CMV: Lucifer or the Devil is more of an antihero than a villain

Fyi I'm not a satanist or sumin

In common christian theology the devil is obviously referred to as the incarnation of evil and so on but from what I've read from the bible he seems more like an edgy character who keeps getting f'ed over more than anything.

The main reason why I can tell he is referred to in a negative light is because well hes the devil, but why is he the devil. For those who dont know he was an angel that fell from grace because he disproved of God favoring the humans over his direct children the Angel's. The reason for his disapproval of humans is because they were imperfect and extremely flawed which is true. He proved his point in the bible when he tempered eve with the apple and she took it proving his point and God damned humans with mortality and suffering etc. In return for proving himself correct he was abandoned by his brethren and his father and cast into hell to torment. So god cast out one of his sons to torment humans for eternity and be surrounded by the thing he hates most humans. 

Another negative thing attributed to him is tempting jesus with food as he wandered the dessert and this time he was proven wrong. If Jesus had taken him up on his offer wouldnt that take away the entire point of the jesus figure anyway and prove him a fraud and a hypocrite. Wouldnt it be a good thing to know that? I mean if some dude claimed he wasnt eating or drinking for a month in the dessert and I stumbled upon him I would question it all the same as I think most would. 

Also most of the things we associate with modern day satanism like the goat sacrifices and so on were made up by humans to my knowledge I dont bieleve it stated anywhere that satan loves killing horned mountain dwelling mammals.

Maybe theres some other scripture that I havent seen or I'm simply misinterpreted certain aspects. I'm not religious but I enjoy discussing theology all the same so I view the bible more as a creative fiction and one that doesnt seem to have very reasonable character development. So is the devil really all the evil he is preached to be?

Since you are speaking from a Biblical standpoint here, let me argue with the Bible here as well:

Satan's / Lucifer's role in the bible is to lead people away from God, starting with the Serpent. In the story of Job, Satan incites God to take everything away from one of God's most faithful men, certain that he would lose faith once he lost everything. That's not antihero behavior, that's simply being dickish.

Same with Jesus and trying to make him break his fasting - an important religious ritual, and Satan wants Jesus to fail. There's nothing even remotely heroic here; Satan simply thinks Jesus, as a man, is fallible, but He is Christ and will not fail.

Also, look at how it all ends, specifially Revelations 12 and the following chapters. Satan takes the form of a dragon - a very large version of the original serpent - and has a son with a woman, in mockery of Jesus being the son of God, and makes him king of the mortal world. Then he goes to war against the heavens. When that fails, he tries to give his power to two great monsters, one from the sea and one from the earth, who subjugate humanity for him

Eventually, the forces of heaven come down to earth, defeat Satan's forces and bind him in chains for a thousand years before finally casting him into a lake of fire.

Antihero? Villain, absolutely.
