You're a fool if you think there is a 'true' meaning to the bible. It is a book that is left to self interpretation.
Of course satan is portrayed as being a bad guy in your bible. As I previously mentioned, he is used to keep all those who follow 'god' in check. To properly represent good, you must make an example of the polar opposite. You know, 'evil'.
In short, satan is used as a scape goat. People blame sin and evil in this world on him, when actually, the sin and evil can be traced back to mankind.
After all, your god gave us freewill, did he not?
