves us infinitely, and the evil one over there is trying to steal our soul... Well what if it's the other way around? What if A is the trickster and B is just sitting back waiting for you to figure it out?
