While that's true, it's a half-truth. The rest of the story is "that's what Lucipher said after he got booted from heaven for having the same 'I will' thoughts" (Isaiah 14:12-14). [The Bible doesn't get into valiant spirits & less valiant spirits, Lucipher competing for the Saviorhood title, cursed skin colors based on pre-existent sides that were taken--that's all Mormon creation...so I'm sticking to the Biblical reasons Lucipher was booted].

The full truth when you read the Bible through and through is that there's one true God, God doesn't know of any other true God (Isaiah 43), competing with God as a god is called "idolatry," and lusting after godhood is not only idolatry but is the ultimate pride, which is both what Lucipher got busted for (along w/hate/murder/lying...see John 8) as well as being something God repeatedly says that He hates.

So he's focusing on godhood & how's he going to join the ranks of divinity?

I can think of worse things to focus on.

Isa 43:10 Ye [are] my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I [am] he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me.
