Satan Devil or Myth?

Satan, also known as the Devil or Lucifer, is a figure that appears in various religious and mythological traditions. In Christianity, Satan is often depicted as a fallen angel who rebelled against God and was cast out of heaven. He is seen as the embodiment of evil and temptation, working to lead humans away from God and toward sin. In Islamic tradition, Satan, known as Iblis, refused to bow down to Adam and was away from the path of righteousness. In other mythological traditions, Satan is often portrayed as a trickster figure or a symbol of rebellion against authority. He is sometimes associated with themes of chaos, darkness, and the underworld. I've never invoked or evoked Satan so I wouldn't know of any similarities or differences between Lucifer and Satan I just can't see them as one and the same. To me, they give the impression of very different archetypes, or Demons if you prefer. I view or see Satan to be the same malevolent as Sorath where whereas Lucifer's power is strong, it gives me the impression it's tests, learning, and lessons, not punishment the way I see Satan to be, at least when I hear the name. Let's view what S. Connolly thinks. So far she views Satan as a sge wise man with Silver hair and black eyes. His eyes have been described as seeing nothing and seeing all. 

Satan is seen as an agent subservient to God, typically regarded as a metaphor for the "yetzer hara", or evil inclination. In Christianity and Islam, he is usually seen as a fallen angel or jinn who has rebelled against God, who nevertheless allows him temporary power over the fallen world and a host of demons. In the Quran, Shaitan, also known as Iblis, is an entity made of fire who was cast out of heaven because he refused to bow before the newly created Adam and incites humans to sin by infecting their minds with "evil suggestions". What do you think about Satan? How do you perceive him as, or is he mere fiction for Christian lies?
