Only if you thought the "wrong" was necessary for a greater "good." I'm just not buying that anyone is convinced and quite content that their own actions are "wrong."
Have you never seen a child (or an adult, for that matter) disobey authority, for the sole purpose of defying that authority ?
Which is juvenile behavior. Do you think Satan is merely having a temper tantrum?

Okay, ... let's consider con-artists. Do you think that they are considering a greater good ? Do you think that they do not know that it is wrong to separate you from your money ?

Do you not see a connection between evil behaviour and immature behaviour (i.e. me, me, ... all for me !) ? Does it not appear that Satan's behaviour is immature ? Doesn't mature behaviour take into account what's good for others, as well as what I perceive to be good for me ?
On a related note ... have you ever read any of M. Scott Peck's books (i.e The Road Less Traveled, The People of the Lie, etc.) ?
