Satan is a very interesting entity in the bible. The bible doesn't say he was cast down. This is a false interpretation. It does however suggest that he uses persuasion to get people to know their own mind. He is also assumed to be behind some of the demon possessions! Basically, the bible is far and away more charitable and benevolent toward Lucifer, than it is toward God. Satan generally is depicted as an inner voice, and everyone except conservative Christians (those believing in bible inerrancy, and thus unable to support any contrary opinions, or advance any new concepts of Truth) believes Satan to be symbolic only. I have seen a good link on Satan, but I just need to find it. Going out to watch the Tyson fight tonight.

I have posited what I call the False God problem. There's the false God problem, the mistranslation problem, the misidentification problem,... it's worth the work to figure out why none are them are possible, then you don't have all these problems. TP
