Did God fire an Angel or Did an Angel just quit?

Perhaps he knows it's a desperate struggle but his conscience drives him to take the risk. After all, we never get to hear his side of the story. All we hear is the propaganda from the ruling government that he's evil and wants all the power for himself. Isn't that what we'd expect from a dictator and how he would paint one of his generals who moved against him? That's all we'd hear from King George if we only got his story on Washington. That's what we did find Hitler had to say about Stauffenberg, the general who tried to kill him.

If you read the Bible without a bias, it's hard to come away with the impression that Satan is the bad guy unless you accept without reservation God blaming Satan for everything even though the Bible itself depicts Satan doing very little. He's basically given the same treatment (and for the same exact reasons) Snowball gets in Animal Farm, and everybody goes on praising the villain because Comrade Yahweh is Always Right. You even have the sheep bleating for their shepherd. It's unintentional and yet brilliant.
