I agree, when God cast him out of Heaven I believe he gave Satan a job as his adversarial opponentAlso, I have suspicion Satan does God's will. God knew he was creating someone who would become his opponent, and God made him anyway.
God could stop him and often doesn't, which tells me God is asking for it.
Question: Is Satan a Deity?
Question: Is Satan a Deity?
My answer: Yes, I believe he is. I believe that Satan is a being who is consubstantial with The Supreme Being. His nature is therefore divine. But he is not to be worshiped as he is not a member of the triune Godhead.

I think Satan really works for God
I think it is up to us to chose to ignore him and focus instead on God
And that that's the challenge we have to overcome

You are right in your opinion, yes.I understand:
Am I right, please?
- There is no triune G-d. Right, please?
- Satan is un-divine. Right, please?
- Satan shares nothing with G-d. Right, please?
- Jesus/Buddha and Krishna also should not be worshiped. Right, please?

Yeah, they do and it's total nonsense. It's like how Wiccans used to claim that it was the "old religion" instead of the truth that it was something made up in the mid 20th century. The Temple of Set is very dogmatic and takes Aquino's alleged channeled texts from "Set" as holy writ.My understanding is that Setians view the Egyptian God, Set as being the earliest depiction of Satan.

In Christianity "he" is definitely deified as almost part of the trinity.
Christianity basically took things through the Madzakite, Sethian and Manichaean lens whether they admit it or not.
For many who lack wisdom, they inevitably turn Satan into God and God into Satan. Or call someone else's "God" Satan.
There are many ironies I could go through with this and hermenutical errors of Christians with both the Tanakh and the New Testament.
What I think though at the end of it, is that Satan is (for most people) actually just a black category that people fill to fit their views. It fills the spot of the perceived 'enemy' which is then turned into a cosmic thing.
Satan however is literally a thing in our minds, it is not an omniscient entity. And it is certainly not God. People never think this stuff through very well. Satan is a virus in our minds, it has no existence outside of it. That is why Satan wrecks so much havoc.
