Did God fire an Angel or Did an Angel just quit?

RE: Did God fire an Angel or Did an Angel just quit?
Quote:Satan’s fall from heaven is symbolically described in Isaiah 14:12-14 and Ezekiel 28:12-18. While these two passages are referring specifically to the kings of Babylon and Tyre, they also reference the spiritual power behind those kings, namely, Satan.

Not only is Isaiah referring to the king of Babylon, but there's actually no evidence that the name Lucifer referred to there is referencing Satan, and no justification for calling Satan by the name Lucifer. At any rate, why would Isaiah say "For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God?" Obviously it's talking about an earthly king and not an angel, who would have already been in heaven, not needing to ascend into it. And Satan wouldn't have had a throne anyway, so again, it's talking about an earthly king.

I know Christians will claim that Satan was cast out of heaven so he'd try to ascend to it again, but why would he have been cast out before he tried to "exalt [his] throne above the stars of God?"
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.
