But Free Will, in order to prove itself, must be put to the test. Hence did Lucifer, being at the top of the created order, fall so profoundly in exploiting this, his highest asset. In rejecting his Creator, he did put to the test his greatest gift of Free Will, and in allowing His creation to so test Him, God did likewise prove His great esteem for this most sacred and pivotal value. Yet in that all creation is made for to partake in the internal love affair of God, so did Lucifer, when he perversely exercised his liberty to reject the Great Love, plummet from the highest heights to the deepest depths, to the realm of God’s footstool, the material cosmos, and so did he there infect the lowest of God’s created order of beings, mankind.

As a result I agree that yes, he is a dog and put him outside where dogs live. I will at some point remind myself that he is truly a valued companion and return him to that position of love and respect he deserves. How then does your God deal with his creation with less love and respect than I show to my dog? How is it that having created the dog of humanity your God would deny it the occasional piss and crap?
