If Christianity is the only true religion, I would worship Satan who sacrificed himself for me.

Christian God seems kinda mean, burning people alive for eternity.

Satan is cool tho. He is not the type of person to judge you.

So even if Satan wasnt true and Christian God was true, I should prefer to stand with Satan rather than with Christian God.

The reasoning is simple. I am not sure if I want to spend eternity with Christian God. Maybe the Bible lied about him, or maybe he changed his mind now, but Christian God seems like a bully. He tortures people over nothing. 

Christians follow Christian God, even tho he will probably torture most of them too.

I dont know, I just cant love God who says he is good but tortures people like that.

Satan is so cool in comparison. He literally sacrificed himself to save me. He willingly lost his place in Heaven just so that I could be free. He rejected his wings and stopped being an angel, all for me. It means Satan really loves me. He actually sacrificed a lot for me.

Satan gave up on so much for me, even tho I spent most of my life fearing him.

But I dont fear anymore <3

The simpler version is he 'sacrificed' himself in stupidity by aiming to usurp God and take the throne.

This is primarily based on 1 section in the Bible referring to Lucifer.

In my 'heretic' opinion which fits a lot better with Judaism's take on who Satan was in Old Testament for us (their Tanakh), Satan was an angel hellbent (pun intended) on proving that people usually only follow God when it is convenient to.

What changed is he now is on that mission beyond what he was before. Now he literally is eberywhere on Earth except where Holy Spirit pushes him away from, he is quasiomipresent inside Earth. His demons do more obvious evil and long term possession  while Satan tempts us all, trying his best to make us crack.

The mission he is on is no longer to test worthiness to enter Heaven but to literally prove ALL of us go to Hell if tempted enough. Where his scheme gets dangerous is once he corrupts for a long enough time things like sex scenes in movies get nornalised among other stuff like easy gun access in US (yes I actually think Satan is behind thst despite Christians supporting it). What he basically does is make good people need to sin to survive in a standard comfortable way. You cannot go in US many places without having access to a weapon ready to slaughter a human being, these days and you cannot last in many jobs witjout lgbtq openness in fact you are arested and lose all licenses related to business if you hire Christians only for a firm, even if its cause is Christian.

It is quite interesting how well he corrupts each society type diferently. Islam/Sharia is a differing corruption scheme.

No, Satan is greatest in knowledge and much smarter than Christian God. He didnt fight for himself there, because he knew he wouldnt win anything for himself.

Well I am still skeptical he is Lucifer.

The name Lucifer inside of Hebrew would be Lukefer or Lusefer for starters.

Imagine, you are in Heaven, you are an angel, you stay powerful and happy forever, you have almost everything you want, yet you reject all that and sacrifice yourself just to set some human free from God's control.

Satan <3

Christian God seems kinda mean, burning people alive for eternity.
The problem many have reading the Bible, both OT and NT, or, for that matter, any holy writ [Torah, Quran, and others]
1. Citing text out of context.
2. Taking the text literally
3. Ignoring the habitual use of allegory/metaphor
3. Failing to read cover-to-cover.

As a result, interpreting "burning people for eternity" as a literal consequence of sin is failure to interpret the culture from which the language comes. That failure is the cause for many to disregard the value of holy writ, almost regardless of religion. Havong read the holy writ of many religions in my lifetime has helped my interpretation of non-religious text as well sufficient to understand the we developed culture long before that culture developed language. As a result, if we approach translating an ancient language without first understanding that language's root culture, we will fail in the attempt. Translation of the Holy Bible is a prime example of this problem.
No, the price paid for sin is not eternal lake fire in. literal sense, and eternal death is not absence of life, but eternal absence from God. Hell, more correctly, ought to be understood as being on the street, seeing a desired thing in a shop window, but there is no door to the shop, and the window is uinbreakable, so the desired thing is unattainable. Hell is merely coming face-to-face with what might have been. Yes, it is torment, but that is entirely internal, not a physical punishment other than being separated from the one hewing who could give us, instead, all of his glory for our obedience to him now.

It is much easier to justify every situation/lesson of the scriptures when you place them in the context of the timeframe which they were written. Eternal damnation or salvation and paradise? Betrayal of your slaves, creation beholden to its creator? Cutting off foreskins and murdering to please your god? Floods wiping out the population of the entire planet because people were not obeying God ? Sacrificing your son as a "lamb" to magically wipe away the sins of anyone who turns his back to God?
Why would a cosmic entity of unending power be concerned with all this caveman nonsense?
