There is no real need to drag the whole universe into it. God is a scapegoat. He exists to provide us with an alibi for our own human nature. When we look in the mirror and do not like what looks back at us, we can blame god for it: he made us, he made satan, it's his responsibility, nothing to do with us. We're not driven to these atrocities by our own natures, god/satan made us do it. We are naked killer apes, utterly ruthless and gifted with endless imagination when it comes to dreaming up ways to satisfy our own nature. Having a god is very convenient indeed ....
