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.


I thought Lucifer was cast out for questioning God.
He started a War in Heaven. Stellaris style
This reddit post does a good job of summarizing the distributed story biblically. Kjv actually uses sin here. I’ve never personally heard a theology where it was just asking questions. It was more akin to vanity as the listed motivator. I could imagine someone using that as a strawman if they were trying to tell someone else not to ask questions though, and it could easily worm itself into a general conception for some religious backgrounds.
