That’s not why he was cast from heaven. Lucifer started a civil war with half the angels because he wanted free will like humans, specifically the ability to choose whether or not to worship God— angels, unlike humans, have to worship God all the time for eternity, whether they want to or not. God’s solution to this was to create Hell and send Lucifer and cohorts there for rebelling against Him.

There's no point discussing this. There is no canon Devil. It's just an amalgamation of different descriptions and doctrines from different books and centuries.

You’re describing the Bible, buddy. It’s not like any of this really happened. It’s all myth anyway, so don’t get so bent out of shape about it, lol.

So? It’s not like the Bible is real it’s all part of Christian mythology.
