Satan: The birth of evil

How was Satan able to sin, and why did he? Angels dont have a sin nature correct? So wouldnt Satan not sin unless tempted? Adam and Eve wouldnt have sinned if it werent for Satan tempting Eve, correct? So, would it be possible that God created Satan sinful? If not, I dont see how he would have rebelled.

God hates sin. Angels have a mind of their own, like us only they don't have a tendency to sin. I think that they can go against God though. I mean, demons are fallen angels, so they would've had to rebel against Him to get kicked out of heaven..
