In the thought that not all is good or all is bad I would say that you are right. But I think of it this way... If you have a glass of water and it is clean and pure an you put only two or for that matter even one drop of poison in it, would you drink it? So it is with people they might not be a full glass of poison but it won't take a whole glass to kill you, just a drop. And god is the best exaple of good that we have. So we would never be able to rightly accuse someone who is so much better then us as humans. Not killing Satan right after he rebeled was the best thing that could have been done. Because if he did then the rest of the angles an humans at the time may have doubted god's motive in doing so. Killing anyone who gets in your way causes fear. Therefor people would not have served him because they love him, but out of fear of death. Even if Satan was good would you want to be on the loseing side if god is the most powerful force in all existince then why would you want to go against him? I can not make you chose to serve one or the other but the best thing you can do is chose the lesser of the poisons in all you do.

God and the Devil are both a bit evil
by Bas ini'd like to think of god and satan as the same power...if you like, god can be evil and the devil can be good.
it probably doesn't make much sense to you but i think as reality is as grey as it is (and not black/white), then probably the higher power(s) are/is too.
i honestly believe that thinking in terms of devil/god is not very fertile thing to do.
