Lucifer is a villainous character of course, but I feel like sometimes he is portrayed as two-dimensional - he was a fallen angel after all. I believe that the spiritual entities - i.e. angels - are held up to different esteem than humans.

Therefore, Cain (the first murderer), a human is the worst character for me.

My least favorite character is Jezebel. She is selfish, manipulative, and evil. She is an example of how a woman ought not to carry herself. Pharaoh is also unlikable. Tyrants and slave owners who have ruled since his time seem to borrow a leaf from his book.

I think the worst character is Lucifer, but I put characters into two categories - human and other. I cannot begin to imagine what happened to make Lucifer choose as he did. I literally have no words. As far as the human character, I had to think about that one for awhile. I think it would be Absalom. He was a son of David, and I would expect more of a fear of the Lord in David’s household, although there was a ton of dysfunction. I hated how Absalom suppressed his sister Tamar after she was raped and did nothing to help her. Even when he later killed his brother, her rapist, it seemed more of a dig at David for not doing anything to punish his firstborn than avenging her abuse. Most of all, I hated his manipulation in order to usurp the crown from David. He was also extremely handsome. Hmmm - seems like he and Lucifer share some common traits.

My worst character is Lucifer. All the sufferings that we have in the world today were caused by him yet he does not want to leave us alone. He is even getting worse every day.

I agree that the worst character is Lucifer since he is the source of evil and he is the true villain. The fact that he wanted to overthrow God shows his vicious pride and the fact that he hates humans is evident throughout the Bible.

I had the Pharaoh as my worst character because of his stubborn nature that ultimately affected his subjects in the negative. His selfish nature procrastinated his accent to release the Israelites.

My worst character will be Sarah. I think she was indecisive, insecure and not faithful to God. God just had mercy on her by making Isaace come through her.

I will have to agree with you. Lucifer remains the number one villain in the Bible. From the beginning to the end, the Bible talks about him/her.
