“The first sin in our universe was Lucifer's self conceit.”
And so it was,
'That Lucifer, “ The Light-bearer,”The sharer of God's glory, the Attendant of his throne, by transgression became Satan,the Adversary'
was cast to Hades,rebellious angel,
to suffer with the uninhabited souls of the damned.
The angles wept.
“How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning!”,
Closest attendant of thy lord,
whose special light beamed above all other angels,
next in honour to God's dear son,
could fall so, that there could be no redemption.
The angles wept.
'Unhappy spirits that fell with Lucifer'
condemned to a life,
where the stars were forever hidden under a blanket of destruction,
so terrible and bloody,
an inferno of endless suffering for those unworthy of God's love.
The angels wept.
Angels weep for me,
pray for divine intervention,
as I sit in this pit of flames,
with only the wicked and the damned for company,
was I so afraid of falling from his love,
that I subsequently feel from his favour,
banished and condemned.
I beg that redemption will soon release me,
and I will sail valiantly up to heaven,
to sit at god's side as I was once before,
this will be my salvation,
I will be forgiven for my un-atoned sins,
ridding myself of vanity,and self conceit,
and be equal in the glory of the divine.
until then,yours sincerely,
Satan.

Interesting piece but lots of typos - angels become angles several times etc.
It may well be that Lucifer was merely doing the job he was given to do.
I'm not arguing that he wasn't conceited but it seems highly unlikely that God could have misjudged anyone so badly as to have favoured someone who was inherently evil.
It seems more likely to me that Lucifer became the adversary in an attempt to prove to God that democracy was a better method of government than having a benevolent dictatorship. I think that mankind has amply demonstrated that this is not true, hence the game is almost over and Lucifer, his conceit evaporated, must surely be pleased that it is!
However, God in His infinite wisdom has allowed the game so that not just Lucifer but All can learn from it.
It seems quite likely to me that we are in the final incarnation and that all that now exist are having their final chance to prove that they are not irredeemable - it seems to me that many will fail but few will be missed!

for me gods rule seems to work exactly the same as a dictator, the bible contradicts itself many times on many aspects, for example if god is all forgiving then why is there a need for hell in the first place? and it seems that the bad things god allows is ok as he has given us free will, but the if free will is used to not follow god's commandment's then we are punished,no degree of give and take but straight to hell seems unfair, and rather egocentric.

I don't think you considered things enough awsamy.
Hell is simly a place for people to go who aren't welcome in Heaven.
It's hell for that reason - because its full of people who aren't welcome in Heaven. Let's face it Heaven wouldn't be Heaven if everyone was allowed in.
God has allowed pretty much everything and you have free will to do almost whatever you like because that was part of the agreement...
but in the end you will have chosen whether you want to be welcome in Heaven or not - so why blame God?

it's not about blaming god im simply looking at it from a different perspective, its not about blame, but god doesent hold the answers for me. But if gods all forgiving which is what it says in the bible he should be able to forgive almost anyone. i would much rather have a god that was all forgiving than a god that punishes.

and i think that it should depend on whether the person is truly good not just whether they follow all of god's teaching's, say metaphorically satan was sorry it takes a better man to forgive than to punish.
