(Lucifer’s also known as Enki, Ea, Nudimmud, Adonai, Apollo, Poseidon, Yam, Neptune, Aquarius, Ptah, Khnemu, Buzur, Nahash, Hephaestus, Vulcan and sometimes, Melchizedek. He glyphed as entwined serpents.)
So, the Devil had three different aliases within Greek religion (using different names among the Romans for only two of them), each of them quite distinct from each other and not really having anything in common with the Devil, either?
Okay, perhaps it’s just another case of my ideas of what constitutes common knowledge being skewed, Classical Greek mythology is about as far as possible as you can get from an obscure and inaccessible culture that is effectively a tabula rasa where you can freely distort if not outright make up whatever bullshit you want, secure that there will be barely anyone who could call you out on it and that it is trivially easy for legitimate information to be drowned out by viral woo.
…but then, I guess, looking at American Christianity, there probably is not only a lot more ignorance even of such basic classical education, but also quite a lot skill in making the most bizarre interpretations of scripture even as one reads it…
PS:
Also, I notice that the actual Greek god whose symbol is the pair of entwined serpents, a god whose concerns include trickery and magic, is conspicuously absent in this.
