HH: The idea is that God is good and creates what is good (Genesis
1). So God would not create an evil being, so the angel called the
devil must have fallen.



Yes, I have sent an article that discusses that this is a Christian 
idea precisely because they can't understand G-d creating good as 
well as evil.  Even though G-d created everything.
