We live in ~~a society~~ an ecosphere.

No system but the ecosystem

What does that even mean?

To get high with you and bitch about how much of a hypocrite god is.

Lucifer was cast out of heaven for upsetting Heaven by speaking truth to power. It would totally fit if Lucifer complained about how much God is a dick.

God wanted to give free will to man. Lucifer was adamant that it would go tits up and ruin everything, so he tried to oppose god.

God cast out Lucifer and did it anyway.

Lucifer watched sassily as it did indeed go tits up almost immediately.

Lucifer doesn't hate man, but pities him. Even if he wanted to, he could never inflict the kind of ingenious horrors on us that we inflict on each other.

Didn't man gain free will ("knowledge of good & evil") expressly against god's wishes by eating from the fruit of the tree in Eden? I seem to remember him being kinda miffed about that.

God is less smart than a kindergarten employee.

I think you have it the wrong way around man. In the Genesis myth God forbids touching the tree of knowledge of good and evil, but they do it anyways because of the snake's rizz. But they are only able to do it because they already have free will at that point.

[–] Agent641 2 points 4 months ago

That's what I mean, God gave man free will, but expected them to obey and do the 'right' thing regardless, even though they don't have to.

Lucifer immediately proved they would disobey by suggesting they eat the fruit even after being told not to, and it was all downhill from there.

At least, that's my interpretation.

You know, one time... one time... I told him to fuck off. He kicked me out of the tree house. So, I made my own tree house, with a sauna, and all the cool people hang out there.
