When Lucifer was administrator of the place, he wasn't anyone's
ancestor. Monkeys were the ancestors. Basically, he was a meddler. It
seems when Christians blame Earthly Original Sin on Lucifer, they're not
entirely wrong. He invented bureaucracy. "If I'm principled enough, it
will make up for the fact I don't care about the folk I'm caring for."
In case it wasn't already obvious, he proved that it doesn't.
You
can imagine it would have worked out better if he was more responsible
and openly enslaved the proto-humans, except that spiritually speaking,
slavery is impossible. Free will is an omnipotent law. A cosmic dao
principle.
If the Nephilim story is sufficiently true, then Lucifer noticed the problem and tried to solve it...by having sex with folk he wasn't in love with. Not exactly a knowledge god, our Lucifer.
The other problem: husband and wives deserve each other. Lucifer sinned against Humanity because Humanity, even before he descended, deserved to be sinned against. Original Sin was merely a lower spiritual reality coming into harmony with a higher, truer spiritual reality.
The moral of the story: even if someone deserves to be sinned against, you should avoid sinning against them if you can. Lucifer died as a result of playing along. Don't be like him; bro was supposed to be immortal, what do you think will happen to you? Satan was insane to accept the punisher's role, and he would have driven himself insane if he wasn't already; his outcome was execution.
Gotham doesn't deserve a hero, nor should you try to be the hero it needs right now.
P.S. Secular Humanism could be responsible: it could raise temples to specific living humans. However, this would interfere with Envy worship, so...
