I mean sure its not immoral to be gay but god kinda sorta should hate, idk, people behind genocides and stuff. Would be weird not hating people who do those.

I mean... canonically speaking, God would be self-hating if that were the case.

One of his signature genocides was murdering everyone in "Sodom", presumably for sodomy.

Bottom line, the pastor is right about God and you should GTFO of that Church.

This was my complaint regarding the series Lucifer in which the devil himself... fights crime. And just spooky serial killer sorts, as opposed to,

  • War profiteers like the whole US military industrial complex
  • Big pharma like Purdue, pushing fentanyl producte like its aspirin and pressuring doctors to oversubscribe
  • The fossil fuel industry suppressing greener energy and science linking pollution and the climate crisis.
  • Big chemical and their contribution to the contamination of ecosystems and water supplies with PFOA, microplastics, etc.


Not to be that wizard, but Now witness true evil!

The reason for all that is Chloe, who happens to be an ordinary cop and not a greenpeace activist or something. Also, the convenient ability to turn the show into a detective serial.

In the original Comics Lucifer doesn't really care about all of that stuff, either, he's pinpoint-focussed on escaping dad's dictatorship, mostly celestial shenanigans big corporations are small fry compared to the psychological-mythological task he's up to. But for a TV show you need an additional hook, way to cerebral (and non-episodic), all that stuff.

The original Lucifer might be even harder to adapt to TV than Sandman so I'm really not mad about the reinterpretation. The show could certainly be better in places but it's not actively doing the original Character dirty.
