There seems to be a very sunday school understanding of the operations of mythology going on here. That he was a murderer is of little importance. The real question here is why God favored animal husbandry over agricultural production. In my opinion, things in the "mytho-landscape" should not be seen as some kind of lesson that for instance you would take from history, but have to do with something else. Speculating on that thing or its importance is outside of my scope here, and would be just that besides.
My most recent hypothesis is that things in this landscape didn't happen so much in the past as they are constantly simultaneously occurring on some level expressed in facets of human behavior. Like Jung collective consciousness but not. Both more and less real than that in particular ways. Interestingly enough it was "Lucifer", in much the way you guys seem to be talking about him, who showed me a glimpse of this thing and the mechanics of its operation.
