Do you guys know any good books about Lucifer, the light-bringer? He's gotta be my favorite angel since He's the only angel/deity who cares about his followers. I will follow Him until the end.

i was writing a book about him but people kept complaining so i ran out of resources. it's a long book anyway

it starts off with thoughtful contemplations about dogs, and their long journeys to serve their masters, and the hardships they face. dogs only stay with people if they essentially have an eternal duty by the way, in this exposition of the heavens and the earths and such.

he flies around, starts living life just to inspire others and begin his... ransom scheme. it ends up there because people who don't know how to get along with others naturally will refuse to listen unless that happens. then, he starts flying around chopping up people's sins into real entities that are tormented forever, and are funny to laugh at. they have names like mr. collects on loans and debts, and the joke is that he never does collect on any.

anyway i was going to make that in 2026, who knows if i will really. maybe it will show up from the future, there's any number of possibilities when you've decided to make truly epic literature, about devils and gods and such

Idk why I'm responding to this sincerely but whatever. God isn't your enemy, this becomes apparent when one establishes faith and a relationship with Him. When God is something you only conceptualize in your head, His aspects become more skewed due to all sorts of philosophizing and intellectualism that provide extraneous conclusions rather than correct ones. God is something to be felt in the heart, then His Grace and Mercy to you and mankind are felt and known. Please don't think that God is a malignant force because of a philosophical conclusion. It is simply not the case. I'm not telling you to repent or convert, but it will do you well to not vastly misinterpret His nature. I'm sorry if this is preachy or condescending or anything I guess I was just feeling sensitive or something and felt a need to say this.

Hey, I'm not the one worshiping satan here! As far as I'm concerned he's a huge prick who's only motivation is to drag souls into hell with him. I met him! he assured me I was going to hell because of something very foolish I said while I was under the torment of demons. I now realize all the time I spent as a pious Christian -- even to the point where I stopped salting my food in order to overcome the sin of gluttony -- was spent in pure cowardice. The religious observance of any Christian can only be called cowardice; that individual doesn't want to go to hell and therefore he tries to make himself obedient to God (or else of course, he vainly speaks some profession of faith and goes about his life much as he was before.)

However, now being quite irredeemably damned to hell, I will say I am not so foolish as to overlook the fact that The Bible is a cosmic horror of a magnitude greater than even the bleakest most dystopian literature ever written. For instance in the story "I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream" we can at least say things like "oh well, its just a few people being tormented for a very long but presumably terminable period." In the conclusion of the Bible we're presented with countless billions being tormented, maximally, forever. That is not any kind of story of redemption nor anything to derive hope from for any sane man.

And of course you'll say "But what about the sacrifice on the cross?". Well, what about it? Surely if humanity would be made to trust God, something so emotionally manipulative as the sacrifice of his only son (whatever that even means) would certainly be a way to foster that trust. And really, what does sacrifice mean to "all-powerful" being, who not only can merely resurrect his son, but indeed does so?

Apologetics, piety, praxis. These are all rooted tremendously in the worst kind of selfish callowness, even when they are the apologetics, piety and praxis of one of the many wrong religions. But lets put those aside, for the topic at hand is Christianity, the "true" religion. Well let me say when I hear the words "The Lord is not willing that any should perish" I hear the greatest absurdity, after all if the Lord was truly unwilling that any should perish then he would not allow for people to perish in the Hell that has been "prepared" by him. These kind of apologetics run round into the most self-contradicting sort of circles.From my own perspective, I can only know that God is the being who apprehends our reality. Nothing about his perfectness, goodness, beneficence , wisdom, power is verifiable. We're simply to take his Word for it. I do not and neither should you.

Also if you want an idea of just how narrow the "narrow way" is, I present you the following example of someone who POSSIBLY will make it into paradise. You are screwed my friend.

Actually I am on meds because the depression I experienced in being cut off from God was significant and enduring. First, I was trapped in a psych emergency room for a week. I was in solitary confinement basically, because I claimed that demons were tormenting me. The great irony is that being cut off from the love of my family, any other human contact or any kind of uplifting Christian message, the demons were able to work much more effectively and tricked me into saying those words (not that I'll get into what those words were because that would involve pages of text to explain as well.)

The thing I find perplexing is that Christians allege to believe that there is the devil and that demons exist but they think if someone claims he is being tormented by demons, well, that's a psychological matter. No, the reason you don't experience demonic oppression is because you're just another luke-warm shitty "christian". If you actually start to follow Christ the devil is going to put someone on your case. I have lived that experience.

Oh and because of the depression and "religious delusions", I ended up spending 6 months in the psych ward until I stopped saying anything of a religious nature and began distracting myself with life. And currently I'm on a community treatment order to take antipsychotics and antidepressants. Its all a bunch of crap though. Everything I experienced was spiritual. I don't hear demons anymore. Its not because of the medication. Its because they have declared victory over me. The only thing that makes complete sense to me now is antinatalism.

So this is when we globalization happens and the eastern philosophies mix with the west. Therefore, what was once Luciferian becomes the Tao which is the balance between Selfishness and selflessness. Which is the teaching of the Merkaba*, (higher dimensional Star of David) and why John Mackey just came out with his book Conscious Capitalism.

Does that make sense?

*Pyramid facing up representing selfishness, pyramid facing down representing selflessness.

Not a book but a 60s cult called the Process Church had some pretty cool ideas about Lucifer and his differences from Satan.

Lucifer embodies the quest to transcend the all-too-human by moving 'above' it, in an Eastern-Religion-y kind of way, while Satan seeks to transcend it by going 'beneath' it, intensifying the senseless animal part of ourselves
