Satan is the good guy, and God is the bad guy. Lucifer is trying to free us from this prison of matter.
Honestly, that's the part I am hung up on. I'm playing with the idea that perhaps it isn't as simple as Good God and Bad Satan. Perhaps, the universe is structured differently.
When you read about Lucifer or Lucifer-like entities, they always want to teach humanity and empower us. Yet, I do believe that evil exists. So does evil come from Satan? Is Satan inherently evil? idk. It's confusing.
