More and more as I read posts here and respond to them, I seem to have a fondness for Satan (but I prefer to call him Lucifer. Satan is such an ugly word). I'm wondering if maybe Satanism (or Luciferian or whatever other sects of the Left-Hand Paths) I am fit for, if any at all. Here's what I do believe:
Lucifer was a great angel.
Lucifer had a great love for mankind.
Lucifer tried to convince God that humans deserved better treatment.
God beat up Lucifer and his followers.
God locked them all in a horrible place called Hell.
God gave them terrible names like Demon, Devil, and Satan.
Jesus is not the son of God.
Jesus suffered the same fate as Lucifer (He stood up for what he believed and was tortured) Yet somehow he is a good guy, while Lucifer is labeled as evil.
From this I feel that a great injustice has occured, and while changing my faith is something that is very important and tedious, I have a strong feeling that Lucifer would appreciate a friend and admirer.
What I'm wondering is do my beliefs fit very well with any particular part of the Left-Hand Paths? Should I become a Satanist, or maybe just retain my current and religion and consider myself a firm supporter of Lucifer?
