For those that believe, how is it that you came to determine -- on what basis and to what degree of certainty -- that God is necessarily good [moral] and Satan is necessarily evil [immoral]?

I can only assume that those you asked found the question just as unsatisfying as you did their answers. Why no ask why God is good and Martha Stewart is bad? Because the simple answer is: One is the creator and one is the creation; they are not to be compared.
