...So why do you think the Devil is more evil, and if you don't why?
God, throughout the bible, is portrayed (and I believe He is) as the quintessence of good, while the Devil is portrayed as the quintessence of all things evil. God, before he sent His Son, stated that the wages of sin is death. Many, if not all of his "Genocides, Infanticides, Murder" etc, were before He sent His Son to die for us. The people whom He murdered were seen as sinners, and deserved to die, according to His divine law. Also, (even though this seems to be a paradox, the only things you have to disprove this would be from something you believe to be false, the bible) all evil in this world ASIDE from the acts of "evil" discussed in the bible are attributed to the devil. Of course, in the bible it would seem that more "evil" acts are comitted by God, rather than the devil, because these acts are being stressed as important parts in the history of God. If you compare the few "evil" acts comitted by god in the bible with ALL the other evil that has happened since Creation, which is attributed to the Devil, in my opinion, the Devil seems to be far more evil.
