If this is true than why do we humans deny existence of the opposite which would be God or Gods?

"Would having everything fixed by a God or Gods not make things way too simple? Think about this the responsibility part of the equation within existence would be taken out entirely, the learning would stop, any form of understanding would vanish and we as humans would basically become addicts. I think that God or the Gods understand this as it is something they went through originally? Because over parenting would then become not teaching but rather enabling, a habit that we would not be able to kick hence why it is crucial to understand the responsibility we bare not just to ourselves as individuals, but the whole as humanity and not to mention the planet."
Lucifer (UK: /ˈluːsɪfər/ LOO-si-fər; US: /-sə-/; 'light-bringer') is a Latin name for the planet Venus in its morning appearances, and is often used for mythological and religious figures associated with the planet. Due to the unique movements and discontinuous appearances of Venus in the sky, mythology surrounding these figures often involved a fall from the heavens to earth or the underworld. Interpretations of a similar term in the Hebrew Bible, translated in the King James Version as "Lucifer", led to a Christian tradition of applying the name Lucifer, and its associated stories of a fall from heaven, to Satan. Most modern scholarship regards these interpretations as questionable, and translates the term in the relevant Bible passage (Isaiah 14:12) as "morning star" or "shining one" rather than as a proper name, "Lucifer".[1]
As a name for the Devil, the more common meaning in English, "Lucifer" is the rendering of the Hebrew word הֵילֵל (transliteration: hêylêl; pronunciation: hay-lale)[2] in Isaiah (Isaiah 14:12) given in the King James Version of the Bible. The translators of this version took the word from the Latin Vulgate,[3] which translated הֵילֵל by the Latin word lucifer (uncapitalized),[4][5] meaning "the morning star, the planet Venus", or, as an adjective, "light-bringing".[6]
As a name for the planet, "Lucifer" is a proper name and is capitalized in English. In Greco-Roman civilization, the planet was often personified and considered a god[7] and in some versions considered a son of Aurora (the Dawn).[8]
Shayāṭīn (شياطين), singular: Shayṭān (Arabic: شيطان) are evil spirits, comparable to demons or devils, in Islamic theology and mythology. Usually, shayatin are regarded as the offspring of Iblis, but other beings, such as evil jinn, fallen angels or Tawaghit are also identified as shayatin.[1][2][3] From an ontological perspective, shayatin are all beings that have become a manifestation of evil and ugliness.[4] In Quran, surah 6:112 collectively refers to the "shayatin" among Ins (i.e. human beings) and jinn, whereupon some exegetes linked this expression to "evil among everything in shape" and "evil among everything invisible"

It is just Christians trying to find a way to self validate themselves.....

Guess you've never really had a good long look at the catholic church then ?
26 To the one who is victorious and does my will to the end, I will give authority over the nations— 27 that one ‘will rule them with an iron scepter and will dash them to pieces like pottery’—just as I have received authority from my Father. 28 I will also give that one the morning star. 29 Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches.

The church truly sucks...in so many ways. But they do perform good works from time to time too.
But most importantly - the church may have a lot of problems but that should never be used as a reflection of the Catholic faith itself - regardless of what religion you may be practicing and/or believe in.

The Morning Star works for or serves CHRIST...
