"Morning star" is actually the correct one. "Lucifer" was a misinterpretation by some translators.

Highly doubt it. Lucifer is a fallen angel and stars are up in the heavens. It's a contradiction to call Venus a fallen angel.

Lucifer was invented by translators. You won't find him in the Bible except in the Latin Vulgate and KJV.

Tell that to the church of Satan.

The church of satan is just a mockery of Christianity

No, it's also normalizing the idea that morality is subjective.

What does that have to do with Bible translations?

The church of Satan is not just a mockery of Christianity. This statement has nothing to do with Bible translations.

It's obviously a bunch of emo teenagers who think they're cool rebels for worshipping Satan. Otherwise they wouldn't share so many ideas with Jesus. Our modern notion of Satan doesn't even exist in the Bible, Christians made it up over the ages. His main role in the New Testament was that of a demiurge trying to bring charges against everyone to get us all condemned. "Satan" isn't even a real name, it's a title derived from the Hebrew word for an accuser in the court, much like "Christ". Evidence shows this is how he can make people keep reincarnating into his matrix forever: each life is a sentence for bad karma, and he makes it humanly impossible to not rack up even more of it. That's why he's called Satan.
