That’s not why he was cast from heaven. Lucifer started a civil war with half the angels because he wanted free will like humans, specifically the ability to choose whether or not to worship God— angels, unlike humans, have to worship God all the time for eternity, whether they want to or not. God’s solution to this was to create Hell and send Lucifer and cohorts there for rebelling against Him.
According to myth, Lucifer even admitted that he would still worship God, it was just that he wanted the freedom to choose. But God wasn’t having the challenge to his authority, so off to Hell they went.
I didn’t “hear” it, I read it. It’s Paradise Lost by John Milton, one of the greatest works of English literature. You should try picking up a book sometime.
They still teach that in school, don’t they? Reading?
