What's the deal with Satan? Why is he allowed to hang out and make bets with God? Is he really a rebellious fallen angel or he some shmuck doing an assigned job?

God and Satan are actually 2 beings that are diametric opposites, God being the good and Satan being the evil, and have existed for eternity. So this is just schizobabble mythology.

Satan is a job title. There's a Satan working for YHWH that hangs out and makes bets with him. There's also Azazel/Samyaza who is a Satan working for Lucifer.

Good cannot exist without bad, for both are dependent on their being opposites.
Just as something hot cannot exist without there also being something cold to compare it to, God cannot exist as the embodiment of good without there being something to embody bad.

It is a childish idea however, to believe that God is truly opposed to Satan, or that Satan is truly opposed to God. They are both intelligent beings and would undoubtedly understand the dependency they have on eachother.
Yin and Yang are not just eastern ideas, they are true ideas, and they describe the true nature of God and Satan.

> God needs Satan
Yeah, and light needs darkness to exist, right? Except no, dumbass, darkness is just the absence of light. Good isn’t defined by evil, evil is the corruption of good. God doesn't need Satan any more than a painter needs vandals to define art.

Find the word "Satan" in the Bible. You cannot.

Job 2:4
“Skin for skin!” Satan replied. “A man will give all he has for his own life.

If I was Satan I would pretend to be God. I would probably pick a small tribe of people and tell them that they are chosen out of all the world and that I will raise them above all the nations. That one of their own would reign as a mighty world ruler. Knowing that the world desires justice above all else, I would appeal to people as a God of law and order. I would convince my tribe to follow a set of laws and command them to worship no one else but me. I would order my priests to write an elaborate history depicting me as the master of the universe alongside a set of historical events written as ancient prophecies. Then I would "fulfill" some of the fabricated prophecies and spread my name throughout the world, promising redemption from my impending wrath. I would create a massive buildup of anticipation over centuries for the fulfillment of the prophecy of the chosen ruler. And I would intentionally divide everyone who believes in my message to fight and kill each other.
