I'll be the first to say that we don't know why God has yet to cast Satan into his own hell. It will happen, I believe, I just don't know when, and I don't know the significance of that particular "when." The book of Revelation talks about the end times, but doesn't exactly give a date for us to tack onto our calendars. I'm sure one of my esteemed smart-asses will jump on this and say "That's because it's a fairytale that will never come true!" And you know what—I really don't have an argument for that which will convince any of you, except to say that some of us will be woefully wrong, and it remains to be seen what the outcome will be.
What I do know is that evil is not so much a thing in and of itself, not an invention, but rather a twisting of something that already existed. Evil can mock and modify, but it has no real imagination. Evil can best be described as the lack of perfection, in a myriad of varying degrees.
