But if you are the kind of person who cries out against this abomination we must warn you that people who go through life expecting informal variant idioms in English to behave logically are setting themselves up for a lifetime of hurt.

I kinda wanna reply with a shittymorph and how weird al ended up plunging 50 ft through the air onto him through the announcers table or something something. But I'm too lazy.

Very strange photo. Doesn't look like any type of titmouse I know and the original photo being from britannica.com has it as a blue tit, which isn't technically a type of titmouse, but the color doesn't match that image. It seems like the photo they used to put at the top of the article is some sort of composite.

I have no qualms about pineapple on pizza. But the moment the pineapple hits that pizza dough, it turns into a flatbread.

There's some mentioning of angels rebelling in the Jewish Bible and the book of Enoch as well. Which Aquinas attributes to it being very early in the creation of angels and that they weren't perfect beings yet.

It's kinda obvious that when we go deeper into the study of texts referencing angels, there's all sorts of tellings of these stories.

In that sense I think you're right and the idea of angels having a will of their own has existed for a long time before Milton's Paradise Lost.

Mythology is really hard to follow and is definitely not clear cut as history.

I remember a teacher, a priest from the order of mercy, told me on a course I took ages ago: "You'd be a fool to take religious texts literally and as an accurate account of what happened."

The one example he used was that according to customs that were common in the region and things that were told of Jesus of what he did or saw happen. He'd be roughly 300 years old to have experienced them all not 30.

I'm not super familar with the Quran, but I wouldn't say Iblis is the same entity as Lucifer. I think Iblis is even less independant than Lucifer in that aspect, they are a tool that god uses to teach about evil.
