God agreed to back off and let Satan run his agenda for a while, the only restriction being that Satan could not destroy the entire creation. So, yes, Satan does initiate some programs that God doesn't like, but God permits Satan to continue his agenda. The purpose being that during this process we will all learn enough about sin and rebellion to assure God that none of us will ever want to go back and explore it any further, once we've been granted immortality and absolute sovereignty.
