Lucifer killed zero people in the Bible. Compare that to Yahweh’s genocidal body count.
The serpent never even told Eve to eat the fruit, just that she could (by the way, the fruit of a tree an appearantly all-knowing god put in front of them. Fruit that grants the eater the knowledge of the difference between good and evil. Which is somehow a bad thing?).
Satan wasn’t the one who ruined Job’s life and murdered his family for a bet.
Even when presented as the enemy, they can’t help but write Lucifer as the good guy. I’ll take enlightenment over bullshit threats of eternal damnation by a self described “jealous god” every day of the week.
Unfortunately, we live in a society that’s been so inextricably intertwined with Christianity, so I’m sure there are people who would be awful about it.
Just like there are people who lose their shit when their total at Starbucks is $6.66. Doesn’t make it rational.
Your answer, detailing how Lucifer is wrongly seen as “the bad guy”, in reply to someone questioning who’d name their kid after such a figure, implies that you don’t agree and see no issue.

All true. So in your opinion, naming your kid “Lucifer” wouldn’t affect them and their life any more than naming them “Alex” or “Jane”?
I’m not sure I said or implied that.

Anyway, just call them “Luci”
