    When you read about Lucifer you quickly realize he wasn’t evil, he was more of a freedom fighter. The Christian God acts like a dictator. God tells everyone that God is good. Everyone has to do what God says otherwise you get God’s wrath and punishment. Everyone who stands up against God is evil and punished. God tell people to do terrible things to show their devotion. There is no democracy in God’s kingdom.

    These are all attributes of dictators. If people don’t do what they say then they are killed, hurt and their families as well. They make people kill other people and do other terrible things to prove their devotion. They spread propaganda against the people standing up against their regime. They make themselves out as the good guys.

    Lucifer stood up against God’s tyranny and was made out to be the bad guy. That is my point of view.

      Or in this case, tortured for literally eternity with the most horrifying pain imaginable, with no chance of escape or respite, in an unimaginable forever of suffering.

      Because he loves you.

        …and He needs money! He always needs money! He’s all-powerful, all-perfect, all-knowing, and all-wise, somehow, (snaps fingers), just can’t handle money!
