At one time, "Satan" was "God's" right hand man, his most trusted "Angel" and was described as "the most beautiful Angel in Heaven".
When "God" found out what "Satan" had done, he got pissed and kicked "Satan" out of Heaven. "God" found out when he came looking for them, calling for them, and they finally answered that they were hiding, When asked *why* they were hiding, they answered that they were ashamed of their nakedness. When asked *who* told them they were naked, they answered "Thy Serpent", and God knew that Satan had been teaching them. he supposedly commented to other Angels that "they are like us now, they are gods themselves".

Peace,
Ghost
