Answer A) Sumeria (Mesopotamia)

or

B) we created him to take the rap for all the bad things that happen rather than blame God.

In the Old testament the Devil was hardly if not at all mentioned, In the New Testament there are some mentions of him. The Biblical Satan:

Satan is an angel (Job 1-2).

God made him before the world began (Job 38:4-7).  

Satan was very powerful (Revelation 12:3: "ten horns")

and very wise (Revelation 12:3: "seven heads").

But he became the first sinner (1 John 3:8).

Apparently at one point in the past (or possibly future) he led a rebellion in heaven against God (Revelation 12:7).

In Satan’s fall, he drew a vast number of angels with him (Revelation 12:4, 9).

Some of the fallen angels are loose and some are bound in a place called the Abyss (Luke 8:31).

The loose ones we call "demons". Of the bound ones, there are two kinds, permanently bound (2 Peter 2:4; Jude 6)

and temporarily bound (Revelation 9:1-11).

Satan and his demons now wage war against God’s kingdom (Revelation 12:17).

Some people think that Satan lives in hell, but hell is where Satan and the wicked will be sent at the last judgment. Satan now dwells on earth (Job 1:7).

At the Second Coming of Christ, he will be bound for 1,000 years (Revelation 20:1-3).

After the thousand years, he will be set free for a short time and will go out to deceive the nations (Revelation 20:7-9).

The devil’s final end will be in the lake of fire (Revelation 20:10),

which was prepared by God for the devil and his angels (Matthew 25:41).

It would have taken me hours to get this information from the Bible, Long live the internet.

In my belief The Devil (Satan as I may call him) isn't bad at all, He's just the guy who stands for free-will and against God's meddling with the world.

I agree. I think Christanity is too quick to draw a line between Good and Evil. I also doubt that there's a "Devil", but who the hell really knows. Any one who says creation, or something like it is total crap as a final answer is being foolish. There comes a point where we can't explain what happened before.
