Oh, but when I say that Lucifer was a hero for getting humans to eat from the Tree of Knowledge I get called a Satanist!
There's a saying, "the greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing mankind that he doesn't exist."
I disagree. I think the greatest trick would be to prove that you're the good guy, and the other guy is the bad guy. If anything about the Xtian Bible is true, Lucifer is absolutely the good guy.
God didn't like that Lucifers actions detached humans from the "hunger games" style murder fest called "nature". They were the main attraction. Nobody gives a shit about naked apes farming shit and singing to each other.
Well, there's also a connection between Prometheus and Lucifer.
Prometheus brought fire. "Lucifer" means "light-bearer".
Forethinkers are usually punished.
Isn't Lucifer and Satan two different beings?
Depends on your canon - the Serpent might also have been a different guy.
