Why would god create a creature which had the ability to turn on him and who was powerful enough to be extremely hard for him to defeat?
Sounds fucking retarded tbqhwy
Christian depiction of Satan is fanfic-tier
Try actually reading the Bible, I don't think you understand the concept of the devil

God could destroy evil in every form in an instant if he wanted to, but then the entire idea of giving humans free will and the ability to choose good or evil would be gone. God wants followers and believers not just slaves

The bible in general reads like one of my japanese animes.
God wants lovers, Not slaves

If God wants free will why would he command us to live a certain way and blackmail us with eternal suffering?

Because we can still choose good or evil. Plenty of people have known what evil brings and still choose it. Also if you really read what Jesus says about hell you'll realize the greatest suffering it offers is knowing you cannot be with God in his kingdom because of the choices you made
Christianity is not a dualist religion. Satan is not the "evil" equivalent of God.

But it's not about good or evil, you can murder, rape, steal etc. But if you believe in the Bible you'll still go to hell. The bible spells this shit out and even props up the illogical idea of a original sin. The bible along a with a every other religious text is written by sociopaths.
It's far more likely if there was a god that he wouldn't communicate or interact with humanity at all (that includes writing religious books or having "prophets")
