Was he right about "God" ?
Right about what about God exactly?

That he wanted to keep people as stupid slaves without any idea or self-awareness.
That he toyed with them.

Source?

Old Testament

Not to be a stickler but could you be more specific? It's a big book.

for you

The lightbringer gave humanity self-awareness, thus they became just like their creator who made them in his image.
The whole paradise story is just an antique analogy to birth and early childhood. For the first years you are not aware of yourself but part of your environment, especially your mother. At first you are actually one with her. That's the garden Eden. No sin, no awareness. At some point, around the time you start remembereing things, you are expulsed from there.

Interesting theory.

It would just help me better formulate an answer if I knew what exactly it was you were referencing. I just don't recall Lucifer, the Devil, Satan, whatever you want to call him, saying that God wanted to do that in the Old Testament.

The bible is such a biased scripture. We dont really know Satan's point of view.
Why do people treat fanfics like Paradise Lost and Divine Comedy like they are canonical in any way shape or form?

OP dunno what he saying
in the OT it's a literal serpent that says to eat the fruit
pretty sure Satan doesn't show up until Book of Job. and he plays an extremely minor role in the bible

This is what happens when you get your theology from Milton instead of the Bible.
>>1967409
Never read Milton, did read the bible though. What actually happened is I became an atheist.

Because they're much more exciting than the Bible.
