Do we have satan to thank for all the nice stuff we have in life?
If he didn't convince eve to eat the apple we would be walking around naked in a forest, and we wouldnt have computers, cell phones and all the other cool stuff we have today. So is Satan kind of the good guy here?
Edit- @Owen, Wouldnt eternal life be kind of boring, if there's no obstacles in life then what's the point?

"Satan" exists only to scare people into believing in Christianity.

NO! Satan misled Eve by implying something not true. That she would NOT die if she ate the fruit( type of fruit not said) Gen 2:17, 3:1-5. Because Adam&Eve were created perfect,w/o sin, they had no reason to be concerned or ashamed that they were naked, that did not hinder them in any way- much like a young child walking around naked in innocence, the child does not feel bad or ashamed until its bought to its attention in a negative way. Adam & eve used their free will God gave them to do wrong, they disobeyed ( sinned) now, in this negative circumstance they were guilty and felt ashamed of their nakedness. Gen3:2-6,8-13 If they had stayed loyal to Jehovah God they no doubt would have continued to live right down to our day, and if puny, sinful and diseased man can come up with " cool stuff" today, most assuredly a society of healthy perfect sinless people who would have God's blessing can.. And do it w/o all the glitches...all while being naked! Satan is NO "good guy!"

Satan wouldn't know good or cool if it bit him in the butt. He can't create. He can only twist and destroy. Thank God for the technology we have today. Satan didn't have anything to do with it! It was God who gave us the ability to make computers and cell phones!

nope, Adam and Eve would have lived forever; put when they ate the apple originally a fig in the story they where doomed to suffer, feel pain, work,and suffer the first death; the death of flesh. Satan is doomed to suffer the second death, the death of his soul; he will no longer exist.

We can thank God our Creator for our life.
Satan is responsible for the crime, violence, wars, famine, and selfish behavior that came when Adam and Eve broke God's law, due to Satan's lie to them. Worst of all, with sin came death.
Computers, cell phones, etc are not the result of sin, but the result of the mind that God gave all of us, and so Satan is not the cause of our having our mind -- again, that is from God.
(Psalm 139:14) I shall laud you because in a fear-inspiring way I am wonderfully made. Your works are wonderful, As my soul is very well aware.

If you keep on telling yourself that, then he would have won, in the end.
