At least Satan doesn't kill millions of people.

Yes he does.

The Biblical Satan is a metaphor for mankind's innate desire to rebel against tyranny, malicious or benign. Big FF.

No, this is what Satan is a metaphor for in His Dark Materials. The Biblical Satan is a Javert-like prosecutor of humanity in a sort of divine court.

That adequately describes the Old Testament Satan, but not the New Testament/Enochian versions written after Jewish theology had been affected by exposure to Mithraic dualism during the Babylonian captivity.

True, but it's not like the New Testament version is particularly interested in human moral freedom either. Maybe the Enochian versions are, but those versions are not "Biblical".

In the supernatural world, GOD is considered to us humans as an alien, who is in control of death. They may not be a Satan. Secular faith call Jesus as the Angel of Death. Its unfair to us humans, that our loved ones lives are cut short.

Can't argue with that!
