If you accept the fact that Satan is a creation of God, a lesser being, an entity spiritual, disembodied and supernatural, and the fact that God is all-knowing, both for future and past, has planned it all right from the start up to the final day of the judgement, then it's logical to say that Satan can not and has never done *anything* that God hasn't foreseen and carefully planned all along. Then, Satan, in a way, only does the president's bidding and always helps the advancement of God's One True Plan for all beings and the Creation. Now, if you don't accept and hold the original axioms as true, then this is an entirely different thing, which I'm neither fit to discuss or very interested to waste everyone's bandwidth about either. - Giorgos
