If Satan is bad, why does he punish people who are evil?

Yeah, real theologically accurate there. *Snorts.*

Actually, Satan has no real power, aside from influencing us. He cannot punish us after we die, nor can he directly attack us right now. He has to have God's permission to cause harm to us.

That is excellent!!!

He's not waiting for us in Hell to punish us, and he doesn't have a pitch fork either. 😱

as in was the question unclear?

Yes, it was, actually. Seeing as how the phrase in English would be, "You speaking from experience?" rather than "of experience", I am unsure of what you are saying

i do believe imagination is more powerful than knowledge.

We wouldn't have any knowledge without first having an imagination first to wonder about something...So, imaginations is first and knowledge is second..

If there is a Hell, I certainly don't think we burn or we're tortured by demons or anything.

I think it's a cold, dark, depressing place. More or less a desert at night. In Hell, you wonder the place for all enternity, alone and miserable. Running over in your mind why you're all alone and why you're there.

It makes sense to have a place that gives you psychological fear, which is a lot more painful then physical fear.

THAT'S PROBABLY THE MOST BRILLIANT THING ANYBODY'S EVER SAID! 😱

Wouldn't he like them for being sadistic and murderous? Wouldn't that prove to him that God is wrong in some way?

Where do you get this from? He does not punish evil humans, he does not punish when people kill themselves, if he destroys is that because he wanted it so, and as he is born in Chaos, what you expect from it?
But the answer on this lies in your own doomed soul...

Man is made in the image of God..Satan hates God and all His creations, especially man, being his image.

And when we say Man is in God's image, we mean that man is created based on God's Avatar (as in online picture)

You are absolutely right! He has to have permission from Our Lord to do everything! And he does know the last page of The Bible! He is probably just so full of himself, he beleives he has a chance to change it! He is pretty stupid! After all, it was his vanity that caused him and his hst of Angels to be kicked out of Heaven to begin with. As for Angels resembling man, yhey probably do spiritually, but according to The bible, they have something extra we do not! I do nt know what, but will research further! Have a nice, SUNNY day!

Because he likes to see people in pain and suffering.JM
