Okay so Lucifer obviously upset his sky-daddy, is demoted from being an angel permanently, is cast down to rule an entire sector of the afterlife called Hell which we come to know where all damned souls go after they die.

What is the logic of God practically awarding Lucifer an entire realm for him to rule on his own and nearly contest God’s power?

That’s like imprisoning someone to home confinement when they live in a mansion.

    Okay, bear with me for just a second. There’s a cartoon called “Hazbin Hotel”, which it told from the point of view of Satan (Lucifer’s) daughter. In her version of their origin story, Lucifer gave humanity free will. But because humans are, well, all over the place, this allowed for evil to exist. Which lead to the creation of hell as a place to put these evil souls.

    As Lucifer’s punishment, he was sent to rule over hell, so that the only outcome he would ever see for giving humans free will was humans turning evil. Over & over again for all eternity.

    Yes it’s a cartoon. But I thought it was very elegant here.

      Hazbin hotel isn’t based on the Bible at all. Except from the basic character inspired by Satan, Adam and Eve, Heaven, etc. but it’s portrayal of events aren’t even remotely what Christians believe. Even the characters of Satan are very inaccurate if you’re expecting it to be based off of Christianity
