Though you have a good and well thought out point, my wonderful Erych, I actually said that about Hell, not my boss Ricky.
My boss actually said Heaven would be a horrible place because the angels detest us. All for God's more fierce love of such fragile, weak willed creatures rather than his first sentient creation. Heaven would essentially be Hell.
Not to mention, yes, we were granted free will and ran rampant with the gift, while the angels were not. Mind you it's true, he, (Ricky) was raised Catholic, but then again so was I and now I'm a regular heathen.
My boss isn't the first to realize and, ha ha, "bring to light" this point. I highly suggest any interested in the topic read, yes, a graphic novel, titled "Preacher".
Besides that, it was brought to my attention and I double checked it, but apparently Lucifer was also an insane Babylonian king.
Another note worthy mention, I believe it is Jesus who is in fact quoted saying, "I am Lucifer", or in other words, "I am the light of morning." How very odd, yes?
Personally, I can't acknowledge the actual existence of such a deity, for to do so would mean that I must acknowledge a Hebrew/Catholic God, which I do not.
However, I confess to being enthralled, even obsessed with the arch type. A being put through so much suffering, denied and condemned by his own "father", all for having different ideals and despite his alleged inability to act upon it, (another contradiction or else he could not have revolted in the first place) felt betrayed and forsaken long before his fall.
As a footnote, I also suggest anyone interested in Theology regardless of the specifics, look into the documentary "Zeitgeist".
