Lucifer is not evil like god says.

By who is Lucifer described to be the greatest of all god"s creations? Certainly it wasn"t god who said that. Now my opponent claims that God says Satan was his favorite and most beautiful angel, but since the bible is the word of God, and the bible is where he got this evidence, wouldn"t that mean that this is exactly how God described Satan? My opponent then starts of his next paragraph by saying that we all agree that Satan try to take over because he didn"t like how God was running things, but actually I wouldn"t say that it essentially entailed that. I don"t know where it says that Satan tried to exclude God, but maybe Satan wanted to become just as powerful, or maybe more powerful but not interfere with God"s works. And yes people can relate with Satan, but that is irrelevant to the resolution which is, Lucifer is not as evil as God says, I would like people to pay attention to the keywords, God says. Even if we can relate to Satan, it may be how God described it to be. For example, Lucifer is evil, men can be evil, therefore they relate, however God has said Lucifer is evil, therefore Lucifer is described as how God described him to be. Then pro claims that Lucifer was in the right because he had less power, but some followers still went to his side. The problem with this, is that we can"t neglect Satan was a manipulator. We also can"t neglect that other angels wanted to be like God, just like Lucifer. Therefore they wanted to join Lucifer"s side to grow in power. So I have just gave analytical evidence for why God doesn"t necessarily have to be unliked based off him not running things right. Now I would also like my opponent to provide me the evidence that says Satan was the best creation under god. And pro keeps saying maybe this and that, although everything is pretty much a maybe, but my opponent has to provide reason for why that"s the best conclusion. Now my opponent then goes on to say that Lucifer has not done such crimes as God has, but pro neglects that the reason why there is evil, is because of Lucifer. Depending on what religion you"re talking about, people believe that Satan is the embodiment of evil, or he is the ruler of earth right now and every evil thing is due to him. Therefore Lucifer has caused tremendously more crimes than God, and that"s if there is any. The idea behind the tree of knowledge is much more than just a tree no one can eat from. It"s the principle that if you disobey, you will be kicked out of the garden. If it wasn"t that big of a deal, then nobody will have a problem avoiding it. Also much of this depends on the religion you are talking about specifically. Lastly, my opponent starts saying that Lucifer maybe did this because he disagreed with God, which is true, no argument there. But then he says God slandered Satan to make himself look good, but does not provide anything reason for this. Pro continuously brings up points without having any sort of evidence for why this is what happened. How does my opponent know that God"s reason for doing this was so that people would continue following him, and even if this is the case, wouldn"t it be good of God for him to encourage people to follow the good guy instead of the bad guy, since my opponent hasn"t proved that God was the bad guy and Satan was the good guy. Then he brings up the people can relate point, which I have refuted previously. Then pro says, "And what does God plan to do with Lucifer, this son that he loves so much? He plans to burn Lucifer alive in hell.", but I know of no quote that states that God loves Satan after his ways, and that Satan is his son. Also it depends on the religion, since some don"t believe in hell. Also my opponent assumes that hell is a fire place.
