Do you have children? Would you bow to the will of a prideful 3 year old who demands a seat and a voice of control at the table of his father? Your free will enables you to follow in the steps of your father Lucifer if you wish, but when you meet the same end in eternity you will have only yourself to blame.
Have you ever considered that the steps you would need to take to retain God's protection are not very complex or unobtainable? I'd imagine not since you seem occupied with how to supplant an authority you cannot even comprehend rather than with how to align yourself with a power greater than yourself and to whom you owe each breath you draw.
We obviously will not agree here since I know that I am not God and you believe you should be allowed to be His equal.
I hope you will read the Bible again and see if you have perhaps been missing something.
