The True Nature of Hell Explained

Lucifer's View on Humanity and Spirituality

Lucifer: Humans... and how I love you talking monkeys for this... know more about war and treachery of the spirit than any angel.

The War Between Angels and Humanity

Lucifer: Other angels have made this war because they hate you, you and all humans. God has put you in His grace and pushed them aside. They're desperate. They've never been able to conquer the other loyal angels, and so this war has remained in stalemate for thousands of years. And while this state of affairs endures, no soul can meet its God. Your parents, and their parents, and so on from the beginning lie still in wormy Earth. Of course, some of them do come to me eventually, for while Heaven may be closed I am always open, even on Christmas.

The Decline of Perfect Love

Lucifer: [sing-song] I was the first angel, loved once above all others. A perfect love. But like all true loves... one day it withered on the vine...

The Nature of Faith and Humanity

Thomas Daggett: And in the end, I think it must be about faith, and if faith is a choice, then it can be lost - for a man, an angel, or the devil himself. And if faith means never completely understanding God's plan, then maybe understanding just a part of it - our part - is what it is to have a soul. And maybe in the end, that's what being human is, after all.

The Dark Nature of Divine Justice

Thomas Daggett: Did you ever notice how in the Bible, when ever God needed to punish someone, or make an example, or whenever God needed a killing, He sent an angel? Did you ever wonder what a creature like that must be like? A whole existence spent praising your God, but always with one wing dipped in blood. Would you ever really want to see an angel?

Faith and the Burden of Knowledge

Thomas Daggett: Some people lose their faith because Heaven shows them too little. But how many people lose their faith because Heaven showed them too much?

Gabriel: Study your math, kids. Key to the universe!

A Secret Shared Before Birth

Gabriel: Do you know how you got that dent, in your top lip? Way back, before you were born, I told you a secret, then I put my finger there and I said "Shhhhh!

The Dark Nature of an Angel's Power

Gabriel: I'm an angel. I kill firstborns while their mamas watch. I turn cities into salt. I even, when I feel like it, rip the souls from little girls, and from now till kingdom come, the only thing you can count on in your existence is never understanding why.

Reflections on the First War and Betrayal

Simon: I remember the First War, the way the sky burned, the faces of angels destroyed. I saw a third of Heaven's legion banished and the creation of Hell. I stood with my brothers and watched Lucifer fall. But now, my brothers are not brothers, and we have come here, where we are mortal, to steal the Dark Soul, not yet Lucifer's, to serve our cause. I have always obeyed, but I never thought the War would happen again.
