I'm no expert on the supernatural so I'm asking those who are if God is comfortable with Satan or uncomfortable with him?
How can a perfect God be uncomfortable with anything?..The only logical conclusion is that God who epitomises goodness is quite comfortable with the Devil who epitomises evil..An enigma, a paradox ??

Well the invisible sky wizard god created Satan and is supposed to be all powerful so it must be happy with the invisible Satan wizard

Comfortable is not the correct word. God loves the devil insofar as he does not destroy him but at least allows his continued existence (God suffers the devil's rebellion patiently). That said, God's judgement on the Devil is final. He has refused the glory and pleasure of God's light and thus must suffer the sufferings infinitely distant from his generosity (hence Hell). Moreover, The Almighty Triune God has given power unto the Church to command devils to depart from any given space or individual. The Devil must submit to the Name of Jesus enthroned in the Catholic Church; hence, when diabolic obsession comes around, the sacraments, sacramentals, and rites of the Catholic Church drive the Legions of Hell into a frenzy of agony.
Thus, rather, it is the Devil who is not comfortable with Elohim.

In a sermon I recall, applied to your question, God values all His sentient sapient creations, even when they do not value Him. He respects choice of those endowed with it, He values choice, even when not as He would prefer. If God was uncomfortable with Satan, He would wish to deny him or ignore, and yet, according to the Bible, still grants him "audiences" whenever Satan has requests from God. The two have an eternally estranged relationship, as that of a banished disobedient servant and omnipotent fierce ruler, while God's own have simar relationship but in a familial sense as that of.a.child and loving parent. Satan is the proverbial prodigal son, but unlike the one who returns in the parable found in Scriptures, Satan never did and never shall return. Still, God is not uncomfortable with His creations, if we are to anthropomorphize God with the human atribute of "discomfort"
edit per update: keep in mind "discomfort" is understood in human terms, God "feels" things a bit differently. For example, when one is confident in one's conviction, one is no longer threatened by nor uncomfortable with that which might challenge the conviction. Does not mean one agrees with the premisse of a.challenge, rather one is not "uncomfortable" with it. - this is an example we can relate to, something similar applies to God analogously speaking.

If an omnipotent God was dissatisfied with how the world is, the world would be different.
So it can only be exactly as God wants it, sins and devils and all. Enjoy!

Satan is a catalyst...things go faster, exposed better. Still evil, wrong and
satan is not a personage. Description but no name.
Maybe part of punishment?
God's not concerned.

John 8:44
You are from your father the Devil, and you wish to do the desires of your father. That one was a murderer when he began, and he did not stand fast in the truth, because truth is not in him. When he speaks the lie, he speaks according to his own disposition, because he is a liar and the father of the lie.
