I don't agree with Sebastian's idea that Lucifer/ Satan/ Devil
equals freedom. To me Lucifer represents evil tyrany abuse such as
murder, bullying, child abuse rape. I am not religious god didn't force
us to be good. Good and evil are ideologies like socialism and
capitalism. Religion has artilcuted these philosophies. To say being
evil is being free is to justfuy evil abuses and misery cvommiited
gaisnt the vulnrble which is simply wrong. To me Satan is a fictional
character, based on the reality of some groups and individuals. Use the
name Satan in fiction to label someone as the bad guy. Satan is aname
which indciates evil. Anger, God, Messiah etc: generally indicate
goodness.
Morality is ameans of giving peopel freedom from abuse. To say you
don't believe in good and evil is like saying there is no such thing as
capitalism. To say it is freedom to be evil and abuse people is
dangerous.
The debate is over what iis good and what is evil. No one hsould be
free to abuse other epope. You should not have the freedom to bully,
abuse, rape, murder etc: Lucifer is evil and no one hsould have any
sympathy with him or her. He is the fictional represenation of evil
people. After all remember the NAZIS major phisopsopher (whose name i
can't spell it's something like Nietzhie or something), in the idea
that all that was good was in fact evil and and all that was evil was
in fact good. Thta was because he took pleasuyre from absungio other
people. Yet the far right see him as a genuis for articlating their
evil emotional reactions.
For me i just use Satan as a fictional character as in my story the
whole putpose of the sate is to evilvoe into an evil creature like the
nazis they see good as a weakness to hate, and see us good people as
weak idiots. Which is often how shcoo bullies see the people who didn't
bully people. Thta is the whole point in my satire.
Satan dones give peopel freedom he is merely a fciotnal represntaion od
the seris abuses that cause peopel lvies to be ruined. Morality has
occured in reaction to the emotions and empthay for emotions people are
capable of.Good and evil is the utlimate intelectual battle. Satan is a
fictional character to represent evil. He does not represwent freedom.
Freedom to be evil is merely evil and back to the days of evil abuse.
Freddom to bee vil is not the sort of freedom anyone needs to suffer
from. Unfortunately alot of bullies dehumanise their victims as
emotionless scum and only care about their fellow abusers.
