   Quetzalcoatl, Aphrodite, etc.  Lucifer is not the devil.  The   
   devil is nearer to the inferior sign of Ares, Mars, mainly the   
   ego or self, the beginning of the morning part of the zodiac.   
      
   >Satan is Venus.   
      
   Satan is a popular name for the angel of time, Kronos, Saturn.   
   This angel is often depicted as the grim reaper, the harvester   
   with the sharp sickle or scythe in his hand.  Like Lucifer,   
   Satan is not the devil either.  Seems like Lucifer, Satan, the   
   devil, they all get a bad rap in human lore.  Scapegoating seems   
   to be a distinctively human trait.  "The devil made me do it!"

   Don't know about that one, Achilles?  That's a comparison that   
   I read about after googling it and found it on wikipedia.   
      
   I think it's important to remember that, like all generally   
   spherical or smoothly oblate solar system bodies, the "light-   
   bringer" Venus reflects sunlight more or less hemispherically   
   back in the direction of the illuminating Sun.  This could   
   present a good argument that the Sun is, in fact, the primary   
   "light bringer" to the whole solar system, with nearby planets,   
   distant stars, and other more relatively dim light sources,   
   playing second fiddle at most, at least in terms of luminosity.   
      
   I personally am a sun-worshipper.  I don't get a tan from Venus,   
   nothing personal against Venus.  The Sun is the lion of life.
