You're probably being sarcastic, but curious what about the accuser do you like?

I obviously don't believe in a literal Satan but I like that he fought against arbitrary authority and engaged in a battle he knew he couldn't win for what he believed. That takes guts, he's like the original martyr before Jesus

Lucifer, Prometheus, maybe Loki and Coyote, etc. all are cast as bad and evil for interfering with the Gods plans for man. They gave Man fire, knowledge and the idea of self-determination over slavish devotion to their alleged Creators.

They are the Good Guys in my book. Look how evil Christians and Muslims, et al, actually are!
