Lucifer
I’ve had a thought, but first let me briefly explain the premise (to the best of my understanding)…
Alright, so back what when, Lucifer was an angel and like God’s wingman (no pun intended). However, when man was created, God told all the angels in Heaven to bow down to man, cause it was such a great creation or something. Lucifer objects to this, and God punishes him by sending him to Hell and making him The Devil.
Now… firstly I think Lucifer has a right to be a little pissed off, after all angels are much better than pathetic humans. But God being God discounts him and sends him to Hell to collect the souls of the dead. Right, okay, he’s dealt his punishment, Lucifer has gone to Hell etc…
Now… secondly, as an angel it is probably one of your duties to be a nice guy (or girl). Kind, loving, happy. Just generally nice. But as Lucifer is banished to Hell (from being a nice, lovely angel) he becomes totally evil and from then on tortures the souls of the dead for all eternity….
Now, wait a second here! Mr. Nice guy has had a little tiff with the big man and suddenly become completely horrifically evil! It seems rather a large leap. It’s not like he wouldn’t have changed, but to suddenly desire to torture souls forever seems a bit far.
Okay, I take into account that he’s unhappy with the humans and would like them to suffer a bit for them (indirectly) being the reason that he’s now in Hell. But even so… that’s like telling me to bow down to Year 7’s. I’d naturally decline and so (in this example) would be kicked out of Castle and forced to work in MacDonald’s or something (I’ll be honest, it’s not quite the same scenario). Now, I’d feel resent at the Year 7’s for being such twats… but I don’t think I’d be driven to the level where I wanted them all to die so I could torture their immortal souls for eternity… that’s a little much.
So yeah. What’s up with that!?
