i was thinking :) and it seems to me that you cannot have god at all 
without having satan. if you believe in god as the supreme good, that 
makes him different from something else, his power has a different effect 
and different feel than something else..by putting a label on this 
"power", or even simply by noticing the difference, we actually force into 
existance a negative or "evil" force. woithout good there would be no evil 
and vice versa. because if the world was "good" (which is totally 
impossible anyway :) ) how would you know of evil? and if you didn't know 
of evil, you wouldn't be able to say this is good. 
mankind will always have its degenerate, unappealing factorsthat don't 
measure up to whatever moral code is in place, and those factors will be 
deemed as evil. change the moral code and what is now seen as evil might 
be acceptable and perhaps even viewed as good.
