Presumably "fundies" will know, or will be happy to find out by
reading scripture, that Lucifer is among other things an adaptation of
the name of a Babylonian king mentioned in Isaiah and a Latin name for
the morning star, which is a symbol of Jesus in Revelation.

People who thing Lucifer is the Devil have no right to call themselves
fundamentalists as they are following a mediaeval (I guess) tradition
instead of going back to the fundamental scripture.
