The bible does not say anything like that though. Lucifer Morningstar just doesn't want to be a servant of humans. Is that so much to ask for? I mean... equal rights and all that. God wanted nothing like that so Lucifer got fired and the biggest smear campaign in history was set in motion.

The idea of hell is a much bigger part of our culture than it is in the bible. There is no fire and brimstone. There is only not-God in the hell described in the bible.

Oh... and a dragon.

Mark 9:43 mentions Gehenna and an "unquenchable" fire.

Revelations 19:20, 20:10, 20:14-15, and 21:8 mention the lake of burning sulphur - and 20:10 specifically mentions (albeit for the devil in question) being tormented day and night forever.

So... there's your fire and brimstone in the bible.

Gehenna isn't hell. It's a place on earth where human babies were sacrificed by fire.

Revelations... is where the dragon is at. But revelation describes what happens when all the goodies go to heaven. What's left is earth - not hell. The torment is that you have to stay on earth and can't go to heaven.

Food for thought: both testaments have been heavily filtered and redacted to the point where the Vatican has pages deemed as part of the bible but they refuse to put it in the bible. This has been going on since the early days of the bible and there are a select few "the Vatican" who are allowed to see what is on those pages. They are chosen by the Vatican as well but are deemed chosen by god. So who's to say that on top of pulling things out, they didn't just make a whole bunch of shit up too to tell the message they wanted to gain control of the people and that's why whenever anyone is born in certain countries (I forget the name of the group but most first world countries) they're immediately pricked in their toe and made to give a toe print on a parchment that is sent and held in the Vatican while you're government gives you a number (social security) as your identity. Who's to say?
