But I don't believe that, I believe the God described in the Bible or the Koran is far more evil than the Satan as described in those books because nothing, absolutely nothing, is more evil than torturing somebody for eternity, not even if it's for the crime of eating a apple when told not to.
I've always found it interesting that what God forbade, and what Satan encouraged, was acquiring knowledge, in this case "the knowledge of good and evil". Exactly what a despotic ruler (or priesthood) would want to reserve to himself, the exclusive ability to define what was good and what was bad.
