Do you know who "Satan" is?
The Devil of the Christians and of the Moslems is a very different entity from "the Accuser" known to the Hebrews.
For the Jews, "Satan" is one of the sons of God, and serves Him.
In the Jewish Apocrypha, it was a demon who coerced Abraham into sacrificing Isaac.
For Christians and Moslems, "Shaitan" is the Slanderer, the Deceiver, the Dragon.
In Christian Apocrypha, Satan is the God YHWH of the Old Testament.
According to the apostle John of Zebedee, it was Satan who impregnated Eve with Cain.
The key to unlocking the mysteries of the Bible is understanding the god of the Old Testament is the Devil.
God of the Old Testament: Ezekiel 9:5-6 Then I heard the LORD say to the other men, “Follow him through the city and kill everyone whose forehead is not marked. Show no mercy; have no pity! 6 Kill them all—old and young, girls and women and little children. But do not touch anyone with the mark. (The mark of Cain).
God of the New Testament: Matthew 19:13-14 13 Then little children were brought to Jesus for him to place his hands on them and pray for them. But the disciples rebuked those who brought them. 14 Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.”

31 To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, “If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. 32 Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”

I love it but how true. I see no reason to worship any of them.

In fact, we can be our own Gods if we work on it
For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.

Genesis 3-5
Oldest lie in the book (literally) .. don't tell me you fell for it too?
The word hieroglyph comes from the Greek adjective ἱερογλυφικός (hieroglyphikos),[3] a compound of ἱερός (hierós 'sacred')[4] and γλύφω (glýphō 'Ι carve, engrave'; see glyph),[5] in turn a loan translation of Egyptian mdw·w-nṯr (medu-netjer) 'god's words'.[6] The glyphs themselves were called τὰ ἱερογλυφικὰ γράμματα (tà hieroglyphikà grámmata) 'the sacred engraved letters'. The word hieroglyph has become a noun in English, standing for an individual hieroglyphic character. As used in the previous sentence, the word hieroglyphic is an adjective, but is often erroneously used as a noun in place of hieroglyph.

I am just trying to figure out why the title implies that Lucifer/Satan is bad?
No trolling or flamming, just genuine interest.
Who knows, maybe he is bad, but to date I've seen zero logical explanation.
Just saying.
Or maybe I am going off topic, so I will not write anymore.

Honest question always worth looking at
Depends on who you ask ... but my story says that things were pretty kewl for us, and "he" brought his issues down to us, tricked the lesser thinking of our ancestors, and since then it's been downhill.
But you got 2 sides, light and dark. The bad guys always (mostly) work in the dark, people who work in the light have nothing to hide. Logic doesn't really come into it, but we all have a conscience, either you use it or you don't. If you don't, then you do whatever you want, which some here think is ok, but it's that same thing that's messed it up for the rest of us. Selfishness.
