    Lucifer was kicked out of Heaven for rebelling against God, which he did because he was jealous of humanity.

    Or so the Paradise Lost goes. None of that shit is in the Bible.

      was such a weird experience as a kid having a catholic preiest try explaining that, the devil rebelled because he was jealous of our free will. and lacking the language to engage that. “buddy the moral of your story is a big red flag for me when considering my accociation with this room full of people” was not a collection of words and concepts i had available to me as a small child. a desire for autonomy i got pretty easy though.
