Chad, your response reflects a basic view that negates the necessity of Redemption.
Satan never saw the severe side of God. He and those angels that followed him thought God was a pushover and Lucifer said in his heart (paraphrase) I am going to boot God off his throne and take over.
Talk about no cure for stupid.
He is described as king over all the proud- the most prideful of all.
Because of his beauty (which was created in him by God- dumb, real dumb) his heart was lifted up in pride. Pride blinds oneself to their real condition. An ultimate LIE.
Losty, you are a delightful person. Honest and childlike.
Those 2 attributes are commended by God. You do have an enemy though.
The devil comes in many forms. One is religion.
