"one angel wanted to be powerful like God" but God would have known this was going to happen, and so instilled this desire into the angel. Ergo - God created evil.

God created his angels and everything was perfect but this one angel wanted to be powerful like God. None of the angels were aloud to think like this so God sent Satan down into hell. I thought you would like to know about the serpent too. Gid created the serpet to see if Adam and Eve (the first man and woman) would obey him or the serpent. So God told them they could eat from any tree in the garden besides the tree of knoledge of good and evil in the middle of the garden. But the serpent told them they could eat from all the trees and they would become like God if they did. Then Eve ate some fruit and told Adam it was fine. Adam ate some too. God came to them and asked what it was they had done. They had sinned.God bannished them from the garden. The death and sin entered the world. I hope this information helps you. :) I thought i’d tell you about how Gid created Satan.

The 'right way' I assume is the 'true' or 'correct' belief. It sounds like you are contradicting yourself. What is the 'right way' exactly? Religion is exactly the same as spirituality as it assumes that it somehow understands and can explain the un-explainable (ie, after death, the spirit, afterlife, paranormal). Or give meaning to the meaningless. Scientific method is by far the most productive way of understanding our place in the universe as it does not seek to explain but it seeks to test hypothesis which, by default, are not assumed to be correct. >I personally feel it more important to belief in the right way rather than to hold a ‘right’ or >‘’true’ or ‘correct’ belief.

Religion is an easy target though as it is set up with a philosophy of holding either a right and wrong belief. it imediately sets itself up for critique by those who are considered to hold the 'wrong belief'. I personally feel it more important to belief in the right way rather than to hold a 'right' or ''true' or 'correct' belief. I wonder whether you see any differences between religion and spirituality? do you perceive celtic or christian spirituality, for example as being any different to christianity as a religion for example? just a thought. you may be also be interested in some of things we're doing in brighton - exploring similar questions to these that you raise - www.thegardenbrighton.co.uk cheers Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
