You're going to destroy evil? Hey, good luck with that. Without
evil, good would have no meaning. Good is defined by evil. They
two are opposite extremes of the same thing. Like warm and cold.
Both are temperatures. Warm only has meaning when contrasted with
cold. If you could make cold cease to exist, somehow, there would
be no warm, either. You can't have light without dark. You can't
have up without down. That's why the Devil exists, and why he will
always exist. Because he is made of the same stuff as God.
In Christian folklore, which was unofficially recognized by the
demonologists of the Church for centuries, Lucifer was the highest
angel, who rebelled against the authority of God and led an army
of other angels in a civil war in heaven. He was cast down into a
pit or abyss, and when he fell he was transformed from something
beautiful into something ugly. His name changed from Lucifer, Star
of the Morning, to Satan, the Adversary.
