I lean toward God as scriptures name him the Alpha and Omega which to me means the best and the worse. Also, scriptures have God saying not to place any other above him and I would be going against this by placing Satan above him in the category of the most evil. I do not want to break the first commandment.
Do you dare by putting Satan above God?

The bible is full of contradictions. I wouldn't think to much into it. It ought to make you crazy if you took everything literally.

I'm surprised at the tack you take. A close reading of the OT leads me to ask:
Who planted the tree of the knowledge of good and evil in the garden?
Who was about to destroy Israel, but Moses begged Him off from doing such an evil (more than once)?
I think the Bible says fairly openly that God made both good and evil. He has the authority to do so, and who will question Him on that? Not me. Satan is kept on a short leash from the left hand of God. I accept this. Any other position tends to put Satan on an equal footing with God.

I will explain why I think the people who question God, yet believe in Christianity, are morons, as well as those who worship the devil. In the case of the latter, if you believe the devil is real, why on Earth would you not worship God? Do I even need to elaborate on that one?
And in the case of the former, if you believe both are real, why on Earth would you question God? Is not that just stupid, considering that if you believe in the Christian God, you also believe that God is all knowing? Therefore does not God know what He is doing? I would think so.
