So, does that sound like the typical Cristian belief in God? Didn't think so.

I think that what this passage is getting is that opposites are necessary to define each other. Example: black/white, good/evil, God/Devil. Moreover, not only does Satan define what God is (i.e. everything Satan is NOT), Satan is necessary to complete the whole. An interesting dichotomy but not monotheism I don't think.
