GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

huh, I never knew that Lucifer had a last name. Thought he was like Prince.
I may have got that from a comic book.

most sympathy with are Lucifer Morningstar and Judas Iscariot. In both cases, they were merely doing their Part in the Plan, and really got the crap end of the deal for their troubles
I always feel sorry for Judas, too. But according to theologians I've talked to, his sin was his suicide, which showed he didn't have faith that God had meant it to happen. Though the church through history has always portrayed him as a great betrayer instead of being faithless.

Doesn't Lucifer mean "Morningstar"?
so, less like Prince and more like Boutros Boutros Ghali?

I think Lucifer literally means "light bringer"

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Then there's also the sin of inspiring the name of a heavy metal band....

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Hee!
I am having trouble writing something at work. It's a summary of stuff that the people reading it will already know. So I don't want to say too much, but then I can't just skip it altogether, because it gives the context for the rest. Eh. "So, remember how you had toast for breakfast? Wasn't that good??"

I'm betting Lucifer doesn't really look anything like Viggo Mortensen. Damn.
Actually, I'd love to see that Lucifer talking to W:
Bush: This war is mine!
Lucifer: Your war is arrogance. That makes it evil. And that's mine.
Bush: Lucifer. Sitting in your basement. Sulking about your break up with the boss. You're nothing.
Lucifer: Time to come home, Georgie.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
(Which...honestly, to me, doesn't seem to make anyone come off any better. God is a psychotic terrorist, and Job is a ex-wannabe-prostitute with Stockholm syndrome and daddy issues?)
Well, again, it's a question of metaphor and meaning vs. plot mechanics, but I also know that it's a pretty upsetting story no matter how you come at it. I'm just twisted enough to enjoy the metaphor and the fucked-upness and all, but I don't expect to be able to convince anyone else that because that's how I feel about it, they ought to too. Just sayin that's my read, is all.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I've always liked Judas, too. May have to do with early exposure to Jesus Christ Superstar, which, is, like one step away from Bible slash.
