Lucifer did nothing wrong

Before reading it's very important to realize that there are no rhymes and that that is a good thing. I understand that this will be hard for the common pleb to grasp; luckily I wrote a long foreword explaining it in great detail.

You should know it's better to reign in hell than serve in heaven.

>it's better to be the devil's slave than God's son

everyone in hell is a slave, the devil most of all

Lucifer was deceitful, so why are you trusting his perspective?

His resentment warped his physical form.

Have some compassion, idiot. This is a safe space you can't go triggering people like that who still live in fear of the devil.

>expecting people to read a work before talking about it
I wish that was the case too, anon.

Eh, they're kinda right though. Milton's entire point (and he did this so fucking well) was that Satan spoke so beautifully that he made Hell sound good to himself and whoever listened.

All Bibles or sacred codes have been the causes of the following Errors.
1. That Man has two real existing principles Viz: a Body & a Soul.
2. That Energy, call'd Evil, is alone from the Body, & that Reason, call'd Good, is alone from the Soul.
3. That God will torment Man in Eternity for following his Energies.

But the following Contraries to these are True

1. Man has no Body distinct from his Soul for that call'd Body is a portion of Soul discern'd by the five Senses, the chief inlets of Soul in this age
2. Energy is the only life and is from the Body and Reason is the bound or outward circumference of Energy.
3 Energy is Eternal Delight
Those who restrain desire, do so because theirs is weak enough to be restrained; and the restrainer or reason usurps its place & governs the unwilling.
And being restrain'd it by degrees becomes passive till it is only the shadow of desire.
The history of this is written in Paradise Lost, & the Governor or Reason is call'd Messiah.
And the original Archangel or possessor of the command of the heavenly host, is call'd the Devil or Satan and his children are call'd Sin & Death.
But in the Book of Job Miltons Messiah is call'd Satan.
For this history has been adopted by both parties.
It indeed appear'd to Reason as if Desire was cast out, but the Devil's account is, that the Messiah fell, & formed a heaven of what he stole from the Abyss.
This is shewn in the Gospel, where he prays to the Father to send the comforter or Desire that Reason may have Ideas to build on, the Jehovah of the Bible being no other than he who dwells in flaming fire.
Know that after Christs death, he became Jehovah.
But in Milton; the Father is Destiny, the Son, a Ratio of the five senses, & the Holy-ghost, Vacuum!
Note: The reason Milton wrote in fetters when he wrote of Angels & God, and at liberty when of Devils & Hell, is because he was a true Poet and of the Devils party without knowing it.

All of existence is a slave to it's creator. Lucifer was right, YHWH is not infalliable, and all his creations are deeply flawed. How can you trust your father if he is a belligerent and angry deadbeat?

Lucifer's point is that it is better to set out on your own and secure your own existence, even if it is in hell, than accept what you know isn't right.
