	I heard it as "Satan was given the job of tempting man, he did not
enjoy this, as he is basically a good guy. When he left heaven (not kicked out),
he took 2/3 rds of the other angels with him.

	A demon is basically what the early christians called the previous
Gods. By doing this they can therefore prove to themselves that non-Christians
are actively evil, and thus are perfectly willing to let them burn in the 
afterlife, and if it can be arranged, in this life too.

Ps. Anyone know anything about a book called "the key of Solomon" or some such,

It's amazing really, the time people spend arguing about this subject, when in
reality it's only a story, and not a particularily well written one at that.
