Help[Opinions] Re: Lucifer Sighting!
in reply to a message by Dianatiger
As an atheist, I don't see a problem with Lucifer. The devil is kind of comical to me, especially with Tom Ellis's portrayal. His only crime was loving God more than humans anyway, and considering the state of the world, can you blame the guy? He stood up to God. That seems like a nice quality.
I like seeing names like Lucifer, Lilith, Delilah, and Jezebel get reclaimed. Although all of them are far too religious for my liking.

As a Christian, I can say that your version of the story and the Biblical version are totally different. His crime wasn't loving God more than humans, his crime was wanting to be more powerful than God so God took him down a peg and cast him out. And, as a Christian, I don't think standing up to God is a nice quality but I can see how if you are an atheist you might see it that way.

I was referring to the television portrayal of him. And yes, I think it is a nice quality to think critically and not blindly submit to authority.

We may be getting a shade into off-topic territory at this point. Just a thought.

I don't think its off topic, as it has to do with the background of the name.
I also want to point out that I was not arguing with sambchop, just stating my understanding.

I was just a little weary it was going to turn into a religious debate which was not the intention of the post
