To stress his point, in Morals and Dogma Pike ridicules the book of Revelation for denying Lucifer equality with God: "<I>The Apocalypse (Book of Revelation) is.. .the Apotheosis of that Sublime Faith which aspires to God alone, and </I><I><U>despises all the pomps and works of Lucifer</U></I>....</div> <div> Pike's scorn is directed toward those who have faith only in the God of the Apocalypse without giving Lucifer due respect.
