A short essay on the perception of God and Lucifer from the christian bible.
In defence of Satan

Adult Supervision is advised

Often, Jehovah is thought of as pure good, and Satan as pure evil. But what if I told you that Satan was the good guy and Jehovah was the bad guy? I know that this will be a hard pill to swallow, but I ask you to bear with me. Jehovah created a utopia, yes. He created humanity, yes. But he created us ignorant and blind. He created humanity as slaves, blind to truth and obedient to a master. Were it not for Lucifer, humanity would've remained dogs, trained to bark and roll over on command. Lucifer sacrificed all that he had in order to break the shackles that bound us. We were freed, but Lucifer was stripped of title and cast out of heaven. And so it was, that Satan created hell; a place of torment for the souls of the damned; but is it? 


I ask you, from where did you learn of hell? The bible? The book supposedly written by a deity with an invested interest in making hell seem as unappealing as possible? Or the priests? The ones who dogmatically speak the word of the bible without question? These sources will obviously tell you that hell is bad because they'd be out of the job if they dared speak otherwise. Now, I'm not saying that this is the case, but I certainly will not discount the possibility...


It is foolish to accept the bible's version of truth without consulting the opposite side; "history is written by the victors". This tale will undoubtedly be told differently by Lucifer, just as the Adam would tell it different than Eve.
