Before you ask, no I'm not a Satanist or anything like that, since I have trouble believing anything about the Bible like it or not. Two, this isn't serious, I'm not doing this to offend anyone, I'm just curious what people think. Third, no, while Samael and Satan are indeed closely resembling eachother, and while the New Testament likes to make it seem that Satan and Samael were the same entities no, it has changed over time but I find myself dissapoint when people don't realize that. In fact if anything, Samael is actually much closer to the influence of Death then in Satan, but of course in later adaptions, that's what he's been shaped into more of becoming, a General for Hell or Satan or what not, or simply being another Fallen Angel from hell. But the original text is much more interesting. Fourth, I do not believe you can actually measure evil for sure, in fact I really don't even believe, but I'm just curious on who people think is the bigger bastard in mythology or in religon. Just curious, though most people tend to forget who Samael really is which is a shame.

First of all. Satan/Lucifer. Now yes, of course there are different versions to the story of Lucifer and Satan, some more long and confusing then others, but I've chose to the main one to make things short and simple and because I assume everyone knows and shit, if not, then look it up on the interent.
Basically, Satan or Lucifer was known as the Light Bringer or the Accuser in old Jewish myths and while certainly not evil, he was the one who would simply judge others and tell God who he'd believe if these mortals were loyal and holy enough, or whether they should be banished to hell. Regardless of this seemingly cruel task, the Archangel himself was not considered to be inherently evil and he did his task well, helping out humanity, but also judging on who he believed were unworthy. Now there came a point though, when God had supposdly freedly admitted that Lucifer had become his favorite Archangel, Lucifer who soon found out about this slowly became more arrogant and began to sin like a Devil or Demon. Since he judged humanity overall as a whole, he now had now begun to believe that he had a higher judgement then God and had now been convinced through Sin and the worst Sin of all, Pride, that he was now more powerful then God and could therefore Judge all others as being greater then them. God did not approve of this of course, so apparently a Civil War had sprung out with 1/3 of th Angels betraying God and rebelling against the creator so that they could lead there own destinies (Perfect Beings My Ass) and there main leader and lord was Lucifer. However, by Gods orders, Lucifer was stopped and defeated by his old partner Michael and his very Angelic Wings were ripped out of his back and he was thrown into Hell, along with the rest of the treacherous Angels. Because of this though, he became consumed by hatred as the Fallen One, and he had took command of the Fallen Angels and all the Demons of Hell, manifested into it's Realm as he reshaped as a newly more powerful being, and had become the Dark One that nearly all religons fear. Lucifer... To Satan... Prince or Lord of Darkness. He is said to be the incarnate now or the Lord of all Evil things, and is said to be the master manipulator of sin, constantly trying to corrupt humanity whether through deception and fear, to betray the faith of God and therefore live a world of sin for him to have. He is said to take on many forms, endless amounts, and while he can take the form of gigantic dangerous storms and monsters, he prefers to lay low, deceive, and corrupt humanity slowly and painfully to get what he wants. And it is said that when the end of time begins, he will take the form of the horrid Beast of Hell, and along with the whore of Babylon (Supposedly Lilith) and the Goat of Traitors (Supposedly Samael) and the Four Horsemen, he shall take possession of the world once again, and he will rule the world with Sin and take it away from God, thus restoring everything into Chaos.

Now next to someone while not as popular, you'll find to be even more screwed when you read his bio, Samael, The Archangel of Death, the Poison of God, The Wrath of God, The Gaurdain of the 5th layer of Heaven, and the Seducer and the Destroyer, also known as the Grim Reaper in some mythologies.
This guy is a sick bastard. According to the original Jewish texts and legend, Samael was created by God later to be the soul Incarnate of Gods Rage and poison. He was built on intent to being the ultimate punishment and pain for anyone who dared defile God, the Ancient Executioner or also known as, The Ultimate Angel Death, Death Icarnate, who'd deliver pure and painful death and suffering to both good and evil. Those who have sinned or those who were simply unlucky. And while he is basic known as the Archangel of Death, several other texts relate him to being the Archangel of Death, Destruction, Plagues and Poison, Suffering, Pain, Torture, Blood, Punishment, Wrath, War, Seduction, Famine, Domination, Rape, and Vampirism... it's true. And this guy actually worked for God... loyally in fact, he was later considered to be God's dirty worker and did many tasks for his Lord, though none of this for some reason was considered sinful, I guess God and the other Archangels just thought it was okay. He would work along side many other Angels and Archangels such Michael, Jacob, Gabriel, Uriel, Abbadon, even the now known to be Lord of Darkness, Lucifer. But ironically it was Samael considered to be the sickest one. This one an Archangel, an Incarnate of Death who did not just kill you, but he'd manipulate you, torture, seduce you, and destroy you and everything you loved and cared for all in the name of thy Lord or just for his sheer pleasure. He claims that this is all neccessity and that this is all the will of God saying: "If thy Lord considered me a demon or monster, then thy Lord would have sent me to the pits eons ago in the beginning of time." Saying that he could get away with these things under the name of God because he supposedly doesn't break rules to God and it is he who delivers the official punishment through Death, because what sane God would let a being like him exist, let alone work for him, and I right? In some stories, Samael was the one who in fact corrupted humanity and manipulated Eve in the form of a serpent fused together with Lilith (Who wanted revenge for getting kicked out the Holy Lands) to eat the fruit from the tree, therefore corrupting Cain. In some myths and stories, he's actually the father of the first murderer and deceiver of huamity, Cain from the Bible. And in others, he was the one who was filled with Lust for Lilith the first woman and killed the other two angels to have her for himself, thus forming a sinful bond. In fact what's even more shocking was when Lucifer went corrupt and rebelled with 1/3 of the Angels against God, Samael was not among the ones who betrayed God, instead he had still supported and thought for and with God under the context that he would make those traitor Angels, and he tortured those treacherous Angels endlessly, killing and slaughtering most of them in glee. So in the original Jewish texts, he never became a Fallen Angel and therefore never betrayed God, meaning that he was still technically one of the good guys Angels you had to fear if you didn't follow the rules. In later adaptions to the story, things have changed, Samael in the later versions was a rebellious Angels sent to Hell and therefore became one of the many Fallen Angels trapped in Hell. In some version he is Satan's most powerful but treacherous, planning to take the throne for himself, in others, like Abbadon he bears and is the vessal for Satan himself so it varies. In the old text, he's described as being Death Incarnate itself, usually represented as a Skeleton or a Grim Reaper, in later texts, he's more demonic-like, and much like Satan, he's very Goat-ish now.

So what's your opinion. Using this and you're own knowledge.

Now this is just my personal opinion so don't get angry, but in terms of who's the bigger bastard. I'd have to say Samael. I mean don't me wrong, Lucifer/Satan is not freaking Saint, HA! I mean hell he's supposedly the Lord of Darkness. But here's the thing, as bad as he supposedly is, he at least a reason. Now of course it doesn't make up at all for what he's doing and the lengths he goes to corrupt humanity, but you can at least argue that he's doing all this evil and manipulation for revenge on God, even if he was the one who fucked all the things up for himself. Samael by comparison is just an asshole and a bastard. Who simply does everything for his own amusement and fun. No reason, no regret, no backfire, it's just what he does and he enjoys it, then again... could you really blame him. I mean God literally made him to be Death, Suffering, Poison, Wrath, and Destruction Incarnate... I mean I guess in many ways he turned exactly downright as God had planned to be, a Punisher among sinners and innocent people sadly. So could you really blame someone who was just born evil, since that's basically what he was made and raised for in the first place and that's just his job? He was made a Sociapath and a crazy killer working for God, he's exactly how God had intended him to be in the old days, so do you blame him or do you blame his Creator. Hmmm... Maybe:D

Samael vs Satan?

-Samael was created by God later to be the soul Incarnate of Gods Rage and poison. He was built on intent to being the ultimate punishment and pain for anyone who dared defile God!

Now tell me... Have you ever messed with Gods Rage? No you haven't! Now I don't know if you're stupid or trying to act stupid! Im sorry but if you can't see who's more Evil and Stronger then there is no hope for you :'(

Samael was made to be Gods Rage... Lets try to make this easy to understand.. ok? 
The only person Samael cannot reap is God therefore Mr. Samael here can reap(kill) Satan himself.

Friendly Advice: It is not wise for one to mess with Samael!
