Maybe this was mentioned somewhere, but I figured this was worth 2 cents... Again.
To the OP, read Von Beck, by Michael Moorcock.
It basically suggests that men's evil deeds are a misunderstanding of the Bible, or a product of their own darkness. In fact, the devil has simply been in woe since his fall from heaven and only serves to do good, as he would hope to seek the ability to speak to god once more.
In doing these things, the devil has saved us from ourselves more than once.
That is over simplifying the book, but at its core, is a fascinating piece of fiction. Check it out.
Alright, going back under my rock.
