No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

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.
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.
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.
Anyway, just call them "Luci"
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.
