Romanticizing Satan

Tweet

Now here's a spin on the whole Biblical story that I just don't understand. I mean, I understand people who just don't believe in the Bible. I can even understand believing in the Bible, but not accepting everything a person thinks it teaches. However, I don't understand the concept of believing Satan can be anything someone could look up to. According to the Bible, Lucifer was a high ranking angel. At some point, Lucifer tried to overthrow God. 1/3 of the "hosts of heaven" joined him in his war. Because they tried to overthrown heaven, they were banished... Lucifer's name was changed to Satan and the rest is history. Now Satan and his demons are continuing that war here on earth. Their one goal is to destroy as many of us as they can. Now, again, if you don't believe there ever was a God, a heaven or a Lucifer, I can see now accepting the story. I can even understand why people would mock it. What I don't understand are the people who have romanticized Satan, actually seeing him as some equivalent of the US Founding Fathers. News Flash, rebellion isn't necessarily a good thing! Bigger News Flash, if you really believe Satan rebelled against God, then what you are considering some rebel hero is out to do you harm! One more time. I understand that people who think the whole story is bunk might see him as some symbol in their anti religion/spirituality philosophy. Most Lucifarians I've talked to would fall in this category. I'm talking about the people who believe that Satan exists, and that he did try to overthrow God... and think he's someone worth looking up to anyway.
