Atheists & Agnostics

When Lucifer tests Jesus in the desert: In the first test, Jesus responds that man needs food and spirituality.

In the second test, he tells Lucifer that "it doesn't work that way" when challenged to produce evidence for God.

The last test is Lucifer offering Jesus to make him king of the world and Jesus tells him to go away.




I always wondered: How can Lucifer credibly make that offer when God rules everything?

I think, that offer is really meant as a philosophical choice: Heaven or Earth. Worldliness or spirituality.
And with each answer Jesus picks spirituality.
