You do have to like God to serve him, you love him that's why you serve him.

No, that is not true at all. People serve someone they don't like all the time.

Lots of slaves or employees have served someone they didn't like or straight up hate

satan, after all, is just one of our spiritual brothers.

I personally don't want this person in my life.

So I'll conclude; I do my thing without satan and satan does his thing without me.

God is compassion, Satan is discipline. You kinda need to have both to be a good person.

You have to remember Satan's whole point - Mankind (and in my opinion implying Angels alike) should rule themselves (eating from the tree of knowledge of good and bad), and choose their own ideas of good and bad, not following the way of God's knowledge but following any whim in the mind of mankind. So in my opinion Satan worships no one and would certainly frown on or at least scoff at anyone worshiping their creator. The bible also shows how the relationship between God and Satan has and still is changing if you read it chronologically and consider some fulfilled prophecies in the book of Revelation.

He doesn't have a choice to do so , you might want to play a specific kind of a game cards and try to break the rules ,
you might be able to cheat , to steal and do whatever you want in order to get to the victory but at the end of the day
you can't fight the fact that you are actually playing a game of cards , the cards is the core and always will remain .

In others words what you beleive is yours is only a loan to comeback to his source
which is * God * the life we experience is not own by anyone therefor you are the
very representation of freedom and freewill , no one can oversee you against your behalf ...

I think you need to look at this from another perspective

Does God really talk to a Satan guy like it is Zeus and Hades? Which has colorized most of Western thinking of these stories.

Satan is called "adversary" "accuser" "tempter"

Satan goes "to and fro" through the earth.
The Serpent "whispers in your head"
Satan is a roaring lion that "consumes"
Satan is a Dragon with 7 Heads that causes earthquakes, tidal waves, tries to eat the Woman's child, throws a third of angels into the Earth

These are all SYMBOLS that were written by people who had prophetic psychic dreams or visions.

In science there has to be Positive and negative charges.
Well God had to create "darkness" "evil" for there to be any Drama, Freedom, choice or evolution.
You can not appreciate the good or the hero or to be Love without suffering, friction, drama, and oppositional forces.

Satan is the Source of negative energy, the extremely polarized Negative force. It only does what it is allowed to do but it does its job very well. And we participate in that Dark Side. We arent spectators suffering from a negative external, we can actually become negative ourselves.

The story of Job is a metaphorical story about the Soul who doesn't give into all these negative things in their life and does not blame God nor become a victim. Instead Job overcomes all these hurdles and holds out until the end and through this process of descent and suffering he is given everything back by twice as much and everything is restored "resurrected" to newer and greater Life because he overcame the tests
