Does the end really justify the means?

Amenadiel is a hypocrite as he is more than happy to indulge in activities, that he claims to find reprehensible when his, brother Lucifer Morningstar indulges in them.

Amenadiel lectures Lucifer about the dangers of his interactions with humanity and, thereby endeavours to claim the moral high ground against his immoral sibling.

But in reality it is Amenadiel who should be considered as the most immoral of the two brothers, if we are supposed to take orthodox religion seriously.

Religion's alleged reason for its existence is that, it shows the way that humanity should behave, in general and towards each other in particular.

That is the theory and publicity blurb that emanates, from all of the worlds religions large and small.

If we scrutinise the actions that Amenadiel is directly responsible for, then we discover that they run fundamentally counter to the values, that his God is supposed to be promoting.

Why did the Devil in the form of Lucifer Morningstar, ever decide to bother consulting a therapist, is it merely the reality of moving to America to, an epicentre of their consumerist society.

Father Frank Lawrence pays Lucifer Morningstar a somewhat surprise visit at Lux but, the most startling aspect is that he asked him for assistance, to help a young parishioner in trouble.

Not surprisingly this doesn't end well for the Padre in his quest, but matters conspire to turn things around for both of them, when Lucifer decided to proffer sanctuary to the priest.

Malcolm Graham has returned to work at the police precinct and, Daniel Espinoza seemed unduly concerned to hear his news, that he had been assigned to work as his colleague.
