Hi TT, (please take this with a grain of salt, you know we don't actually believe)

I've seen this kind of thing referenced before, and it does have an interesting point. If you look at the bible what kind of harm does satan actually do? He whispers in a few peoples ears... that's pretty much it.

What kind of harm does God do? Genocide, over and over again. God commits, or orders others to commit, many attrocities in the bible and yet he is supposed to be the good guy. Would you trust a guy who told you to FEAR and love him or else?

Oh no, it goes beyond 'what harm does he do?'... Look at Job. Satan checks w/God about Job. All the bad things that happen to Job happen directly at God's direction. Satan never acts w/out God's approval.

I've asked this question dozens of times, but no theist, Christian or otherwise, has been able to answer: why should I fear God?
