Still he is often portrayed as the evil counterpart of God, which is as opposite as you will get
I've seen what God "approves of", and I wouldn't call it the opposite of evil.
Maybe God's biggest trick was convincing everyone that Satan is the evil one. ๐ค
That's why God had to release part 2 of the bible, cuz he's such a dick in the first book. Also why Satan rebranded as Santa.

Definitely. I just reasoned that God is the personification of good while Satan is the personification of evil. It is just a shower thought, a word game, so don't give it too much thought :)
