>but that is simple spite not a victory

What I was thinking is that the victory would be in changing God's trajectory, changing his plan. It's a long shot, but if Satan convinced God to change his strategy or doctrine, I think he would see that as a victory. Spiting him by influencing his creation to damn itself would not be a victory. It would only be a victory IFF He convinced God to redeem these people and change his ways.

Of course, this is projecting a lot onto the character of Satan, and any primary text on this subject would be highly biased against such a reading, so textual evidence will be hard to find. Then again, any primary Satanic texts probably won't support this either, because I'm pretty sure most satanists don't believe this.

I guess what I'm saying is, if you are suspicious of what the bible says, you could read this between the lines and create a plot consistent with what the bible says but critical of the bible's interpretation of events, but it requires a very different perspective from what is suggested to be the correct perspective within the bible.

I mean, basically, like other people said higher up, it doesn't make sense why Satan would try to oppose an omnimax being. He would know from the start that he would lose. The only plausible motivation would be more deceptive, which fits his character as portrayed in the bible, and it seems like the only kind of victory that Satan could maybe win.
