Nowhere is Satan ever condemned for:
>Inflicting unnecessary suffering
>Exploiting the weak
>Acting unjustly toward innocents
He is instead condemned for:
>Refusal to worship
>Refusal to submit to unilateral authority
>Assertion of moral and existential autonomy
When did you realize Satan is really the true hero in Christian theology?

You like so many others probably thought this adolescent romanticism was clever. The claim “nowhere is Satan condemned for exploiting the weak or harming innocents” is just plainly, factually incorrect. Satan isn't condemned for asking questions or refusing blind obedience, but for pride, deception and the deliberate destruction of others. That you don't understand the difference says a lot, but not about Christianity.

For his next trick, he will argue that Judas heroically sacrificed himself to fulfill prophecy. I'll proactively refute any notion of Judas being good.
>He did not say this because he cared about the poor but because he was a thief; as keeper of the money bag, he used to help himself to what was put into it

Flee the ramblings of hillmen spawned from civilization's outcasts and criminals.
Remember that there are no mentions of Jews or the Torah prior to Alexandria in third century bce
Christ was the first Jewish subversive.

Christians posit that pride is the deadliest of all sins and Satan's great sin was pride.
The idea is that pride is a turning inward that makes a person cold to others. The coldness then allows them to inflict suffering and exploit others without justification or remorse.
You should unironically watch Revenge of the Sith it's a masterful adaptation of a Satan origin story.

Anakin doesn't really exploit much in RotS rather he is exploited himself, but obviously he later exploits an entire empire as Darth Vader.
Anakin in the prequels is pre-fall angel Lucifer and Vader is Satan realized but it's clear that pride is the crucial factor that causes the fall. Pride is what enables him to do evil things and RotS is more so showing the chain of destruction that pride creates.
