Bible says that God said Let there be light and Lucifer means light-bringer. What do you think about that?

In terms of it's mythology, lucifer is barely mentioned in the Bible. The idea of the war in heaven and him being cast out, comes from a pre-Caananite religion. The morning star (Venus) was personified as the god Attar, who attempted to occupy the throne of Ba'al and, finding he was unable to do so, descended and ruled the underworld.

In more modern mythology like Neil Gaimans comics, god created the universe through the angels, having very little to do with it himself (based on the Gnostic idea of the Demiurge) and Lucifer was the angel responsible for the nuclear process which gave birth to stars.

Yep. It's all nothing more than allegorical folklore which only ever contains elements of what the people knew at the time of writing and nothing more.

The bible also said to murder your children with rocks if they don’t listen to you… why the fuck do people still take that shit seriously?

[David_Bayer]

Oh. I don't take it seriously I'm just interested in mythical stories.

I think it means what everyone already knows. God created the devil. The devil was an angel who was cast out of heaven. As the story goes, anyway.

Old mythology.
