True Satanists see Satan as the giver of knowledge and provider of free will.
If you remember the story of Adam and Eve, God wanted his humans to live like animals, dumb and slavish to his will. God forbid humans to eat of the tree of knowedge and theirfore they were to be stupid, and have no choice. This was god's plan.
The serpent tempted Eve, and the rest is history.
Without the serpent, mankind would still be stupid slaves. It was Satan that gave human's the gift of intellegence and the ability to decide right from wrong.
I find it ironic that the Christian, Jewish, and Islamic churchs all agree that without choice, following god is meaningless. A person has to choose to follow god. This means that the greates part of a person's faith was provided not by god, but by Satan. This means with out Satan, faith is meaningless.
Therefor, Satan is good.
