    Technically, Satan is a creation of God. Otherwise christianism would be polytheistic. So even if you consider Satan as the good guy, God is still responsible for both good and evil.

      Christianity is has almost always been so dangerously close to polytheism that it’s laughable it isn’t considered to be.

      It’s just bureaucracy at this point, I guess it’s not polytheism if you lower everyone to “middle manager god”

      In the story of the Tree of Knowledge, the serpent old the truth while god lied.

      Between the two of them, only God kills in the bible, and boy he does it a LOT

      Not even technically, just 100% that. God created the angels, Lucifer is an angel. In practice, many Christians practice a polytheistic religion in which Satan is the bad god.
