Just want to add something that might have relevance in this discussion. It's been in my mind lately. Specifically, a few years ago Bill Moyers was interviewing a philospher by the name of Campbell about the concept of hell and the devil. Growing up as a Baptist, Moyers mentioned that a Christian theologian once stated that the Devil is in hell because he 'loved' the Creator. Being in hell, his only satisfaction is in recalling the memory of the Creator and the bliss of heavenly paradise. In my own opinion, being once a powerful Archangel himself, Lucifer and his allies decided to rebel against the Creator and his angels knowing full well that they were going to lose the battle. In effect, they chose to go to hell because it was an available option in the heavenly realm. It was the only option where they can have a certain degree of authority that is independent and apposed to the Creator's. ------------------------ Yahoo!
