Okay so Lucifer obviously upset his sky-daddy, is demoted from being an angel permanently, is cast down to rule an entire sector of the afterlife called Hell which we come to know where all damned souls go after they die.
What is the logic of God practically awarding Lucifer an entire realm for him to rule on his own and nearly contest God’s power?
That’s like imprisoning someone to home confinement when they live in a mansion.
I believe in the scripture there’s mostly talk about the realm of the dead as well as weeping and gnashing of teeth, right?
The weeping and gnashing of teeth isn’t even explicitly hell.
It’s just a general separation from God. Which you could call a Hell, but it’s not explicitly stated as a product of that realm which is Hell.
The other things Jesus says and Revelation does heavily imply that it’s hell.

What? I study the Bible quite regularly
Yep, sorry, that was my bad and a holdover from having that actual scenario play out earlier on a different topic and still being annoyed with it. Then I second guessed myself, checked your post history, which showed you’re most likely legit, then deleted my comment. So nevermind, I was in the wrong.
Ah, fair
Thank you. It’s been a while since I read the Bible the last time.
In the book of Apocalypse/Revelation that’s 2 places, there’s the Land of the Dead, and the Lake of Fire; it tells the former will be thrown into the latter at the very end of things, after the Land of the Dead has been emptied.
Ah, this is the book I remember the least of and that confused me the most. But now I also kind of remember something from another NT book talking about burning bad crops or something like that…
The burning part fits the typical hell depictions a bit.
