Lucifer

Christian Claim: God is perfect and all his works are perfect. God is all-knowing and all-powerful. God created innocent Lucifer.

Me: Then how did Lucifer and some angels become evil and transform into Satan and his demons?

Apologetic answer: Lucifer has free will.

Me: Still didn't answer the question.

Even if Lucifer has free will if evil didn't exist before Satan he will not be corrupted. So, does that mean evil already existed before Satan? And how come some angels other than Lucifer were also corrupted to become demons? How corruption entered heaven which is the abode of a perfect god? Doesn't make any sense.

Apologetic answer: Lucifer was corrupted by his own pride.

Me: Which again brings us back to my first question: How can Lucifer be corrupted by pride if evil doesn't exist before Satan? Where does this evil thought of pride come from? And why is it that some angels became demons? Why did rebellion enter their mind while living in perfect heaven ruled by a perfect, Omni-being called god?
